Burning ring of fire remix dub edit

Far be it from me to write something but.

When I said that my XBox 360 has recovered from its bout of ring of deathiness I spoke too soon. The next day the 3 red flashing lights re-appeared and this time it was permanent.

Thankfully the XBox repair site worked this time and it was pretty easy to instigate a repair. Thing is, you get sod all instructions. They send you an email with one of those address labels with bar codes and what not all over it (no idea what you do if you haven’t a printer) and information on finding a UPS depot (or the number to arrange a pick up). They give no information at all regarding packaging.

Turns out that unlike in the USA microsoft don’t provide a shipping parcel for fucked XBoxes in the UK. I had to trowl the XBox forums to work out what I was supposed to do. It’s ridiculous, there are tons of people on there confused about whether or not to wait for a box to put it in, including some who had waited weeks for nothing.

Microsoft also don’t tell you whether or not you’re supposed to send the whole kit or just the main unit, the forum people’s consensus is that you should send just the unit and even keep the hard drive. So that’s what I’ve done.

Dropped the package at the UPS depot rather than be stuck listening for the door for a pick up dude.  Took an age to figure out how to get into the business park.  Crazy place.

Anyway, does anyone read this blog?
