Well, I suppose it's a right of passage for all XBox 360 owners:

I got my first Red Ring of Death.

3-lighter, which means it's still under warranty.  I'm shipping it out tomorrow.  If I'm lucky I'll get it back by Thanksgiving.

Perfect timing, just in time to NOT play Assassin's Creed II.

Ah, well...  now that the show's over, and my 360's in stasis, it'll give me more time to write or Wii or clean or PS2 or whatever.

BTW, did I mention I have a "new" car coming my way tomorrow?  WOO!
