I'm sure you'll do fine!

Thanks.

Yeah, what could go wrong? Not like it's Friday the 13th or any—*looks at calendar*

Well.

You will ace it. I mean, if "ace" is the appropriate verb for a recital...

I didn't ace it, but I didn't completely freeze up and lose my place, so that's something.

I did mess up in the last third due to shaking hands, but what's done is done.

My 360 RROD --- Re-manfactured unit that I owned for 1 1/2 years.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

Unlike seemingly every other 360 in the world, all I had to do was turn it off and turn it right back on, aaaaaand it's perfectly fine.

Yeah, sounds about like a Microsoft product to me.

Pretty sure you're not allowed to say anything about Microsoft products when 80710A06 is still a thing.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #7358 on:** May 14, 2011, 03:41:35 PM »

Oh, that's right--when one product is crap, that automatically means you can't complain anybody else's.

Microsoft gives free RRoD repair with a free month of Xbox LIVE Gold.

Sony compromises your credit card info and doesn't tell you until a week later.

When one product is absolute [dukar] and can potentially ruin your life, someone else's product having hardware flaws suddenly seems inconsequential.

RRoD is caused by having the console run for too long, correct? I never got my very own red ring, but I made my Wii die that way at least twice before figuring out that leaving it on while away for the weekend probably wasn't a good idea

WarpRattler · « **Reply #7361 on:** May 14, 2011, 05:06:22 PM »

RRoD was caused by an overheating issue related to how the internals of the system used to be designed. Basically, there's a clamp that holds a couple of the parts together, but it's really cheap, and it bends really easily when the system heats up. If it bends too far, wham, RRoD.

It's worth noting that the PS3 had the exact same problem, except it was solder melting, and Sony didn't offer free repairs for out-of-warranty consoles. Look up "Yellow Light of Death" sometime.

Pretty sure you're not allowed to argue over whose electronic devices fail less often when thousands of children starving to death every day is still a thing.

Two can play this game.

But apparently the solution is to fly like an eagle to the sea and I can't do that

But I thought you were a Bird Person.

I make many witty remarks a day, but my friends were asking about the one I said a couple days ago during that one random conversation before we ordered pizza. I don't remember, I say many witty things! (I hope this doesn't make me come off sounding.. concieted. I've been told I am pretty witty, but anyway..)
