EX-BOX 360

its is a grim day indeed, after a frustrating day at work i strolled through my front door and thought id release my frustrations playing gears of war, i switched on my console. "an update is avalible for your console" a greeting which i had seen many time before, i accepted this offer. a couple of seconds passed, and my console powered down.
at this point things were going just peachy.
then it happened (dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuun)
my 360 froze up on the logo screen. but this was not any "normal" freeze up, the logo on my screen was strange, it was made up of red squares. "odd" i thought to my self as i switched the console off and restarted it, but it was too late nothing could be done, i stared vacantly at the screen,
nothing
my eyes lowered to the console,
blink, blink, blink.
the room was illuminated with a red glow (i know its an exaggeration) coming from the ring of light on the console.
three red lights.... the sign from microsoft itself saying "you`ve just been screwed, have a fantastic day"
i searched for the manual... where is it i thought. i found it and flipped to the back page. "customer support" i thought, the light at the end of a dark tunnel. but no
"our offices are closed at the moment please try again later"<----- at this point a tiny vien in my forehead exploded.
"dammit" i exlaimed whilst slamming the phone down, id missed office hours by 10 mins, surley there was someone still there, tiding their desk away or finishing their game on the ps3 that was in the office.
im gonna call tomorrow before work, that`ll put me in a wonderful mood.
