Damn.
That's all I have the ability to say right now. Damn.
About a week ago my xbox randomly started being wierd... I got the 3 lights and so I turned it off. The room was really warm; I'd been playing for a while and I had a heater on in the corner with no windows or doors open. I thought maybe it had just fried out and overheated.
Anyway, I turned it off, came back in an hour or so and hit the button to try again. It worked, no problems.
Then last night I was trying the VGA cable to my monitor from the xbox.
After about 2 hours it turned off and I got the lights again. I didn't think much of it since I was surprised it worked on the monitor at all. I just figured it got the point where it realised it doesn't support it and shouldn't be working... :P
Back into the TV it went and all seemed fine again. I played for a while and went to bed without a worry.
I play a bit today, head off to work and come back looking forward to beating the mustache right off Triple H's face in SvR'07. I press the big button. The xbox powers up but it's more quiet than it should be. I don't hear the fan. After a few seconds the lights come on... only problem is they're red and only 3 are lit.
I kept trying for the good part of an hour. Nothing.
Damn.
I'm gonna try returning it tomorrow. Hopefully something will come of it and I won't have to buy a new one.
I'm not bitter about it though.
Anytime I heard about someone who's Xbox broke and they complain and cry about "STUPID M$!!!1!" I just thought, "Hah, mine works. I love it."
Only difference now is "Damn. It broke. I still love it. FIX IT, PLEASE!" (note: that was the point I broke down and cried... let's not talk about that though...).
I just hope I don't have to wait long before I can play again. Now all I got is a gamecube and my ps2 and that is like having a ferrari and switching back to an old school toyota.
EDIT:
Hah... 24 hours later and I am sitting with a new xbox. I guess I got lucky since the warrenty was up today.
Ah... I love my xbox. :)
