(This is a follow-up to this blog, where I let it be known that my 360 has succumbed to the red ring of death. I have gotten it to work sporadically, thankfully, as I'd have been pissed to not be able to sample Rez HD.)
My UPS guy just came a knockin'. I open the door and he hands me a white box. Before I can even say hello he says "Xbox died, huh?"
I started laughing. Yes, this was my "coffin", the box to ship my broken Xbox back for repairs.
"Yeah, you get a lot of these, huh?"
He looks at me with a serious face.
"Tons. 2-10 a week, easily."
Just makes you feel great about your choice of console, eh?

haha. Today when I dropped off my SECOND Rock Band guitar box, the UPS lady, without looking at the label, said, "sending off a guitar, eh?" Hooray for quality products!
