|  Call of Duty 4 Killed My Xbox... Again

This is getting ridiculous. Last night my second Xbox 360 peed red in my eye. After an extremely long and exhausting Christmas with the fam, I couldn't wait to get home and play my Xbox 360. But nooooo! Seconds into my first Call of Duty 4 multiplayer match the game freezes and my controller spasms like an overclocked vibrator. I turn the console off and back on, not at all surprised to see my second Red Ring of Death. What did I do to deserve this? I paid for the console. I buy all Microsoft Game Studios first-party games. I love the expensive, yet wireless headset. I spend at least $15 a week on South Park episodes and XBLM videos. So WTF?!
How many Xbox 360s have you gone through? Has anyone traded a friend for a PS3?
If you didn't read how my first Xbox 360 died, here's the story.
I ignored the numerous complaints on forums everywhere. I thought my Xbox 360 was invulnerable. It turns out I wasn't so fortunate. Master Chief annihilated my 360.
At the end of a particularly shitty day, I decide to treat myself to an evening of delicious deep-dish pizza and round after round of Halo 3 into the wee hours of the morning. I call up my friends to make sure they have nothing else going on and to meet me online. Here we go; I load up the game and send out the invites.
With a mouthful of chicken-pesto pizza and a matchmaking lobby full of my friends, I'm mid-sentence into something deep and philosophical when I realize the game has froze. No big deal, I think to myself, this happens all the time, especially with Halo 3 which is already a problem. I wait a minute hoping the game will come to like it occasionally does, but nothing happens. I press the Xbox guide button. Nothing happens.
With no other options, I press the console on/off button and there it is, staring me red in the face: The Red Ring of Death. It might as well be the black spot. How could this happen to me? I feel like a chronic smoker diagnosed with lung cancer. A mother who just had a miscarriage.
Anyways, I'm pissed off. My first-generation PS2 still plays games like Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Guitar Hero, and Metal Gear Solid 3 without a hiccup.
