so i just got off the phone with xbox customer support and they won’t repair my 360 for me b/c it’s from korea. so now i get to call korea, hope they speak english, and try and get it all figured out. fun stuff. maybe it’s time to buy a ps3… [...]

sweet. my fucking 360 just fucking rrod’d on me. fucking piece of shit garbage.
edit: and now it’s working again. wtf.
