so there I was about to get the details from some dude about dodging rockets and the system shut down.

no biggie, i thought, Bethesda games have a habbit of annoying system bugs so I sighed and pressed the power up again.

(i do realise that the fact I was playing FO:NV was probably just a co-incidence)

green light turned yellow briefly then three beeps and a flashing Red Light of Death.

thinking it was overheated I left it for a few hours in the path of the aircon, still same problem.

Luckily i managed to disassemble the BR drive and get my game out, and I gave the system a good cleaning at the same time, which did not help. so three years of happy gaming literally came to a crashing halt.

now the problem at hand - do i bother with a repair/replacement or do i sit my ass in the car, buy a slim, and assign a new role as doorstop to my old phat?
