Looks like my Xbox 360 has finally decided to pack in at the grand old age of 18 months.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had this kind of problem, oh no, I’ve been having freezes for a few weeks now and I even rang Microsoft last week to report them. I was helpfully told then that a simple restore would cure the problem.

My arse.

I’ve worked in the IT support game long enough to know that the first thing on tech support’s mind, when handling a call, is to get rid of that call. This isn’t my idea of customer service by the way, I’m much more thorough, however my English speaking chum possibly wasn’t.

This time though it looks serious, I even had three red lights earlier tonight. I guess that means I’m fucked really.

The upshot of all this is, that tomorrow, I’m going to have to call Microsoft to try and get them to help me get my ’360 fixed. God alone knows how much that is going to cost me.

Be warned though Microsoft I’ve got a PlayStation 3 now, and I’m not quite as impressed by your machine as I used to be.

Hah! Listen to me, as if Microsoft gives a flying fuck about me!
