As I recently mentioned, my XBOX 360 died almost immediately after finishing the single player campaign of Halo 3. I think it was mainly the DVD drive, but either way, nothing I did worked. I tried multiple game discs, movies, unplugged it completely, laid it on it's side, left it off for hours, and all to no avail.

So, what's the good news you ask? Well, since I had the 2 Yr Protection Plan from Best Buy, I was able to return it and get FULL credit. That's right, even though the current price is $350, I got credit for the full $400. Not being an idiot, I chose to upgrade to an XBOX 360 Elite and only paid $54! So now I've got 100GB more hard drive space, a brand spanking new system, an HDMI cable (not sure I'll use it), all for the low price of $50 and a lost hard drive (soooo happy I finished the campaign...)

A couple months ago, the only way I was getting an Elite was to fork over $500 cash. Or maybe even have the system malfunction, and throw $100 at the situation. But since the price drop...it's turned into the gift that keeps on giving! (Similar to my iPhone adventures...but that's another post)

God is good...woohoo!
