Thankfully you can order a repair on XBox.com now, at least in the USA, and avoid dealing with MAX on the support line and the Russian Roulette of outsourced call center employees of varying accents and competencies. The disc drive on my original console, purchased November 2006, refused to read discs in July 2007. I was lucky enough to get a refurbished box back in time for BioShock last year. This time I don't think my timing is going to be so great. I'm going to miss the launch of Castle Crashers and Mercs 2. Bummer. Hopefully people won't be tired of them when I finally get back on Live.
This will give me an opportunity to play some of the PS2 games which I own, but never got around to playing again. Last year I went through Shadow of the Colossus, God of War and Sly Cooper 2 in the month it took to get a 360 back. This time I can play Okami, Kingdom Hearts 2, Jak 3 or GTA: San Andreas so I have plenty to keep me busy. I also should probably be studying for the CPA exam......
Pour one out for another dead console....RIP 360 #2: 8/7/07-8/24/08
