Day 3.300: Red Ring of Death

Red Ring of Death: RRoD 1  Microsoft Xbox 360

My faithful Xbox 360 has seen a lot of action - mostly, in the last few years, of the Rock Band variety. Alas, it has finally given up the bits and gone to the electronics recycling pile in the sky. In fact, it happened when we tried to get it fired up for Rock Band Night yesterday. Happily, unlike when we started the event, we have another one to call on as a substitute and the 'show' went on.

One of the disadvantages of it having survived a long time is that it is now out of even the extended warranty for this famous error. Of course that means that I have an excuse to replace it with its less error-prone, sleeker, quieter and wifi-enabled younger brother.

The rocking will go on, but for now, a moment's silence at the end of a busy day (that I plan to tell you about on Monday) for a valued member of the household:


[this is it!]


and, goodnight!

  1. Don't put it in the trash just yet, even a RROD XBox has value! Hope this works - http://tinyurl.com/23xrx8d
