No...he couldn't be...no, wait, yep. He sure is whistling the Tetris theme.

XBox again

After not being remotely impressed with XBox customer service last time, they've thoroughly redeemed themselves. I booked off Hallowe'en, and after doling out candy to kiddies for a surprisingly brief period, we decided to watch Rocky Horror, because, well, duh.

Within a couple minutes of turning it on, the 360 locked up, as it was doing before. It's perhaps worth noting that my 360 had actually seemed to stop constantly freezing in the week preceding all this.

So I restart the machine, and finally get the Red Ring of Death. Huzzah! So I call Customer Service again, and got absolutely fantastic service...they send me my little cardboard coffin by Purolator (ugh) and say I'll get my XBox back within 3-4 weeks.

Shockingly, Purolator finds my apartment and tries to deliver the coffin the very next day. We took the 360 to their depot to drop it off, and doing so, I'm thinking I'll never see it again, what with Purolator being awesome and all. The shocks continued, as not only did Purolator not lose my 360, they actually delivered my new (well, refurbished) unit the following Friday. So Red Ring of Death to back online in less than 9 days. I really can't complain too much about that. They also gave me a free month of XBox Live, which sort of sucks because I was effectively offline for a lot longer than that.
