"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.
Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
What was your first thought when you saw the red ring?
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.
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..."
Mine happened the night before i set my new sony surround sound system and i just stared to laugh because there was no point getting all pissed off and plus it was my fault for reading Murphy's Law, LMAO
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.
