You’ve gotta be joking

March 3rd, 2009

So I walked away from my Xbox 360 after spending a little time playing Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection tonight (in preparation for our Game Club in the next show!). Checked some email, checked some websites… When I came back to it, what did I see?

It was blinking along with the green power indicator. Luckily when I powered off and powered back on it came back up. Hopefully this is just a fluke. I’ve got about 2 weeks more in my Best Buy extended warranty on this particular system… Microsoft, you blew it. If this machine craps out that’s RRoD #3. At least I have a backup ready to go! :)

And yeah I have a Viva Pinata faceplate on. What of it, wanna fight about it?

    Wait…do you always run your 360 at the bottom of a stack like that? That can’t be good for it.

    I haven’t seen a mountain of hardware like that since the Genesis/Sega CD/32X combo.

    Always carry a spare.

    Having said that. Please tell me you play your xbox with a stack of stuff on top.

    That sucks! Someone put a Viva Pinata faceplate on your Xbox 360 when you wern’t looking!

    No, I had it like that because I was setting up the other 360 to go in another room (without Internetzz).

    I got the Viva Pinata face plate as well. Cost me a whole dollar.
