We here at the Player One podcast would like to take a moment to remember all of the Xbox 360s out there that have given their lives in the name of entertainment. In particular, those once owned by Chris Johnston, Phil Theobald, and the newly

widowed Greg Seward. And our thoughts and prayers are with Dan Dormer, who's naive enough to think

that his launch system will actually see him through to the release of Halo 3. Hello and welcome to episode 40 of the Player One podcast for July 30th, 2007.

I'm your host, Greg Seward, and I'm deep in mourning right now, my beloved 360.

Oh, three down.

Three down, one to go.

Not going to happen.

The Player One podcast with a 75% failure rate.

And that's just the episodes.

That's right.

With me as always is my faithful sidekick, Chris Johnston.

Hello.

Who also had a red ring.

I did.

I still have to send my back.

But he's a sucker because he went out and bought a new one.

That was before they announced that great Warrenee thing. He got have a warranty because I bought it off some dude in a parking lot.

Listen, I was just to say, that's what you get for buying your consoles out of the back of a fan.

Let me just remind you about our IM conversation earlier this week where you're like,

where you're questioning whether you should go buy a new one. Remember that? Remember when you told me I'm going to go buy, I'm just going to go buy a new one? I've got to find a place that has the 30-day return policy so I can just return it when I get my old one. Well, that would be cool. Well, I just, it's over, I got to wait over a month for the damn thing. Well, that's what you get. I didn't even get my coffin yet. Oh, man. Geez. Apparently those aren't in low stock, so hopefully you get that. Shortages. Yeah. Yeah. Shakes along because we're having trouble manufacturing enough coffins.

Yeah. That's awesome. It's like the plague or something, you know.

Not enough coffees to go around for all the dead bodies.
