Had to happen sooner or later I suppose, jumped on for a quick blast of GRID to be met with......



NO!! the Red Ring of Death!!!! :'( :'( :'(

oh well...PS3 is getting some playtime then  :y



........what is this bannjaxx? ( sorry for being thick) :-[

sorry Zulu - the pics not clear - massive XBox360 failure - infamously known as the "Red Ring of Death"
in fact - it's so common that you can even buy greeting cards with commiserations for this very problem on them!!

bound to happen sooner or later i suppose - imagine any other business with a product that failed so often? luckily its so good - i'll overlook it (so long as Mr Gates sends me a new one :y)



....I had a similar failure last week - of the physiological sort I must add - ( too many prunes ) ;D ;D

All good now thank heavens :y

Seriously, hope you get sorted out without too much trouble :y :y
