I don't think it's any coincidence that a console, Xbox or other typically chooses to give up the ghost right when one picks up a copy of X game that they were really looking forward to playing.

When was the last time anyone said shortly after seeing a blinking RRoD or YLoD said: "Well I didn't really want to play this game right now anyway and the two weeks it takes to get it fixed will give me some time to catch up on my reading."

Murphy's Law pretty much makes it so that your hardware fails right when you want to use it most.

But if you're REALLY that dedicated to X console platform and can't live a day without it, odds are you have more than one.
