So before it was just a 1/4 red ring; now I have the true 3/4 Red Ring of Death. I thought my console would last longer since I bought it a year after launch, but it ended up only lasting a year or so anyway. After the first redring, I managed to get it going again for a couple days, just ling enoguh to finish Dark Sector and most of Condemned 2. But now, it's done for good. According to Microsoft, I shouldn't have had it plugged into a surge protector..... But it won't reach any outlets in my room otherwise, so I had no choice. Unfortunately, I have to have the box that I need to ship it in shipped to my home address...but I can't go back home to ship it for like 3 weeks, and then I'll have to wait another 3 weeks to get it back -- what a pain. Atleast there's nothing good coming out for the 360 for another 2 months anyway (except GTA4...I GUESS. But I don't care much about GTA anyway). I'll have to rent Paper Mario and Fire Emblem to consume my time while I'm waiting...Well, at least I'll be distracted by finals for the next couple of weeks.

Yeah...except I didn't finish Condemned yet...[SIGH].
I just hope they don't give me back another faulty one like they like to do that only lasts a week before it needs repairs again, starting an endless chain so that I only have my 360 here and working like 10% of the time....yeah

Its not all that bad. I finally had a reason to play a wii game when mine died. GTA4? blah big deal. It is not all that bad mine took less than a month. You will live, anyway the time frame seems right. mine died almost a year ago and I got it at launch.

Yeah, I think it's a conspiracy, lol. They'll all probably die again at the same time after the 3-yr warranty expires.
