Blech. Why does this happen EVERY TIME I get time off school? Seriously, nothing like this ever goes wrong during the week in termtime...

Now, from my previous posts, you might notice that I have been doing, and completed, my GCSE exams. And now that they're over I'm FINALLY allowed to get Xbox Live and Oblivion,both of which i've been waiting for scince I pretty much got my 360 (yeah, getting it a month before the exams was kinda dumb, but it was stupidly cheap due to it being preowned, so I jumped on it.)

...But thats the problem. Its preowned. Which means that there must be SOMETHING wrong with it, and recently i found out what.

it chews up any discs you put in there. My Gears of War disc kept getting that "disc cannot be read" error, but because it came with the 360 I just assumed that it was a glitchy disc, on account of it being preowned. But i buy a brand new Oblivion disc on Sunday, play it for most of the rest of the day and for a little bit of monday, shut down my console for the night. Now todays Wednesday, and im getting that f***ing "Disc Cannot be Read" Error and when I look at the bottom of the disc, its got curved scratches in it, as if they were made while the disc was spinning. So thats 40 quid down the drain, because I got it as part of a bundle offer (the other half of which, a startreck game, was complete crap) and GAME dont accept ANY returns once the seal is broken on the case, so im left with a £40 reflective disc.

But thats not the worst of it. Oh no. I take the disc out, polish it up, put it back in its case and shut down my 360 to let it cool down,because maybe it will like the disc again a little later. I fire it up 10 minuites later... and i get the Red Ring Of Death

Oh HELL no! My 360 is now DEAD. Useless. and, heres the fun part: its preowned, so I CANT GET IT REPAIRED! Im going to have to buy a frikken new one! So Bye-Bye Xbox live, because theres no way in hell im shelling out money on a new frikken xbox when its most likley gonna just die on me.

Sorry for the rant, guys.. but literally 2 days into my summer holidays and my 360 craps out... bad stuff like this allways happens to me during my holidays ;.;
