A friend had an xbox 360 with the 3 lights ROD and was just going to throw it away, he had already bought another one, so I said I would take it figuring the repair wouldn't be more than 100.00, I called MS customer service and found it still under warranty for the general hardware failure faults so it'll be fixed for free. In addition I get 1 year of xbox live gold for free (whatever that is).
Not counting pong I've only owned 2 other consoles, an atari 2600 and a playstation so I'm kinda excited about it, not to mention I haven't been able to do any gaming since october so the shakes are getting really bad. As everyone knows you can't detox from gaming addiction.
