Shared on Wed, 04/18/2007 - 23:06For my clan members that haven't seen too much of me online in the last couple of weeks, I have been busy getting ready for the new baby. My wife is scheduled for a c-section Friday morning. I took off work starting tomorrow so I was planning on getting in as much Rainbow Six Vegas (new maps) tonight and tomorrow as possible. I got to play for 15 minutes.......
Before leaving for work this morning, I downloaded the new Rainbow Six maps. Came home and fired up the xbox. I kept getting some weird artifacts on the screens on a couple of the maps and it was really hard to see.
I rebooted and I get the same thing only on a few maps.
So I go online and search google to see if anyone else is seeing this type of issue. Nothing to be found. I boot back up and now I get the issue on Any HD content, videos, games, everything but the dashboard. I had an extra HD cable so for shits and grins I try it. Same thing. I try the second composite port on my TV same thing.
I turn the unit off for an hour or two and grab dinner. Turn it back on and.....Red Fucking Light
I call MS and they are going to repair for free (which suprised me because I purchased it on 1/1/06, I remember the date because I was at Walmart at 6am when they opened)
I really wanted to play tonight and tomorrow because I won't have time for the next few weeks (which at least makes this a perfect time to send in for repair).
Oh well. I will have a much better time introducing my 21 month old to her new baby sister anyway.
