New Poll - Have you gotten the Red Ring of Death?

To me it seems the dreaded Red Ring of Death on the Xbox 360 comes in waves. I'll have several friends get it within a two week time period and then no one for a month or two. Then another wave of failures hits and a couple more friends are faced with the choice of waiting for their system to come back or buying a new one (and using their other one as a back up when it comes back). Vote and feel free to leave a comment here.

Red Ring of Death

Well, it finally happened. After two weeks of trying to fight it off my Xbox 360 succumbed to the Red Ring of Death. What I thought was just a router issue has turned into something worse.

I'm sure after the sadness has passed I'll look at what good might come out of this. Now I'll have more time to play some long forgotten original Xbox games along with my Playstation games. I might even have time for the Game Cube and other systems.

Only just a couple of days ago I had started to consider buying a 2nd Xbox 360 for just this situation. I'll have to think a lot more about that. Unfortunately this comes at the same time as a discussion about a PS3 game. Folklore. From what I've heard it's a really good game. Enough to buy a PS3? I don't know. But I do know I can't buy both a PS3 and a replacement. And that's not counting the DS Lite and Wii that I had planned on buying before the end of the year.

I have decisions to make. But first I must deal with my grief.
