I was greeted with the above info checking on my Red Ring of Death 360 today! A beloved 360 is on it's way back to me, the serial number is different than the one I sent in, so I'm guessing its a refurbished unit. At this point I don't really care, If not for dropping back into WoW I think I would have gone mad. :(
Hopefully it will arrive before this weekend, putting repair time (transit to-repair-transit back) right at 3 weeks to the day. I've really been contemplating picking up a second 360 unit in case this happens again, a broken 360 rendered my HD DVD player also so I've had the same netflix disc now for 2 1/2 weeks. I've known about the Xbox 360 Arcade pack for a while now (even though Microsoft has still issued no official word although it is street dated for 10/23/07), and figured I would definitely pick up the disc when we got in a used one (only owning UNO makes it a pretty descent compilation). The more I thought about it though I may just buy the whole package and keep the second 360 upstairs, allowing me to watch HD DVDs there by just moving the drive.
I took part last year in DVD Talks October Halloween Movie Challenge last year, where the goal was (loosely) to watch 31 Horror movies in 31 days (although the top person last year hit 170). I thought this was easily possible, but alas moving took a big toll and pretty much negated 2 weeks of the month. I'm trying again this year, but it's going slow again, we're half way through the month and I'm at 6. I even bought the Masters of Horror season 1 box set since I've heard so much about the series, thinking that would be 13 titles right there. The problem is mainly TV, I watch a lot of shows every night and October is usually early in the new fall season so that compounds it even more. The DVR (as much as I love it) hinders this too making it to easy to record multiple things (I remember when I used to have 2 VCRs to do multiple shows at the same time).
