My dog Plays xbox



So, aye, messing about on my Xbox, and my dog comes running in, lies beside me and watches me. I put the headset on her, and gave her the controller.. and, as I was taking the photo.. she yawned (Poser :P).

Enjoy.

A follow up post.

So, I haven't posted to the Blog in ages, and I decided that I'd tell you's how I got on with the 360.
Right, my 360 was an original one.. bought on December 05. That meant that it was out of warranty in December 06 also.

So, On the 20th of April, I was settling down to a night of gaming, and I turned on the 360 (No problems.) I put in Guitar Hero, and it came up that there was an update available... I downloaded it, not thinking any different, and got on with playing the game. In the middle of my first song, the game froze, and, being with friends, I laughed and was like "Hah, this hasn't happened before.". I restarted the 360 and I was greeted with the "3 red lights.

I went on google.. and typed in my problem...
THIS is what I was greeted with.

So, it's a common problem, most definately caused by Guitar Hero. I rang Microsoft up explaining my case and what was going on, and she was no help, I ended up finding out that it would cost me £85. When I explained that it wasn't my fault the 360 broke and actually the game developers, she said that it'd cost £85 regardless. She gave me a reference number.. and I hung up. Because I work in a game shop... I mangaed to get one pretty quick and free thanks to the management :P.
