Having to endure the long, slow process of X360 repair sucks.

The perils of X360 repair


So my brother-in-law got himself an X360 the day they came out, and he's loved it. He's a total Halo 2 addict (so much so that he won't play Halo 3 unless all of his friends insist on it), and he organizes huge, 4- and 8-TV parties with all of his friends so they can yell obscenities at each other across his mom's huge house. Everyone thought the box was the bomb.


Until the reports of the 3-red-lights problem started coming out. My brother-in-law sensed that he was going to have this problem, and he told everyone to wait for it. He was right. It took him less than 6 months to send his X360 in the first time, and he waited 6 weeks to get it back. Problem solved! W00t! On with the games...for about five more months. Then guess what?


You're right! It happened again! This time, 2 whole months went by while his X360 repair dragged on and on. Needless to say, he was kinda pissed. So I went online and I started looking up how to repair an X360. There's some half-assed articles out there, but nothing really really good for free.


So, I tossed in the towel and paid for one of the books. I've never had to use it myself, but my bro did, and he's never had to send his box in again. I've done a little research, and this book is, by almost all accounts, the best one out there. It's got videos and diagrams so even an idiot can repair his X360, and it's even got a money-back guarantee if you can't figure it out even with all the help.


We've been playing Halo 2 for almost 48 hours straight now, with no sign of the red circle. Booyah for the joys of home x360 repair!
