Want a new heat sinked 360? Look at the serial [update 1]

Aug 7th 2007 2:27AM (Joystiq Xbox)
So my second 360 started freezing on me. No red lights, just freezing. So I get on the phone with Microsoft 360 support's "blaze" that's the guys name. And he tells me to restart the 360 without the harddrive in there. So I'm like, well alright, I'll try it, but it's gonna freeze on me. So I do it, and instead of starting it gives me the red lights. So I tell him it's 3 red lights now, and he's like "AHHHhaa! that just saved you some time" and that "bill had spent 2billion on making sure people who see 3 red lights are taken care of..." and most importantly, they get a "NEW XBOX WITH A SPECIAL CHANGE SO YOU WILL NEVER GET 3 RED LIGHTS EVER AGAIN".

So I guess you gotta say the magic word or something to get one. He said it'll take 3 to 4 weeks to get my 360, which is different than the 1 week turnaround that I had for the first crapper.

Anyway, watch, I'll probably get a crappy old refurb.

haha.
