My Xbox crapped out today. Didn't get the RRoD, it instead was felled by a system error (one red ring in lower right). Let's have a moment of silence for my Xbox.

Xbox 1: June 2007- September 2008

Anyway, I had a two year warranty with Best Buy so I could just take it to the store and exchange it for free (better than having to send it back to Microsoft). So I went to Best Buy and went to the service counter. The guy at the counter was very nice, and just told me to pick out a new one. I picked up a Pro edition (now with a 60Gb hardrive >_>), I exchanged hardrives (all my data was on my old one), and then the exchange was complete. The guy then ran it through the computer and saw the price difference. Back in June 2007, it cost $400, now it costs $300. I got the $100 price difference back! I used $40 of it on another replacement plan (just in case), which left me with $60. I was pretty happy with the $60, that's another game I can buy. I find it awesome that something bad can easily turn into something good.

Well that's about it for now, thanks for reading.
