Unfortunately, it has come to this. I have received the dreaded 3 red lights of death and have come to the conclusion that I have to get it repaired/replaced, whichever one occurs.

I am really upset about this because in just 5 days time, a game I have been very much anticipating ever since I first saw it over a year ago will be with me by post and unfortunately I won't be able to play it or maybe perhaps I could. You see, the thing is, I encountered the RLOD last Wednesday and caught me by surprise since it was just so unexpected and tried the towel technique I seen before and it worked again. Then last night, it happened again and I switched it off and unplugged the cables etc for about 10 mins and connected them again and it worked and played some COD 4 MP with the usual guys. Now for the third time, it has happened and just decided enough is enough and will just have to call up Microsoft and send it onwards.

So, while some of you guys are playing and possibly enjoying Mass Effect, think of me since I probably won't get to experience it for a good 3-4 weeks or less if I am lucky, especially when it is coming towards the Christmas season and post will be slower then. At least I have a few other games to tie down mainly Galaxy even though I will have it done soon (going for all the stars and around a quarter there).

My 2nd 360 served me well these past 18 months and at least I got to play some great games this year like The Darkness, Biohock, Eternal Sonata, Dirt amongst others on it before it bit the dust. So goodbye my 360, we got to be such close friends.
