Anyone else remember those old Dilbert strips where Dogbert put on the ridiculous napkin-hat, picked up a vaguely-dog’s-head-shaped scepter and declared himself Saint Dogbert, the Patron Saint of Technology? Yeah, we all had a good laugh over those, but somewhere, I think somebody’s Xbox 360 got touched by the hand of Dog…bert…very recently.

I read about this over at the Planet Xbox 360 forums–the story’s simple enough: while playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2, someone’s Xbox 360 starts sputtering and then goes into full-bore red ring arrest. A couple frantic calls to Microsoft and, sure enough, the coffin’s on its merry way as has happened to so many of us. Well, this is where the story gets strange. The fella in question waits ten minutes and tries again–only to discover that the 360 is now, somehow, operating like nothing went wrong.

Color me all sorts of amazed. I can’t recall the last time I heard about a 360 coming back, spontaneously, from the depths of red ring hell, but any time it happens it’s an inspiration to us all.

Let us all celebrate the psuedo-miraculous healing of the Xbox 360 with Xbox 360 trivia on Kwanzoo!
