Three Red Lights of Death

Yeah, so the inevitable happened. I got the three red lights of death on Saturday night, and my Xbox 360 was toast. I have gotten them before, but I was able to restart and everything was fine. This time, however, it is done for. I was not very happy, but yet I wasn’t as mad as I thought I would be. I had always imagined what I would be like if such a thing occured to me, and it was not a happy Joel, let me tell you. Anyways, I called them up on Monday and they said that they would send out a coffin (okay, so they didn’t actually call it a coffin, but I think that it is appropriate). I then pack in my 360, just the unit (my hdd stays with me, YES!), and send it away to them.

Now, the guy on the phone said “exchange,” so I’m hoping that is what it will be. He said they would have it for a maximum of three business days, which is really good. Now I just have to wait for the coffin (box, if you don’t like my terminology). I was actually really impressed with Microsoft on this one. The last time I dealt with them, it was not a pleasent experiance. You can read all about my last encounter here. Well, I’ll give you an update when I know more.

Oh and look for something fun on my blog in the next week or so.
