When Red Ring of Death (RROD) Strikes Back…

A few weeks ago, my XBOX 360 succumbed to the forces of thermal inductance…and subsequently, it died.

I laughed, I cried, I played hours of video games on it, and now it was dead.

So, after mopping up the tears, I registered my 360 with XBOX.com, and submitted a repair request.

The whole thing was still under warranty, so I didn’t pay a dime. However, the whole process took a very long 3 weeks or so.

Happily, I can now report that even though my once-l33t-skills on Halo 3 have been hampered, I can continue my multi-player snipe sprees and get back to playing. Now with 1 month free gold xbox live membership, complements of Microsoft.

Woot!
