I was big into computer/console games when I was in college. Once I entered my professional life, I kind of gave up on upgrading my computer every year just so that I can play the latest games. So, after years of inactivity, my little brother convinced me to buy an Xbox 360 console this past April. I did my research and read horror stories about the dreaded "Red Ring of Death". I thought to myself, what are my chances of getting a bummed console?
I bit the bullet and bought my first Xbox from the beloved Wal-Mart for instant gratification. 5 days into my gaming, just when I was getting used to the controller, the red lights lit up...I packed up my dead console and went back to the wally world and explained what had just happened. It felt like I had been cavity searched before they took the stupid thing back!
OK...not gonna get another one...not gonna do it...no way Jose...should I do it?...let me think about it...lightning doesn't hit the same spot twice...yeah, that makes sense...I should get another one...remember, it was fun!..OK...I got another one...from amazon.com this time.
Sure, I have been hooked on Halo ever since I first played it. I own the whole trilogy...and I love playing it. So, last night after the kids were in bed, it was Halo time baby!
NO IT WASN'T! My console locked up right when the Xbox logo came on the screen. None of the light came on...hmm...not a big deal...let's try again...this is ridiculous...I am seeing red...no, I am seeing the "Ring 'o Death!" OH CRAP!!!!
This is total bullcrap! Microsoft should have done a better job of getting its suppliers and materials right. If they were in such a competition to come out earlier than Sony, the least they could have done was to make sure that the console were made to last at least a year or two before Sony got its mojo going! Who dumps $400 (I know it's cheaper now) on a piece of hardware just so that it can go poof twice in less than a year?! I can't!
I am just glad that they covered the console, which I still happen to love, for 3 years! I am going to call Microsoft in the morning and hopefully get this resolved soon, by which I mean 2 months or more of course!

Iv been looking around the internet for some good quality scart cables so far they have either been really cheap and rubbish or expensive and good but I don’t want to be forking out loads of money every time I need a scart cable. I have ordered a few 1.5 metre scart cable for my projector to my xbox, its amazing
