Oh Comeon! Seriously?

Tonight I popped in GTA IV to play a little bit online, I load the game up, and it makes a sharp sound, and the 360 freezes. I shrug it off, since that occasionally happens. So I turn off the console and start it back up. While waiting for the game to load, I chuckled to myself, thinking how weird it would be if it RROD'd and what I would do for 3 weeks.

It loads and does the same thing it did before. I laughed nervously and reset again, thinking something was wrong with the game. I go into my files and DELETE one of my saves, hoping it would fix the problem, thinking it was a bad save. I start up the game and it freezes.

I reset. And almost cry.



NO! I shouldn't have thought about it! But I did and it happened!

So now I went to the Xbox website and found out that 3 rings=3 year warranty, which means it's free. That brought (barely any) comfort to me.

So now I sit here, wondering what I'm going to be doing for the next month, what a waste of Xbox live subscription, do I get that back? I think...

So now it looks like while I'm waiting for my R4 cart to arrive, I'll also be waiting for a...shipment box XP[/img]
