just off my big post of ‘look at all the good news i’ve got, boy my life is great!’, my (luckily) less-than-90-day-old xbox 360 gave me the dreaded RING OF DEATH.

apparently this problem has been pretty prevalent, which is a shame because it’s a really fun piece of hardware, whose reputation is now tarnished with this major inconvenience. like i said, i’m lucky i’m within my warranty period and get a free repair & shipping ticket, but all the same it’s pretty sad i’ll have to go without my friendly white game box for something like 3 weeks.

looks like i’ll have to spend this weekend doing lame stuff like reading or going outdoors or having conversations with friends. UGH.
