On the eve of Guitar Hero III launch, our XBox 360 console crashed. The infamous Red Ring-of-Death!
Hopefully the warrantied repair won't take too long... and, heres to also hoping I'll make away with a slightly newer unit (the ones w/ an HDMI connector that came out right after we got ours).
Sorry Salem, no more bedtime Bomberman. Jeff, your fictional Astros race for the pennant will have to be put on hold.
Sniff... sniff... XBOX we barely knew you.
Updated to add (10/29/2007): Received the box to ship the Xbrick360 in for repairs. Curiously, the informational sheet included inside instructs you to use the "pressure-sensitive tape" (included in the package) to re-seal the box for return.
Pressure-sensitive, meaning, tape that sticks when you apply pressure... as opposed to tape you have to lick first?
