Here is a {link} for the repair process.
How old is old?
I'm pretty sure Zachary has had that xbox for about 3 years...
Well, we got him a LIVE account, so I assume the xbox is "registered"...
I'll just have to call them and see.
Thanks Klirshon! You may have saved me my wife some loots!

So I get a nice bonus check from work.
Immediately the wife has plans for the money.
Do you think I could get one (1) wargame with all that money?
No. She already has it all spent on Christmas, she says.
My oldest boys xbox caught the red ring of death, or whatever the hell he called it. So he says it's toast. So we gotta get him a new one for Xmas, and I hear those things aren't cheap.
In the meantime, he is reduced to playing his playstation.
and if you think they aint cheep then maybe i should tell ya that the consuls are sold at a loss so that they are cheap enough for people to buy. The extra cost is thrown into the games. Ever wonder why every game for a consul costs an arm and a leg?

Yeah, I've heard that.
And I've also heard that the red ring of death is caused by cheap heat sinks they knew wouldn't work well.

Cheap heat sinks in combination with pisspoor airflow. They could have gotten away with the cheap heatsinks if they'd had anyone smarter than a monkey design the case.

Yeah painting those things is a major pain in the ass, thats why anymore Ive been going with those cheap plastic WotC minis, and by cheap I mean cheaply made, not that theyre actually cheap, they want like a 100 bucks for Orcus!!! Granted he is like a foot tall, but still.
Once you get decent at it, it's much less trouble. And yes, the WotC minis are ludicrously overpriced for what you get.

Is this just a public service announcement or did you actually mod something and delete posts?

ALL WotC products are over-priced for what you get.
That's why I no longer buy anything by WotC... or HASBRO for that matter.

Well they have put out a few things that I thought were worth it, That new Forgotten Realms book is worth it, if youre into the Realms, theres some half-way decent stuff theyve put out recently, of course my definition of half-way decent and yours are probably not the same.
Im gonna shut up now before people think Im kissing ass. But seriously that Realms book is good, if theyd do more stuff like that (more focus on lore and fluff instead of having to add a buhzillion new powers and feats and what not) they might be on to something.

Yeah, but then people would cry that their character can't do x, y, and z, so they are underpowered blah blah blah blah E.
