I'm not trolling I'm just saying what happened to me. Trolling would be something like 'PS3 is better than Xbox because the Xbox has a failure rating of roughly 54%'. Nah, me saying my Xbox red ringed isn't trolling; it's just a sad fact of life for most Xbox 360 owners.

No worries, I wasn't actually offended. Even though my 360 has let me down on more than one occasion It still holds a place in my heart.
