my xbox died (again) and i lived to share my story

Just tonight, my fifth Xbox 360 red ringed and died. More precisely, it diagnosed itself with a fatal case of E74 "general hardware failure". Now, while one's natural reaction to such a catastrophe would be to scream obscenities, be furious with the world and put all the blame on the last game that was being played (in this case, it was the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 demo), I instead manned up and had a good cry. After my brief sob, I did what any Xbox addict would do when their Xbox dies; I wiped my tears, hopped on a bus, braved the frigid weather and picked up a replacement Xbox 360 Arcade from Target. I figured it'll last me for the time being while I figure out my warranty situation. Yup, that's my story. Curse this evil world.

Oh, and look at the pic above that illustrates how adorably tiny little small'ish the new Xbox AC adapters are. You almost want to pinch its little plastic cheeks. *pinch* *pinch!*
