Ouch.

One of my Xbox 360s has two red ring, its two and a half years old and has been abused quite massively. The other one is a spare I got to increase the HDD space and its one and a half years old and sees little use. Both are out of warranty and both are died within 48 hours!

Im a little peeved, but what can I do? I even had a Wii break down on me this generation. Im a very unlucky camper when it comes to hardware.

I blame Binary Solo, he always wanted me to play on the PS3 exclusively.

 

Sometimes lighting does strike twice I guess.

I'd put in a work order and send them in for repair anyway. The MS service department is so adept at handling broken Xboxes, I'd be surprised if they even blinked twice about a couple more busted systems. Plus you can always work that angle over the phone if you call the service department: original owner, two broken Xboxes in two days? Come on. If you didn't get an apology over the phone I'd be surprised.

Besides, unless you're going to try fixing them yourself, what are you going to do with them? Do you really need 2 door stops?

I guess you're right. I'll put in a work order on both of them. Theres no harm in trying, at worst they'll just send them back unrepaired right?
