Red Ring of Ragnarok

This whole, '11 thing is messing me up.
  So last weekend, Friday, I was obsessively refreshing my Amazon account to see if Red Dead Redemption had been delivered yet. It did, and I got home that evening to boot up the game and allow badassery to commence. I was trying to be calm and not rush into it, I even finished my Twitter blog! I get my xbox 360 set up and whatnot, load the game into the system, get it installing the update off the CD aaaaaand... Error 79. I looked it up, I played around with the thing, and the best I could come up with was Youtube telling me to basically tear it to shreds and rebuild a ghetto Million Dollar Man at the cost of 20 cents. The thing is shot and I'm pretty sure the fans are dying, so I put it on eBay and got a new one. It's fancy, because they put the fan on top where it hopefully won't get blocked, which you think would have been a good idea in the first place. The price also came down by almost a hundred bucks and it's got 230 more gigabytes. I'm not trying to sell the 360, I just like how this is 3 years later, and I'm probably a year or so away from the next xbox system. The trouble is, I can't imagine what I'm going to do with 230 more GB. I wasn't even close to filling the first hard drive. Also, I've developed a ridiculous case of pre-buyer's remorse. I don't regret buying the console, I like it, it's just that I'm worried that I'll develop buyer's remorse. Because that is how I roll.
