Tags: XBOX RROD red ring of death
So I wrote my last blog about all the great games out to play, and my exams etc, etc. and lo and behold, my xbox RROD'ed. Typical.
I was going to take it to England with me as Im there for three months, but obviously now that is a waste of time. I'll send it off to get repaired, but that' not going to do a lot of good as I leave on Thursday.
Now I have no excuse not to study really, and at least this means I wont have that much to carry on the plane. I'm thinking of grabbing an Arcade once I'm over in England.
..... ANGRY.....
Damn Microsoft and their cheap cut corners Xbox building.

Bummer, man. That's why I wait before I buy a console though because I can wait until the later hardware revisions come out.
2nd blog withen 2 weeks about this issue.
Bugger man, thats gotta suck, but when your in England why would you wanna game for.
Just realised its gonna be winter over there soon. So gaming may be on the gender I see.

Still that's gonna be a while without the 360. I hope you have something else to play. :D

Typically,I would insert a comment expressing how a broken 360 wouldnt make me a tad surprised, but that would just be sad.
I have had two experiences with the RROD. But both times Microsoft has done a straight swap so it was all good. In fact the second time they gave a free years subscription to Xbox Live gold.
On a side note, would your Xbox have even worked in the UK? Don't they use a different power configuration than us?

I was pretty sure the UK just had a different socket configuration coz I didn't have to buy a power converter to charge up the Gizmondo I have.

It's a shame that people think that way. Microsoft have failed so badly. I mean people shouldn't have this kind of mindset about a $500 piece of hardware.

The RROD is what's stopped me shelling out my hard earned cash on one of these gadgets. I don't wanna buy something then have it die in a few months

Now you can get a cheaper 360 for Christmas, bet the problem has not been solved.
