Now comes the tough part... the wait.

I hope you took your hard drive off. They usually just send you back a refurbished one once they receive yours through the mail. I got mine back in a few days.

Notice when you get the new one, they never clarify what the problem ever was. Since it seems 90% of 360's have been sent in for repairs from the beginning. If they specify the same problem with all 360's, then they have to recall all of them...which nobody wants to do.

Of course I did... it says to do so in the included directions for sending your console back to them.

Goood News Don't be surprised if you get an automated UPS call on a Sunday for a Monday return delivery that's how mine went down 2 out of three times.

That's awesome, I hope he gets the 360. He didn't play often, but I loved his style when he did. Plus I love him for the badass Gwar song his name is from...

This is why I had mine shipped to my work address. I'm hoping it arrives this week since I'm in Virginia until Friday. I'd love nothing more than to go into the office on Friday to see it sitting on my desk.

I think I'd have to take the afternoon off.

Shipping mine off tommorow afternoon, just received the box today.

Was taping up the box with the provided tape and n00bed it. Can't wait to actually play the machine once I get it back. Might even have a job by then.

Add a woman to the equation and you'll cut your playing time down considerably.

You just have to choose wisely... my wife loves to play certain video games. I made the mistake of teaching her how to play Mortal Kombat when we were first dating, and it's all been "downhill" from there.

I feel your pain. I bought my wife Viva Pinata, and we went through a phase where it was "who can get to the 360 first". Thankfully she doesn't mind my gaming.

My girl knows that I play on occasions, and I don't think she cares that much. I call myself a nerd and she says "oh please you're not a nerd". Little does she know I've made videos of myself playing video games =/

And I also have the "excuse" of going to school for making video games, so that's even less reasons for the wife to give me grief about my time spent playing games.
