RED RING OF SHITBAGGETRY!!!!! |
|
|
So today, after getting off early from work, I decide to turn on my 360 and slaughter some ancient Japanese soldiers. However, when I go to turn on the console, instead of the glorious Xbox 360 logo showing up after the usual 3-second delay on my HD channel, I find myself waiting 12 seconds, only to look on the side towards my console and see...
...
THE RED RING OF DEEEEEAAAAATTTTHHHH!!!!!
So immediately, I turn off the console, turn it back on to eject the disc inside. Disc comes out, but again...
THE RED RING OF DEEEEEAAAAATTTTHHHH!!!!!
Tried it another 5 times, ALL FAILED!!!!
So I got pissed off, but remembered I still have the warranty and my receipt. So Idle and myself decide to go try and get it replaced.
Get to Best Buy, and right away, bad news.
"We switched our return/exchange policies since last year. Now you have to go online and fill something out, then send it off."
Yeah, um... what?! NEW POLICY??? WHAT IS THIS SHIT??? Why wasn't I informed that there was a new fucking policy for exchanges? I paid an extra $80 for the warranty just to have the policy change on me 3 months after I buy it and 5 more until it BREAKS???
If you're wondering, this bullshit started last Saturday when the electricity in my place caught a case of the hiccups. It happened sometime during a Halo session with Tails, Daravon, Omagnus, etc. (sorry, it was 4 days ago, and I drank about 8 shots of expresso in a frapp and a vanilla coke, so I do apologize if I forgot anyone). The console was the first thing to shut off and on, and when the hiccups went away, red lights emerged from the console.
Until today, that console never showed me anymore red rings when in use, so why the FUCK today??
Somehow, I feel cheated out of the warranty fee I paid. Microsoft could probably fix it better than they could, or maybe even fucking send me a new one, I don't fucking know.
In somewhat happier news, my Kamelot: A Cold Winter's Night DVD came in, so I expect to be watching a brilliant performance tomorrow.
