(title is a reference to a book which was out in the eighties about a teenager called Adrian Mole aged 13 and a half)

As with any loss there are four stages:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Resentment
4. Acceptance

Sunday 24th February.
2:30: I can't believe I have the house to myself. I go up and play a bit of Xbox 360. Switch on the 360 expecting my version of Burnout to start up only to be greeted by a black screen. E 74 contact support blah, blah, blah. So my first instinct is denial, this can't be happening to me, this only happens to people like Ken. So I get angry and disconnect my 360 bring it down stairs to try on the TV in the sitting room. No go still got the same issue. I ring MS but they don't answer due to some admin crap. So not much I can do for the rest of the day except cry. LOL

It brings a tear to my eye....

Solm, If you want a Blog-spot let me know I am sure we can help you out .

Hate getting old but admire those who has no problem accepting their fate. Time waits for no one and putting of doesn't solve the problem.

The lesson I've learnt from your experience is that you have to abuse the 360 in it's first year to make sure it doesn't give the ghost a few days after the guarantee expire.

abuse = use ever day
use every day >= 6 hours

Actually ...there are 5 stages of grief :
1)Denial
2)Anger
3)Bargaining
4)Depression
5)Acceptance
