During the 16 months I knew my best friend, he was in perfect health. There were no warning signs. In fact, we interacted on the night of the 29th and everything was fine.

But by this afternoon he was dead.

Tonight, I am in mourning for my Xbox. It looks like Yeah_Write will get a reprieve from our little gamerscore competition since I won't be able to get any achievements for a while anyway.

No, it's not the red ring of death, though I half wish it was since then it would at least be covered by the 3 year warranty. No, it's the 'unplayable disc' error. No matter what disc I put in, the Xbox can't read it.

So maybe 360 isn't dead, maybe someone out there knows how to fix him. So if you do, could you please help me?

Edit: For those of you who haven't figured it out, no person I know died on April 30th. I was referring to my Xbox.
