Default Muther Fudgin XBOX....

I'm done... i'm just done.

So the other day my brother comes downstairs and says "dude, your xbox is frozen." I laugh and say "i know... it hates you!" Seriously, my xbox has froze on me like once ever, but it freezes on him every other day. But he was like "no really... it died." FUCK! So i run upstairs and the damn thing isnt turning on. I'm pulling cords, and replacing them, messing with the button. Nothing. But i had to go to work anyway. So next day he comes down and is like, the xbox is turning on now... but it either freezes on the startup menu or a minute into the game. So i go back up to take a look at it. He shows me it freezing which are symptoms of hardware failure then..... POOF! Red Ring Of Death Now this is the THIRD time i've gotten the RROD.

So today I go to send a work order in on the damn thing, and i go through the whole process. Shoud be free, any system thats previously had the RROD has an extended 3 year warranty, and my last ring was last March!!!! I get down to the bottom and am ready to submit the order when i catch.... $94.00!!!! $94 fucking dollars to fix a faulty hardware system that Microsoft has admitted to having. A problem of Microsoft trying to cut corners and using cheap parts for their system. And a problem that i've had twice before! So i sent microsoft a nice little email saying that this type of business practice is outrageous, and that i'd like my system either fixed for free or replaced (have had friends get new systems). Or that i would be switching to a competing company for my business.....

I was most likely going to sell the damn thing to my brother to put toward my bike.... but it still pisses me off!
