Burning ring of fire

Today I came back from walking eddie, all in a mood for a bit of forza when I had a nasty surprise.

Hey, it’s everyone’s favorite console friend, the ring of death. I was fuming! I really was cursing microsoft for being such a bunch of engineering cowboys.

Went to the xbox site to request a repair, had to register my xbox first (you’d think using it on xbox live would give them a clue), entering serial numbers is always fun, sigh. Anyway, got to the repair part and was given an almighty agreement to, well, agree to. Well I agreed as best I could but the xbox site was having none of it, threw an error in my face and told me to sod off to a phone.

At this stage I was ready to launch a boycott microsoft site, just ‘cos they are so shite at everything they do. Took a photo of the rings to email everyone I play with on there.

After all that, I tried the console once more just in case. Hey it worked! Soooo relieved, I had the impression that the moment you get the 3 red rings your xbox was toast. I guess it’s not quite so straight forward.

They can’t even get the 3 red rings right.
