Top 10 Reasons for the Red Rings of Death......

I read this in the September issue of Game Informer and had to share with you unlucky souls who have had to deal with the red ring of death.  I can't understand how so many consoles are still crashing on a daily basis.  It is incredibly frustrating for the consumer.  Good luck to all who have their box in for "repairs" and best of luck that the rest of us (we have two boxes) will skate by without this happening to us as well. 

Don't get me wrong.  I  my 360.  However, I was ready to go postal on "the man" when our 360 crashed on launch.  Perhaps that is my fault for buying a brand new console before the bugs were worked out, but I believed in Microsoft and what they could accomplish.  Whenever I think back to the months I spent without our precious box (yes months-it was a total screw up from the time the coffin left my house!)  my blood boils.  I realize it is only human to make mistakes, but this kind of mistake could have and should have been fixed long ago.  I realize they have extended their warranty, but this only stands to show their lack of faith in their own consoles and their attempt to fix the red ring.  Nevertheless, I will still be an XBOX fan.  Just like Ninetendo had (and still have) the Mario Bros., Zelda and many other titiles strictly for there platform, XBOX has the Master Chief.  I hope Microsoft learns there lesson some day.......

Alright enough ranting, now to the funnies...
