3 times is NOT the charm

Some of you may be aware that I have been the unlucky candidate of the Red Ring of Death, not once, not twice but three times. Well how lucky am I, I got it again. Yep, my son called me this evening and gave me the news. The 'new' 360', number three, that M$ sent me, the one with the cooler running chip and all just to a nap. I have the Elite with me at work so I'm covered, but come on for Pete's sake, four frigging times! Is this a record? Am I the proud new owner of some grand prize for putting up with the BS? Cause the humor left the building with Elvis on the first two I sent back! So come Tuesday this week I got some choice words for customer support, tho not much good ranting and raving will do, it will make me feel better to get it out of my system. Great times guys, gotta love it.

I just don't understand why people keep buying 360's? It's defective. They haven't fixed anything. The Elite succumb to the RRoD too. I have a 360, but if it Red Rings on me one more time, it's "adios" M$ and hello Sony.

I don't really know where everyone keeps there 360, or if it's the non-stop use a boy will put on a machine coupled with unreliabilty issues, but I've had mine for 2 years with no issues. But I don't put it into a entertainment center, use it on the carpet or for any time periods longer than 5-6 hours. My nephews tried to use my 360 over the holidays while it was sitting on the carpet, and I damn near blew a gasket.
