It’s just over three years ago now that I first experience the Red-Ring-of-Death on my Xbox 360. I blogged about it on what was then my Microsoft blog on the b5media network and got some attention from Jane Wells of CNBC. I was eventually interviewed and featured on the CNBC coverage for my experiences as it was the big topic of discussion back then. The media attention has now died down, but my Xbox 360 just gave me the red lights again for the holidays.
My son went to fire up the Xbox to play a game and noticed the red lights come on. I didn’t worry too much about it at that point because he plays the Nintendo Wii more now than the Xbox. However, both kids wanted to get the new Xbox Kinnect bar with some of their Christmas money and now that wouldn’t make too much sense.
Trying to see if Microsoft will still do repairs for this issue or not. Let’s see what my experiences will be this time.
