10/07/2008: That's right, after a particularly good run Brian Crecente had another Xbox 360 die on him. This time a debug unit.
While the instances of Xbox 360 red rings have certainly dropped, he still heard stories about the console's DVD player giving up the ghost. That's what happened to him in July last year when his last 360 died and that seems to be the case this time around. He was playing the end of LEGO Batman The Videogame when the game paused and a "dirty disc" error popped up on the screen. A few more runs at playing the game allowed him to get a few minutes in before the console crapped out on him again.
