Ring of Death – Day 1
by Marcus on May 18, 2007
My Xbox 360 is busted, it just started off as freezes once in a while, but now I get the dreaded Ring of Death when I try to turn it on. So, today my experience with Microsofts’ Customer Support started, it’ll hopefully be a quick and smooth ride. Apparently this is what happens when you need to return your Xbox 360 for repair:
Microsoft either sends or e-mails you a bunch of labels (I chose to get mine e-mailed, still waiting for it).
Then you pack your console in a box (just the console, no wires, no harddisk, yay for keeping settings and savegames) and tape the labels on it.
You’ll also receive a phone number for UPS, you call them and set a date for them to come and get the console.
15 work days after they pick it up, you’ll receive your console again, if you haven’t received it you can call the Customer Support again to whine… and stuff.

Thanks, but it’s okay, I had to send it in at some point anyway because I got weird ‘Disc Unreadable’ errors once in a while.

No, it hasn’t got anything to do with ventilation. :)

That sucks man. The 360 has some serious problems when it comes to reliability. But hey then you can enjoy yourself with your Wii… eh.. no games for that console atm :(

Maybe I should complete Resident Evil 4 while the 360 is away. :)

No, just didn’t feel like playing. I’m at the castle, been playing a bit today though.

Duuuuude why did you even get a 360 when your not done with RE4 :P?
I’m actually thinking about getting it for the Wii too :D

Sure is a must-have. :) With the Wii-version it looks like there will finally be a game that uses the graphics engine to its fullest potential. I’m getting the Resident Evil Outbreak fps-arcade-thingy as well, looks like a lot of fun.
