Why tempt fate?
I was explaining to someone today that I wouldn't know what I would do if my Xbox died. And what happens?
Yep.....that's right, Dixie has finally given up. And it's not even in a spectacular way.....no 3 lights of death for me, just the 1.Even my 360 gives me a half-assed attempt at dying.
First of I thought it was the Rainbow Six disk cos it kept fucking up on screen, but then I get the one red light and the E74 error message.I was quite proud of myself, as I didn't panic. Mainly because Toms 360 used to do it all the time. Apparently that error message means that there is a hardware failure and they recommend taking all the accessories off and the hard drive and starting over. I started to panic when no matter what  did, I kept getting the same message, the 1 red light and by now, a really nasty sound coming from her guts.
So, it was time to ring Xbox support. Considering I have only had that 360 since February.....she's not that old.
And so, I had to go and buy Dixie a coffin and bubble wrap as she will be getting picked up at some point within the next 3 days and taken to see a man, who can hopefully fix her. And it could take 15 days!!
I know a lot of you are thinking "how the hell is Karli going to cope without Dixie considering it's not just a gaming console, but also a means to chat with Michael?"
Luckily for me, my younger brother (who is in Greece for the whole season) has his Xbox here, at the parental unit and so I have stolen it for now.
Can you imagine what kind of state I would have been in if my brothers 360 hadn't have been here? I possibly would have died of boredom.
