My XBox 360 just died

Gaming Microsoft — 07 April 2006

Alright, it’s official, my XBox 360 just died. I’m having the infamous 3 flashing red lights. This isn’t the first time my XBox 360 has had this problem, but before, unplugging the machine, removing the hard drive and memory cards, giving it some time, and booting back up used to fix. However, this time, nothing could save my XBox.

The game that sealed its fate? Dynasty Warriors. At the lame ass title screen. Not even the CPU intensive game portion. Screw you Microsoft.

Microsoft is sending out a box, and I’ll have to send in my XBox for repairs. Lord only knows how long it will take to get a new one.

Yeah, I’m pissed.

I’m apologize to everyone I laughed who had these problems. Mmm these words taste good.

This is why Sony rules and Microsoft blows. Who cares that they got ahead of Sony, in the end Sony will win with quality and not rush it to market as we obviously know.

I just got off the phone with xbox customer support the first guy was cool, but this second lady just took 30 minutes then she tells me her computer froze and i have to call back and do it all over again cause she cant finish now! She also said i have to ship it to them (More money out of pocket) and get a tracking number and call them to give them the number and wait to get it back!
