Gaming Grandma Gets Red Ring of Repair
I’ve always had a certain fondness for the “Old Grandma Hardcore.” Well, not even little old ladies are immune to the dreaded Red Ring of Death.
It happened. Grandma’s XBox 360, “The Beast”, gave her The Ring of Doom; The Three Red Lights; The Texas Eyeball; The Major Nelson Stare.. and this time, there was no cooling off period or power supply reconnection solution. This time, we had to leave it to the professionals.
To say it made Grandma depressed is an understatement.
Grandma is bummed.
Grandma is down.
Grandma is on edge.
Now, this is truly a tale of misery and woe, and I’m sure Microsoft will take care of her and get her a new “Beast”. But since my Xbox 360 went out of the one year warranty last month, I’m getting more than a little nervous… You better believe that I’ve got my fingers crossed that the red lights of doom don’t shine upon my home.
