The Dreaded Devil's Eye--Red Ring of Death

The devil's eye, what causes him to look at you and how to get rid of the pesky eye!

Just Chilling 

Ahh...its 3:30pm and you are home from school...homework stashed in the corner of your room, favorite drink and munchies in hand...

...you get on the phone to your buddies and plan the afternoon and night's festivities...

Can anyone say Xbox 360 Team play??? unitl 4am tomorrow?

...Yeah, I thought you could...

So you settle down in front of your month old HDTV and your 2 month old xbox 360...game is already to go, fire up the xbox...

Everything is working perfectly...ahh...sheer bliss...

5 hours later...something is wrong?

...red light?

...another red light?

...a third red light?

the oasis of paradise is lost...no more game...no more team play..OMG!!!

your xbox 360 just took a dump!

Obscenties fly around the room like buzzing bees...several items are thrown against the wall, your face is flush red and sweat drips from your forehead...

at the top of your lungs you scream.."Damn you Microsoft, Damn you," as if you were saying it from the scene of some long forgotten movie about the worlds end and hairy apes!(If you don't know the line, ask someone who was alive in the 70's)

After several restarts and attempts at fixing the problem...you resign yourself to a long sigh of despair...

...one last obscenity (insert your favorite one here)!

DING!

You hear a high pitched ding in your room...(added for effect)

an idea comes to mind...THE INTERNET!

You know there is bound to be some information about this problem on the Internet!

The Search for a Miracle 

You scramble to your computer...fire it up...and wait...

Oh look, the MS Splash screen....

Man mere seconds feel like minutes, but finally your system is booted up and ready for you to travel the globe in search of an xbox 360 miracle.

You type in what you describe as the "3 red rings of death" and wait for solutions to show up...

WHOA!!! That many problems with the XBOX 360! Amazing.

You begin to read...(examples)

1. Place console in freezer overnight...?!
2. Wrap console in towel?! (are you serious)
3. Take a hammer to it! (ok, that is a possiblity)
4. Send it back to Microsoft at your cost for repair! and an expensive repair at that!
5. Fix it yourself--TONIGHT!!!

uh..what?

5. Fix it yourself--TONIGHT!!!

NO WAY!!! Are the Game Gods that generous? Is heaven real? Who is God anyway, I want to meet him or her. And how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?....I digress...

So, you click on "Fix it yourself" and lo and behold there it is....Nirvana on your flatscreen!

Someone has figured out how to fix the xbox 360 without sending it back to the factory! No delays...no giving Microsoft more of your hard earned cash!

You quickly read over the advertisement...
