I wasn't going to go there.

But I thought it.

I'm honored Pete. Thanks for the info. Of course I'm heading into crazy hours time, so won't be able to test if the unplugging was a fluke fix or a long term fix.

I'm sorry, we don't allow posts that long from Pete. Better to redact it down to:

Dead or frozen box
Tech support's tender mercies
Sucks to be you...bitch

I tried streaming a netflix last night. Got to the dashboard desktop thingie, was scrolling to find the netflix app, and got the "beeeP" as it froze. Curious. I mean, unplugging things for an hour seems like it would fix stuff. So when I'm done with tech, I gotta ship that puppy out I guess.

Huh, you didn't mention the beep before. That's exactly what mine would do when it froze.

BTW, they replaced my box. Sadly it was the same generation as my previous so I didn't suddenly gain a 360 with an HDMI port.

Remember, don't ship the hard drive!

Also, Laura is on the List.

Oh, it's music and singing games. I was envisioning playing Jesus Christ Superstar with more firepower. Dang.
