Well it was a sad day for me on Friday. I came home from work, all excited and thinking about all the great Xbox360 gaming i was gunna do. Play some SKATE, have some friends over for some Halo 3, maybe even play some DOA4.

So i come home, after a long arse day at work, no one is there yet, think "well i might as well play some SKATE to wind down" So i saunter over to my Xbox controller, press the magic X and.......DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUUU!!!!! Yes my Friends and fellow gaming connoisseurs......The Fabled RED RING OF DEATH!!!!!!! Needless to say, i was just slightly perturbed.

Once i had regained my composure, i dialed up to my friendly neighbourhood Microsoft customer service center, waded through there little process, and preceded to explain my situation. They were very understanding (he said it happens so much they are almost not even checking them anymore, just shipping out new ones). He explained that i would be receiving a package sometime within the next couple of days, and i would insert my Xbox Only into the package and send it back to them via the famous "Purolator Guy". He also explained that when they receive it, they will double check, and if it is in fact......the RED RING OF DEATH *gasp* they will ship me out a new one. He said i am looking at about 2-3 weeks turn around time (thank god i live close to MS) and that due to the occurring issues, they will be sending me a 3 month Free Xbox Live Gold card along with it as well.

So now we wait.....i will keep you guys posted as to how it goes.. For now, OMG what POS system Microsoft has on there hands. I will definitely NOT be recommending them to anyone until they get this sorted out great games or not.
