Funny thing over the weekend happened. I was playing Gun for the 360 on my father's console and the game was freezing. After a period of time It progressively got worse and eventually went into flashing three rings of death.

After my father's 360 announced, in sign language using flashing red lights, that it no longer wanted to perform it's royal duties in the palace of Tony-san, I decided to call customer service. I explained my problem and found out the official term for my situation is flashing three rings of light which I found to hold some level of irony.

They mentioned they would send me my shipping label to me and fix it then the great Tony empire would continue to thrive as usual. My impatience was wearing on me though --sidethought: How can you wear impatience?-- so I decided to see if my 360 would work. I mean really... it had time to rest and I think it was just trying to get out of its duties as royal console of the household. It's a lot of pressure, ya know?

--For those of you wondering, I did not send in my 360 to get repaired in hopes that they would issue an extended warranty for the [Disc Read Error] so I wouldn't have to pay for faulty hardware.--

I finally hooked up my 360 and placed Gun into the disc tray and powered that bitch up. Lo and behold, it worked.

My first thoughts were of excitement but then as I had time to mull over it my resolve transitioned to anger. I came to the realization that my 360 tricked me.

That little bastard was playing me for a fool. This whole time I thought I held a special place in its heart.

Edit: Here is what happened to the first one just so you can remember the travesty (sp?) or for those that have not seen it can take in the seriousness of this issue.
