Moving On
Days after the death of my refurbished Xbox 360, Furby, I'm collecting the life insurence policy.
No tears. All business.
OK, so Wrecklaimer and I are entitled to a free, refurbished Xbox 360 under the Red Ring warranty. So we're sending the carcass of Furby out as soon as possible. While we wait, we're going to buy a new one, possibly an Elite.
When we get the refurb (no telling how long that'll take), we'll package it with our old 120gb harddrive and sell it to a friend. The math is: spend $300 on a new console. Sell refurb for $200. Net loss: $100.
I'm still pissed that Microsoft makes such a defective product. However, I do like the Xbox 360 and I already have a ton of games for it. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of throwing in "Batman: Arkham Asylum" with the refurb purchase so the guy has a game to play. Maybe mark up the price by $20?

All I want for X-Mas...
...is a PlayStation 3, because I am so tired of Microsoft's ticking time bomb of a console.
I just got the Red Rings of Death today. Two days after the warranty on my refurbished console expired.
I will be placing some phone calls... and emails, and letters to Microsoft. If I can't get a new console for free (or one helluva discount on an Elite) I'm gonna "lodge" my complaint up the backside of somebody at Microsoft.
