I swear I have the worst luck sometimes. It's almost comical. On Black Friday, I came very close to buying the 360 holiday bundle for $200, but decided to pass since my old Xbox is still running. Now I begin the week of my holiday vacation, the one week of the year where I have lots of time for gaming, and of course, my Xbox does the red ring crap on me.
Here's the weird thing. It's done this before, and I would unplug the power brick over and over, and eventually it would start working and keep working for weeks or months. This time though my trick failed. I took it to a game store ,and they tried a different brick. It still lit up red and would not power on. I tried it again at home, and this time, I got a cloud of smoke and fast flashing lights. It was toast. Or so I thought.
I tried it one more time an hour later, and was shocked that it booted up and has been running every since. WTF. Well this week, Best Buy has the 250 gig holiday bundle with Skyrim and Forza and $25 GF for $250. STill not as good as BF, but I fear it I wait, the console will jump back to $300.
I refuse to dump another $300 on Xbox. I paid over $400 for my Xbox back in 2008, and it brought after just one year and light use. It's outrageous that we have to put up with such crappy hardware.
OTOH, I have a huge 360 backlog. Over 100 games. I can't let all those games go to waste. What would you do in my situation?
