Why?

Sods law has unfortunately affected me in the worst way.

While at college, did I have any time to play 360? No, hardly none at all. I didn't like college, so I left, and lo and behold, a week after I leave, my xbox breaks. 1 red light. E74 error. Fantastic.

No worries, I figure I can send that one away, and play my spare until it returns. So I go to my closet, and get my spare one out, and plug it in. 4 red lights. I know this is a cable failure, so I wasn't too fussed. I tried another cable, didn't work. Went and bought another one. Still didn't work. Kept restarting it, and, you guessed it, 3 red lights.

2 broken 360's in the space off 2 days. Not good.
