Thumbs down I have ridiculously bad luck

I played my 360 last night and then went to sleep. I woke up this morning and turned it on to find the red ring of death. I try all the cables to make sure it wasnt a simple error like that and no help. So I have to send in my 360. I have a PS3 that I mostly just use for bluray DVD's so I go out and rent some games for it. I was mad that my 360 wasnt working but I at least still have a PS3 that will get me through Christmas with the family in town for a week and a half. I come home with Assassin's Creed, and Lair eager to try them out. I play for about 10 minutes on Assasin's Creed and then leave to go to my girlfriends house. After I get home tonight from watching the UT game I turn on my PS3 and decide to play Madden and download an update for it. It restarts itself and then when it comes back on it makes weird noises and a message on my screen says "Hard Disk Failure". I turn it on and back on trying anything i can think of to get it to work at no avail. So I had 2 systems go down in the last three times I've turned a system on. Terrible luck. Keep me away from your game console.

Were you playing COD 4? That game gets loud some with the 360.
