So, my SexBox Three-Shitsty is bricked. Surprise surprise. It's down to the E74 error which is apparently related to the console overheating. This in turn is down to the thing lacking a heat sink, simply containing a low power fan and poor ventilation. Well done Microsoft.
I've learned that since this started popping up more regularly MS have extended the warranty from 1 year to 3 years. That's really great considering after my 1 year was up I slung the box and documents required to send the damn thing to get fixed.
Fortunately though, there are plenty of fixes online and I have tried a few of them to no avail. However, I think I've got the best possible solution right here.
Check it out. ![:)](http://192.241.182.11/images/smilies/smile.png)
Chalk up another shoddy product Microsoft. Not surprising that I don't know a single person who has paid for one of your operating systems.

Either that or find someone as good at and dedicated to their job as Gabe was when he worked there. I swear, they're too damn lazy for their own good. Not that it stops the money from rolling in...
As for the PS3, My friend had that for a year and it munched almost all his cds and blew up.
Another -20 points to Microsoft for charging for LIVE and for charging ?50 for a wireless adapter which seems to operate of its own accord if its sunny and you're wearing a blue shirt and there aren't too many dishes in the sink of the neighbors house or what the fuck.
Regardless, in the mean time, I bought the $200 arcade edition, moved all my stuff, and sold the refurbished 360 on ebay for enough money to make up for what I spent. No problems with this Jasper chipset.
;D
If you don't like them, I lose all faith in humanity. >:|
