so I got an XBox 360 today.
brought it home. did the whole 'move 500000 pound entertainment center crawl around in weird positions to get the component cords in the right places move the entertainment center back' thing. then finally unwrapped the XBox, plug in the power cord and component card, turn the tv to the appropriate input, and FINALLY, FINALLY push the power button.
TV screen stays blue. red lights around the power button.
WTF?
so I do a quick google search for "red lights xbox 360"
first link at microsoft support says 'return for repair'
FUCK.
pull out the entertainment center, contort myself to unplug all the components, put everything back in the box, drive all the way back across town, get new XBox. drive all the way back home, and by this time it's 5 o'clock rush hour. which the must oxymoronic term i've ever heard in my life.
repeat the whole thing over again. thankfully this one works.
quite well. I'm happy. THEN I decide to do the whole Pandora's battery thing for my PSP. I can't get it to work, find out you need windows XP (AAAHHHH BLAST YOU VISTA FOR THE 98736th TIME!) ok, no prob, use roomie's XP machine.
still not working. fuck. do more research. find out that the original sony 3.51 firmware i have installed isn't hackable yet...
FUCK.
anyway.
that was my day.
I'm gonna go grab somethin for dinner, then play XBox 360

Mine just failed yesterday after a year and half. Fucking sux with all the sweet games coming out soon; 2-5 weeks says the Indian man.
-------------------- So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

3 red lights around the power button and it wouldn't work.
I read that it's fixable, but I couldn't be arsed. I was leary of an xbox that had that the very first time it got turned on.
the people at best buy were like 'whatever, go get another one' LOL

yeah best buy is pretty good about shit like that
My monitor had a line through it that revealed itself like a week later, and they just looked at it real quick, then told me to get either my money back or another one 
My xbox is going in for service soon for the same problem
