The Day the Games Stood Still
After just recently Defending XBox 360 and Saying the CBC shouldn’t be bringing up the Red Ring of Death right before Xmas when they have done so much to fix the problem, my Xbox 360 on Jan 11th stood still.
Just another day loading up a newly rented game, and all of a sudden i get a lound beep and it froze. I didn’t think anything was up so I reset it and nothing loaded, I looked down and the normally beautiful green glow was replaced with the Red stare of 3 rings.
So I grabbed my phone and called up microsoft support and they were great we ran through a few tests to see if we could get it up and running to no dice. So they gave me the option of getting the cardboard coffin, or an electronic slip. I took the slip so I could ship it back sooner as with the warranty Microsoft is taking care of all of the shipping.
Microsoft apologized multiple times and said for the hassle I would be getting a 3 month xbox live subscription wich is pretty cool since my 1 year is up in about 2 months, and then i’ll active the free 3 =).
I will be writing as I recieve updates on this story as this is much disputed experience when you search through what everyone has to say.
