Xbox 360 Red Rings

Nothing seems to be going well for me today, it didn’t really go off to a good start when my Xbox 360 gave up while I was playing GTA 4. The screen went fuzzy, restarted, and I got the red rings and an E74 hardware issue message appear on my screen.

I guess one good thing about this problem is that Microsoft actually recognize it as a problem and they have increased their warranty on this problem to 3 years instead of 1. However, there is a major downside to this problem occurring, it will take 2-3 weeks to repair it and sods law means that the console didn’t break down 3 weeks ago when there were no new games really being released, but now, less than a week before Guitar Hero Metallica and Terminator Salvation and any games that are due for release at the beginning of June.

So unfortuantely, it doesn’t look like I will be doing any reviews for the new games within the next 3 weeks thanks to a good old hardware issue, atleast it’s not my hard drive that’s the problem really otherwise I would be back at stage 1 with all my games and have to re-download all my Rock Band songs.
