Third time’s a charm. Somehow, that phrase doesn’t seem appropriate here.

Yes, my third Xbawks 360 has succumb to the fatal Red Ring of Death® (all right reserved by Microsoft). However, this red ring is unique. It is a Red Ring of Once In A While Death, in that it appears about every fifth of the time I power up my console. Of course, my Wii, which I have not used in months, is still fine. It sits lonely and cold, yearning for attention that it doesn’t deserve while I sigh and look away in shame.

Soon I will get the shipping label to plaster onto my previous box that I received for my second RRoD. But for now, I shall enjoy the last few sputtering breaths my 360 has to offer, whilst listening to the metallic grinding of two chainsaws colliding in a conflict for life or temporary 5-to-10 second death.

Also, welcome to the club Mxyzptlk.
