It was only a matter of timeFriday, May 9. 2008Sat down last night to play a little PGR4 before deciding whether to trade it in to GameFly.
Well, that answers that. Guess it also decides for me which version of GTA IV I’ll get with the gift card I received the other day. I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner. I wonder if there’s some time frame within which I have to call and have them send out the box to get it repaired? Maybe I should wait until after I’m back from vacation. No tasty treats to report about today either. I got home and just had enough time to heat left-overs before I had to record a new episode of Witty Ranter. Then after I got showered and settled in for the night, I had a few minutes to play PGR4 – or not, as it happened – then had to study French, write this post, and work more on this week’s drawing, which I already spent an hour and a half on while recording the podcast. Hopefully I’ll be able to put something tasty together tonight and post about it tomorrow, but who knows at this point. I’m out of leftovers, so I don’t have much choice. As I write this – before I start working on it some more – I’ve already spent six and a half hours on this drawing. And it’s not the end-all-be-all it ought to be. I think I’ll be lucky if I finish it in under ten hours. This is exactly what I want to never do again. Shit shouldn’t take this long. And I still haven’t gotten to play any LOTRO yet, so I’ve missed nearly the entire first free day. I’d just like to say, on behalf of me, fuck this week. Comments
“I wonder if there’s some time frame within which I have to call and have them send out the box to get it repaired? Maybe I should wait until after I’m back from vacation.” You can go to xbox.com and under support there is a link for repair status. From there you can link a console to your gamerid. That will tell you if its in warranty or not. Or you could always call them. My console is in for it’s 2nd repair. The brick went another time. It takes about a month from the first call to when you finally get your exact same machine back with the same launch day overheating defect. Well, they did extend the warranty of RRoDed boxes to three years so he should be able get it returned no problem. Haven’t had my 360 RRoD on me yet, and I’ve owned it for almost 2 years now. The moment my 360 dies and I’m out of warranty, it’s PS3 time. I don’t even care about the lack of PS2 backwards compatibility (yay for Europe). PS3s looking increasingly tempting, although I can’t really justify owning 2 consoles…especially since most games on the 360 and the PS3 are the same things. Yeah, it’s just a matter of calling them or whatever I need to do to get them to send out a coffin. I’m just wondering aloud whether I should do it now, or wait so that I’ll be around when it comes back. In a way, I almost wish it weren’t under warranty so I could just toss the bugger, in the spirit of less-is-more and all that. “It takes about a month from the first call to when you finally get your exact same machine back with the same launch day overheating defect.” :) I don’t have a 360 myself. So that photo do not tell me much. From the comments I gather it’s a heating malfunction. Am I right, and whats the cause? Looks like the infamous Red Ring of Death, although an incomplete one. |
