XBox 360: Back Online!

Yesterday marked the return of me to the online word of PES6 via Xbox 360. It is as you may have noticed the end of July, they received my broken console at the end of May.

Not quite good enough.

Had I not been saving up for a wedding I would have gotten myself a PS3, instead I took an interest in the Nintendo DS and Gamecube that I have ignored for quite some time.

While I applaud MS for holding up their hands to the Red Ring of Death problem and committing to taking the financial hit, I have found the experience thoroughly frustrating.

What is confusing me even more is the time it took to return a XBox which came with a letter telling me it was a replacement (does that mean new?) console. Maybe everyone is getting a replacement console? And if it is a replacement where do I stand with regards to the standard Warranty period?

 

Anyhow, it's back now and everyone (read as 'me') is happy. The only thing is every time I press the power button I expect Red lights...
