I was lucky she lasted me so long. My very first Xbox 360 has taken her last breath. According to the back, she was born 12/03/05. We didn't meet until two weeks later on the seventeenth at a Cleveland Circuit City. I sat watching Fantastic Four over and over, not knowing if there was even a 360 waiting for me on the supply truck. After several hours, my patience was rewarded. It was undoubtedly worth the wait, because as soon as we arrived home, my 360 and I fell in love. We've had a healthy relationship ever since... until 2:03 pm when it came screeching to a halt.
The Circuit City Advantage Protection Plan I purchased with her expired in December 2007, so now I have to go through Microsoft. Bring on the crappy customer support.
On the plus side, the timing couldn't have been better. It's before the three year warranty runs out, and right when the weather is getting warm so I don't use my 360 as much.
