I hooked it up last night. It sounded a bit noisier than I remembered. I believe that to be the hard drive, though, as I didn’t put a disk in last night. Also, I’ll attribute it to sitting next to the machine, as I was too lazy to go back to the [...]

Pretty much the opposite of the Red Badge of Courage. It just happened to my XBox 360 an hour or so ago… it’s almost 1 year to the day that I got my system. Oddly enough, around the time I bought it, Microsoft realized this to be a problem and extended their warranty from 90 [...]
