It's worse than that, it's dead, Jim
Yet again my Xbox360 has died. Luckily, it is again within warranty, this time the extended three years for the red ring of doooom.
Initially the Xbox just intermittently failed with corrupt screen graphics but, after much gnashing of teeth and praying to the gods of gaming, the console detiorated from an expensive out-of-warranty failure to a free in-warranty failure.
Funnily enough (for those with a sick sense of humour anyway), today is the 5th anniversary of Xbox Live and members can download a game for free as a present. Of all the days to fail, today would be the best so it did. My luck was in, though, as the free game is NOT one of your own choice but the magnificent Carcassone which I've already bought.
Time to contact Xbox support to get the repair process rolling...

I think we should start referring to this as "having your Xbox Rodded" (Red Ring of Death = RRoD)
There's a certain resonance in referring to it as "Rodding" don't you think?
