I turned my 360 on this morning, for a quick game of virtual pinball, before leaving for work. I unlocked an achievement and then, it died.
A brief, piercing screech emanated from my television's speakers, the image froze and it appeared as if a transparent checkerboard had been placed over the entire screen. I rebooted the system and found the dreaded ring of red had replaced my cheerful green. Ringu! This is the second time my 360 has expired.
The first time it happened, I was crushed. This time, the words "Bite me." describe how I feel. I've just gotten home from work and I have yet to contact customer service. I hope that it is in some way, shape or form, still under warranty. Although, a black 360 would be nice.
