Well it finally happened.......................I went to play R6V2 last night to get some achievements and the game asked for the auto-update so I did that and the game rebooted then froze at the title screen. WTF!!! I turned it off and now have RRoD!

I have had this 360 for almost 2 years with NO problems at all. I just can't believe that an update would brick my console!!

So I call MS customer support and they were really easy to deal with and took only 5 minutes to get through the process.

However, since I need instant gratification I went to Best Buy and bought an Elite (I was gonna buy the 120gb HD anyway at some point). I just wish the data transfer kit came with my Elite so I didn't have to wait to fully utilize my bigger HD. So I guess when I get my 20gb 360 back from MS in a month or so I'll sell it or trade it in.

I wouldn't be mad if I got the RRoD from overheating or something but if an update bricks your console that's just ridiculous!!!
