    :tears: A man wearing a black suit walks up to a large wooden stand. In the crowed consoles from the N64's to Wii's sit around waving their controllers in the air playing their many start music songs. The man lifts his hand and the crowd goes quiet

    We are congreated here as whole to remember a beautiful and entertaining console system. The Xbox 360. Once a galaxy saving, rifle blasting, chainsaw reving master, now a 3 ringed hard drive failure. The crowd gasps In my hand, I have a poem to help you remember how truly amazing this system was,

    Do you remeber the first time we met?
    A Best Buy
    Where I got you without wireless internet.
    You were plain
    You were basic
    Oh how I loved you.

    Do you remember the first game we played?
    Daedra, Orcs, elves
    Oblivion, that is the world where I stayed
    Adventure
    Sword and magic
    Oh how I loved you.

    Do you remeber saving the world?
    explosions!
    The mighty guns we unfurled!
    Big Rifles
    Bazookas
    Oh how I loved you

    Do you remember the team we had?
    Soft Touching-
    On your delicate buttons, oh we were truly bad.
    Jump with Y
    Crouch with A
    Oh how I loved you

    Do you remeber xbox live?
    Signing on-
    A place where we were one with the hive
    Pwn the noob
    Captured flag
    Oh how I loved you


    Do you remeber the day you died?
    Red, Red, Red
    Your rings, a symbol I wish I could hide...
    Bye my friend
    Be happy
    For I always loved you.

    That's right guys, last night my xbox 360 gave me the 3 red rings of death. And now...I have to wait for it to be repaired. And the worst part of it all...I just got Orange Box for Christmas.

    How can Gordan Freeman save the world now? How?

    Although, I SHALL admit reluctantly... that the poem was somewhat entertaining... *prints off to show xbox-obsessed friends*

    My condolences Inarut. We have a Super Nintendo here that just keeps on ticking. I let my older daycare kids play it while the little ones are napping. It keeps them entertained. :slight_smile:

    Aw, that sucks. I'm sorry!

    My roommate's 360 had disc drive errors (the tray wouldn't come out and it wouldn't read some discs), so he had to return it before it fell to the red ring of death.

    Although now he has a Halo 3 edition 360. I'll see how long it lasts.

  11. Super Nintendo is beast. I had mine for 11 years, from age 5-16. Very first video game system I had. I thought it was gonna keep working forever with the lifespan it had.

    It's been about 2 months now. One more week? Maybe it'll break over the break. I bet he's playing it 24/7.

    Mine's lasted since I bought it without any red rings. =)

    At least you don't have to pay to have it repaired. <3 the new 3 year warranty for red rings, just in case.
