snazzykat: Hey, this kinda sucks!

---

I received my much lauded xBox 360 today, and after a quick run to gamestop (we purchased 3 used games: startrek legacy because I am a geek, perfect dark 0, and burgerking pocketbike racer because it was $3) we set up the system and flipped it on. It took it a second to get going, but the xbox logo flew onto the screen. While I was standing there thinking about how good the graphics looked, I began to wonder just how long it should take before a system menu should pop up. Only a person with a good sense of an impending encounter with Murphy's law could have predicted what happened next. I believe that if microsoft hadn't changed the "blue screen of death" in the 360 version we would have seen it at that moment. While I cannot remember the exact verbage of the error, it made it pretty clear that something very nasty was afoot. Alan did a quick search for the error and discovered after a small game of trial and error that the hard drive on this "new" xbox was damaged beyond repair. The hard drive isn't necessary to play some games, but as you all probably know better than I, it makes it virtually impossible to do anything cool with the system.

So, now I'm sitting here on my couch pondering exactly how much I would be willing to spend to fix my "free" xbox.
