take a shower, brush my teeth, do all that hygeine stuff, go out and walk the dogs. When I come back I decide I'll help myself to a healthy dosage of PSU. I turn on my television, set my sound systems to my preffered volume, hit the Xbox360 power button. BAM! Three motherfucking red flashing lights! I'm still kind of tired, so I wasn't effected at the moment, I calmly turn it off unplug everything, plug it back, and turn it back on. Same thing. That's fine, so now I take off my harddrive and try again, same thing. I decide to take my 360 into the living room and try there. Same thing.

Still feeling unaffected I call Microsoft support and have about a 30 minute conversation with some French sounding representative (this is where I started to get pissed) she walks me through the procedures that I've already tried and finally we come to the conlcusion that I'd have to send it in. (Which I already knew I would have to do in the first place.)

So, now I guess I'll wait a week for this flimsy box to come in and send my dead 360 off to McAllen, Texas. I'm in Louisiana and right on the border so it shouldn't take too long to get it back, I hope.

God, I want to play PSU..

I've heard of people doing that, too--with PS2's, though. I always wondered it if really worked, because I've never tried to return something to Walmart (not sure on how leaniant most of them are on that). I'd probably chicken out at the last second, drop the box, and run away in a Napoleon Dynamite-esque awkward moment for the ages. And lose my video game in the process, haha.

Generlly i've only seen stuff like that happen with microsoft and sony products.
They never get it right the first time.
examples:
PS2s at first only read the blue disks.
Xboxes were fire hazards.

But nintendo messing up i dont think i've even heard of that happening. I threw my gamecube and it still works. What a let down. poor Wii.
