Second Life

Okay, so my Xbox 360 finally crapped itself, and it's about damn time.
No, it wasn't the ye olde ring of death but my video output was totally tripping out before giving out entirely. Observe:
The end was nigh, and my life with the Xbox 360 flashed before my eyes...
Playing Gears Of War in 1080p for the first time...
Buying my first XBLA title, Pac-Man Championship Edition...
Unlocking 1000G in Burnout Paradise, and 200G in Uno, which were my first retail and arcade games with all achievements unlocked...
And then... what?
IT FIXED ITSELF SOMEHOW!
I don't know why, but all of a sudden it works fine again. I had talked to "Jim" from India for nothing, because everything is rocknrolla again. I guess all's well that ends well. This experience was not aimless though; I did learn a few things. It's harder than it seems to force the Red Ring Of Death, and I learned how to remove the faceplate.
I was meant to miss the release of the Halo Wars demo and the Burnout Paradise DLC, but a 360 death at this point would still have been in good timing. My Guitar Hero: World Tour drum kit is out for replacement anyway, so what better time to be without the box? Besides, the backup plan wasn't really going to cut it...
The things we say in desperation.
elektrixxx.
