Hi, I'm TOL, and this is my first Blog entry.

I see and hear plenty of people bashing the Xbox 360. And I don't like it. Some of the statements are just ridiculous. The red ring of death? Restart the friggin' system. OMG! It works! Hallejuleh! Hallejuleh! OMG! OMG! It works! Give me a break. Every time someone sees it, they have a seizure and call customer support. I've had the red ring of death more than 5 times now since I got my 360 at release, and simply pressing the power button twice fixes the problem. And with a now 3 year warranty, any problems customers do have will be fixed. Don't like the 360? Fine. Don't buy one. But just let those people who DO have 360's enjoy theirs.

One last thing; Halo 3. Everybody know's Halo 3's gonna be great. So why does it get bashed so much? Oh, the graphics aren't the best I've ever seen, oh, there's no 4 player SPLIT-SCREEN co-op, oh, I want to play as a marine in co-op. Seriously; you people drive me nuts. Do you purposely try to make those of us who paid $130 for the Legendary Edition, PLUS a $10 deposit to reserve a copy, PLUS shipping and handling, PLUS sales tax (About $150) feel bad about that hole in out wallet? Well, stop. Stop now. Go bash some other perfectly good system, like the Wii. Go complain about how the games don't have much replay value to you. Just leave the 360 alone.

Note: I'm not attempting to accuse or insult anyone. If you're insulted by this, don't be. Stop hating the 360. Thank You.
