Microsoft Done Right?

Well, I got another Xbox back...and it's curious. It's NOT a 3-year-old piece of shit this time. Actually, the manufacture date is 4-18-2008, meaning that i may have gotten a new xbox (or just someone's lemon). We'll see if this one lasts; I play to put it to the test.

And It's OFF!

Xbox #3 is out the door. Here's the interesting thing this time: Xbox has asked for the power cord and power unit to be shipped w/ the core unit. It seems that they may be replacing those as well. I've read online that people have long suspected the power brick being faulty...looks like that speculation may be true.

Strike of the 3RRoD again!

It's happened again. Tonight I was playing a little Mass Effect, and the game froze. I went to restart the console and I got the 3 red rings. Crap. Back to Microsoft you go.

This is my 3rd xbox in 9 months. Pathetic if you ask me. This xbox was made in 10-2005 (note: 2 months OLDER than the 1st piece of crap that a received). Again, I bought my original xbox in December 2006. I'm tired of xbox sending me this old, clearly flawed pieces of shit. It's not like I'm up every night playing for hours on end. I might play an hour or two a week...surely the console should be able to handle that?

Here's the best part: I'm now a Microsoft Xbox 360 frequent flier. Because this is my 3rd repair, they are using "expedited" shipping for me. Wow, thanks. How bout sending back an xbox elite...or is that for my 10th repair???
