    "Finally!"

    Sounds weird, right? But my disc drive was shit so I was just waiting for it to Red Ring so I could get it fixed, took like 10 months though. But yeah, I was actually glad, except I had just bought Viva Pinata.

    I had read about it happening before it actually happened. I was a bit bummed but the whole warranty thing calmed me down. The second time it happened though, they tried to get me to pay for the repairs. A couple of transfers and angry yells (from me that is) later and they fixed it up for free. I hate to think what would happen if I get a third red ring (for both my sake and whosoever is lucky enough to answer my call.)

    Also I forgot to mention, but mine got repaired SUPER fast. A day after I got an email saying the repair centre had received my box, I got another email saying it was fixed and on its way back, which took about 4 days to ship. The actual repair process took all of a day, but I was without my box for probably 2 weeks.

    My first thought?

    "Holy hell I have two days of the extended warranty left!"

    Mine was fixed and returned to me within a week though.  That was badass.

    Glad I bought a Wii. Poor suckers who bought those Mircrosoft systems. Then as the Wii's games declined and I was more eager to buy a 360, I was like, "Hope that doesn't happen to me..."

    It was the first day I bought mine. I just finished playing CoD4 and shut it off. In about 2 seconds it came on. I thought the system just shut off. You can imagine my anger when I tried to turn it on again.

    My first thought was "That 12 hour session of Halo 3 was so worth it".

    "YES...DAMN!"

    My disc drive was really messed up so i was glad I got a free repair, but I had just bought COD4 so I couldn't play it for a few weeks.

    This image below is of my setup below the TV, my thoughts are expressed ontop of each console. I got the Red Ring about a week ago, can't be stuffed to send it in yet, Duke Nukem 3D XBLA will probably be what makes me send it in. Oh yeah, and it's been a week and still haven't swapped the cables to plug in the Wii into the X360's AVs (only got 2 input points for my TV so have to swap between two of the consoles).

    In all honesty... My arms started making involuntary movments and I cried like a little girl... 3 weeks to the day it broke I had it back.  It was all in all a smooth experience.

    "it's about time" or something along those lines. I've always found it funny how people complained about getting the rrod and how I hadn't gotten it once in 2+ years. At first I really didn't care, but it didn't take long for me to miss it :(. Though I should be getting it back soon.

    I haven't got it yet (since christmas) but I imagine I'd be pissed off. However, I bought a warranty, so I can trade it in, in a flash with no issue at all.

    I was relieved, I first thought my tv was busted since there was no image... When I let it sink in, though, I was pissed. I didn't use my warranty thing, just bought a new one. Yeah, hardcore, I know.
