Well, that's the bad news I guess.  I got the 360 when it first launched in Nov of 05 & it died after 1 week.  I was lucky enough to get a brand new one in December of 05 & that one was running strong until today.  The dreaded E74 hardware failure yet again!!!

The good news is, I'm not gonna run to the 360 forums & create a thread about it.  Everyone seems to think that everyone else needs to hear all about it in the forums when their 360 craps out on them, but I don't.  I'll just keep it here where few if any will see it, but I can still feel like I vented about it.

Oh well, at least now I can get more quality time with my PS3 what with Motorstorm coming out this week.  Here's hoping MS doesn't leave me hanging on a replacement unit for too long though, because my patience is wearing a bit thin with the system quality at this point & I was really looking forward to playing Ghost Recon 2 & Def Jam Icon on my 360 this week, (I'll just pick up DJ:Icon for my PS3 instead since it actually works).

So glad I got the 2 year extended warranty with my 360.  Here's hoping that all your 360's live LONG & healthy lives because the defective issues are a buzzkill to be sure.
