Man this really sucks.  You see I'm pretty big on playing video games.  Its just something that I do a lot of.  The console that I play is an Xbox 360.  As of right now it is busted.  If you know anything about console games these days then you know that there is a big rivalry between Sony's Playstation, and Microsoft's Xbox.  It's a big race between the two corporations to make a better system and get it out faster than the other.  Microsoft got their newest Xbox, the 360, out quite some time before the Playstation 3.  This rush caused Microsoft to use a lot of faulty parts and what not in the making of the 360.  They seem to be prone to failure and things tend to break fairly easily.  This is a big problem for people like me because I really enjoy playing Xbox and I like the Xbox much better than the Playstation.  The biggest problem that the Xbox has is one with the motherboard.  When the console overheats some of the soulders on the motherboard come off.  This causes a general hardware failure, and Xbox becomes useless.  You can't play ur games or anything with it.  The way you know if you have this failure is the Red Ring of Death or RROD.  Its three of the lights on  the power button that are usually green but are now red and flashing.  When you get this the only thing that you can do is send it in to Microsoft and they'll fix it.  This happened to me about six months ago and I went about a month without playing Xbox.  Thats a long time for me.  I thought the problem was fixed for good, sadly I was mistaken.  In the past week my Xbox recieved this RROD once again and I'm pissed off at Microsoft for not fixing the problem the first time.
