I got the Red Ring just now. My teenage son had a friend over and played the XBOX for over 12 hours and it died.

So the league is on hold until I get it fixed. I can't find a way to advance us on the website. I'll keep looking into it.

I was able to get it to run long enough to advance us. We are in Week 6 now.

I'm going to try to promote Scrunch tomorrow but I don't know if I will get lucky enough to have the system boot up again.

Well my son has the system working now but I think it's a matter of time before it crashes for good. So we might be ok for a while. We have two systems and the second one was already broken... so I'm planning on sending in the 2nd one to get fixed and crossing my fingers that the other lasts long enough to get it back from repairs.

How f-in stupid. So even though the issue I have was something they have fixed before I have to pay to get it fixed. Since I could not get the F-IN system registered online I had to call them which costs me an additional $20. So $120 to fix this damn thing. THEN come to find out they do not send boxes anymore. You just print the label. LOL.

Microsoft is a freakin joke. Anyway... my system will be in the mail soon.

That sucks!

Hopefully your other one will last long enough for us to get in our game next week. I've had it circled on my schedule. From what I remember you still owe me some payback from our last JFL game where I beat you on a last minute pass interference call on Bradie James.

We have two XBOX 360s. My son has one and I have one. He got his running so I should be good until mine gets back from repairs.
