GTA 4 Murder!!

Damn game killed my xbox... Or at least, I did by playing it so much. Stupid Red Ring of Death, just after things got really interesting (the Holland Play mission).

Too add insult to injury, MS website won't let me sign in for repair. I get a freaking error message....

I suppose I should sleep though - work tomorrow...

Do the towel trick. Wrap the XBOX in a couple of towels, turn it on and let it bake (yes, bake) for 15minutes. Take off the towels, shut the XBOX off, let it cool and turn it back on again. No more rings of death.

I had the rings of death. It took two tries but this eventually worked.
