My Xbox360 died yesterday. I’ve never had any problems with it until yesterday. It’s been turned off for a couple of days because I sold my big TV, but I was startig to feel the urge again so I conneced it to my small TV.
I played for like 20-30 mins, when it suddenly froze and the audio stopped with a short beep. “That’s odd”, I thought and powered it off, then on. And again I froze this time in the startup animation. “Oh shit”, I said to myself, “This is bad”. A couple resets later I was greeting with the dreaded red ring of light.
So today I phoned Microsoft Xbox Support and they are going to send UPS to collect it. Thats good, but the timing is absolutely ass. I was planning to purchase a brand new HDTV this week, and now I don’t have a gaming console to plug into it, nor a DVD player as my Xbox 360 was double for that. Hopefully I can connect my Media Center PC without a hitch.
