Yeah, so my X360 stopped working last night. And before anyone starts grumbling about shoddy design and ticking time bombs... no, it wasn't the RROD. Never had any problems like that.

You see, I kinda dropped the console.

On the floor.

From a height of roughly five feet.

It rattles now and won't turn on.

Aw damn.

Good news is, I packed it all up this morning, whisked it away to Game, used my womanly wiles on the poor, defenceless sales assistant and got a brand new unit out of it. Score.

It's not quite a year old yet so technically it was still under retailer warranty. But I didn't have a receipt (since it was a pressie from my brother) so I was forced to dust off my extra-special 'poor, innocent me' look. It still works ;)

Alas, now I have the fun and games of trying to get all my downloads etc. working on a new machine. I remember hearing something about a tool MS had released to make all this kerfuffle easier... or is that just wishful thinking?
