New Baby coming Friday

For my clan members that haven't seen too much of me online in the last couple of weeks, I have been busy getting ready for the new baby.  My wife is scheduled for a c-section Friday morning.  I took off work starting tomorrow so I was planning on getting in as much Rainbow Six Vegas (new maps) tonight and tomorrow as possible.  I got to play for 15 minutes.......

Before leaving for work this morning, I downloaded the new Rainbow Six maps.  Came home and fired up the xbox.  I kept getting some weird artifacts on the screens on a couple of the maps and it was really hard to see.

I rebooted and I get the same thing only on a few maps.

So I go online and search google to see if anyone else is seeing this type of issue.  Nothing to be found.  I boot back up and now I get the issue on Any HD content, videos, games, everything but the dashboard.  I had an extra HD cable so for shits and grins I try it.  Same thing.  I try the second composite port on my TV same thing.

I turn the unit off for an hour or two and grab dinner.  Turn it back on and.....Red Fucking Light

I call MS and they are going to repair for free (which suprised me because I purchased it on 1/1/06, I remember the date because I was at Walmart at 6am when they opened)

I really wanted to play tonight and tomorrow because I won't have time for the next few weeks (which at least makes this a perfect time to send in for repair). 

 Oh well.  I will have a much better time introducing my 21 month old to her new baby sister anyway.
