I honestly can’t believe it.  I actually got a good laugh at it while I sat there turning my console on and off and on and off trying to fight what I was witnessing.  I was trying to convince myself that this wasn’t happening to me especially so close to the Halo 3 launch.  I was trying to close my eyes and file this away as just some bad, bad dream.  But alas, it was no dream.  And how fitting was it that only weeks prior I had changed my original faceplate to the Halo faceplate to prepare my console for Master Chief’s arrival.  Was the Spartan too much for my Xbox 360 to handle?

At approximately 9:35PM Central Standard Time, my Xbox 360 console suffered an untimely death.  It had come down with rings…red rings…red rings of death.  I was able to gather up 3 Medal of Honor Airborne Achievements before it fell ill.  I was out to get just one more Achievement before calling it a night but then it happened.  A strange noise followed by an interesting red ring display had come upon my console.  I was all too familiar with this display.  Although one unfamiliar with the 360 Laws (#24) might have called this a light show, I was smart enough to realize it meant the end.

It is with deep sorrow that I now pay this video tribute to one of my closest friends, the Xbox 360.  I hope soon that we shall play together again.  Although your demise was at the most inconvenient of times, I still love you.  I shall now see how effective the new warranty really is.

    I blame the EA game personally.

    Anyway, if this were to happen to me, I’d be buying a new system before I miss out on Halo 3 launch day.

    Good luck man, this is sad. :(

    I’d be using a credit card, anything.

    You’re an MVP though, I don’t see why MS can’t throw one your way.
