I am brutally depressed and need some cheering up.

Someone tell me a joke or something.

My Xbox red-lighted yesterday.

I get my third cymbal in the mail tomorrow, and I get to stare at it and do nothing.

I hate my life.

horrific news man, sorry to hear that. youve got options for replacing your box but youre definately gonna be looking at some down time no matter what. which as a gamer is always the worst part.

whenever ive broken a system, or my Ion, or something i either play my real drums, or a different game. Rock Band cured my WoW addiction, then when my Ion kit broke, Warhammer cured my RockBand addiction...

E74 only has one year warranty, and in that case he is screwed.

Try the 360 Red-Ring towel trick, videos of it are up on YouTube. Hopefully, it'll ease your pain a bit.

I called Microsoft last night. The woman I talked to didn't even ask me when I bought my Xbox, she just set up the return and e-mailed me a shipping label. I shipped it today. It's only going like 100 miles away from me to repair so hopefully it won't take too long.

NEVERMORE IN ROCK BAND NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or you could get a ps3, we never get that, but we got to wait two days longer for dlc, but our net is free, and we have blu ray, and built in wi fi.

or you could just open your xbox your self, take off the cpu cooler apply new paste, reclamp, close up, and boot up. that is the only problem

Yeah I've had it happen. It's a drag to be without one, but the process was pretty painless.

I'm in this boat. Red-ring on Monday, received my cymbal pack about 3 hours after shipping off the 360. And to top it off, I want this Orbison pack like mad.

But a joke...A guy and a horse are sitting at a bar. Guy turns to the horse and says, "Hey, what's with the long face?"

The horse says, "I just found out I have cancer."

I've got a joke for you.

What has three cymbals and is completely useless?




Your drums!

On the other hand my brother's Xbox just red ringed so I can sympathize with you.

What do you do to an elephant with three balls?

Walk him & pitch to the Rhino!



Seriously, the repair process isn't that painful. I had to send mine in and got it back within a week.

Worse news, my xbox just stopped reading disks and from the look of it, I'll have to get a new xbox. Now, I have over 130 DLC tracks and as I've just moved, I won't have internet good enough to connect to xbl, meaning no more playing those 130 songs or the rockband 1 songs till, well, next time I move because one cannot play DLC they have off of the original xbox downloaded to unless they're connected to xbox live.

PS3's aren't exempt from similar problems you know. I have 4 friends with PS3's and two of them broke.
But 360 hardware failure rate is still leauges worse. (2 of mine broke...1st RRoD, 2nd "E80")


Thats why you buy a console at Best Buy and get a 3-year warranty, you'll get a new one instantly.

mine rrod too, but i was playing RB again in less than an hour, all you have to do is wrap like 3 towels around it and leave it on for like 30 minutes so it over heats, then turn it off for about 15 minutes until it cools down, then magically it works again.

Yeah i'm in the process of waiting for a repair, mine messed up right before christmas, it was more than likely my fault cause I would binge play Left 4 dead for at least 4-6 hours at a time. Just a note, the towel thing mentioned is supposed to work for a short period of time, but there is a chance of fire, and if that were to happen your warranty is voided, and there is also the chance of burning up the video card. To Haruki, call microsoft and explain the situation, they may be able to fix it for a fee, if not they may be able to do some type of transfer deal for your dlc, of course this would require internet access for at least an hour or so if they were willing to do it. Here's a joke for ya.

Where do you hide money from a hippie?

Under the soap.

I have a PS3, and if I had to choose between the two, I would keep my xbox.

guy goes to his doctor and says "Doc, i don't know if my wife has TB or VD. What should I do?"

doctor says "Chase her around the bed. If she coughs, f*** her."
