Well, the inevitable has happened. After years of faithful service, my xbox 360 gave up the ghost and got the ever so (in)famous Red Ring of Death last night. What a bummer! You know I'm kind of angry, but I guess at some point it's to be expected with all the issues these consoles have had.
But the reason I'm not extraordinarily angry is that the manufacture date on this console is November 1, 2005!!! My wife bought it for Christmas for me through Dell (of all places) the first month that the 360 was released and I opened it and put it in service on Christmas Day 2005. Since the 360 wasn't released publicly until November 22, 2005, this means I had one of the first ever made. Too bad I can't keep it for historical purposes, but at least I have pictoral evidence!!
So, I wonder if I have one of the longest lasting original XBOX 360's out there??
Anyway, I now bid adieu to my 360 and await my new one (hopefully they send me one with the newer chipset and quieter fans!). See everyone online in 10-15 days, which is the time they quoted to me that it will take to get my new box.
