    I had to send in my 360 three times and every time the UPS guy came back with my console he'd say, "I've got your gameboy!" I miss that guy. I hope he's well.

    I remember bringing my first 360 that red ringed into our avionics shop. Under the magnifier I found the CPU solder was melting away. Tried to explain this to Microsoft when I sent it in. My second one that failed I had the the die desoldered and resoldered it, still works 13 years later.

Plus it was the ultimate plastic instrument system. I played Rock Band 3 for years on the 360 and still do play it. Thank you for all the fun memories of losing in Peggle because I missed one orange peg, or playing Rock Band 3 with my whole family, or the one Christmas Eve where I played through the entirety of Guitar Hero 3 in one sitting.
