So with any luck today is the day my 360 will be back from Bill Gates magical repair factory in Frankfurt. From the moment the console left my hands the process has so far taken 9 days. Not bad I suppose, plus I was still covered under the RRoD warranty.

The question is whether I will get a replacement console that's been modded to prevent RRoD from happening again. Going by this article I still had one of the faulty boards (that itself was a replacement for a previous RRoD), it ran at 16 amps rather than the 14 for the Falcon motherboard or 12 for the Jasper. Fingers crossed I'll get at least a 14 amp-er today.

Hell, that's if it even turns up today, otherwise I'm blah blahing away on here for nothing.
