The Death of an Xbox 360
A girl gamer named Gina is using her 1UP.com blog to document the process of getting her Xbox 360 repaired. Gina got the infamous red lights of death on her console, and had to call Microsoft tech support. Fro those not in the know, red lights on your 360 usually means hardware failure.
She wasn't particularly pleased with the low priority response she got, which involved sending the console back for repair, which could take weeks, so she decided to keep a running blog of her tech support experiences so anyone else who ran into a problem with their Xbox 360 would know what to expect.
Currently up to Day 7, she says she expects her system back today, which is a pretty decent turnaround, all things considered. Check out her blog to get the latest scoop.
