Hey everyone, here we go - round one of NinjaScript (short for "JavaScript Ninja") training! Today, I'm going to keep this relatively brief, hopefully this weekend I'll be able to put together a more solid structure for this series (bare with me). The topic is the basic JS if/then structure. Why? Because nearly every book and site that teaches beginning JS does this incorrectly, well, it's not wrong, but there is a better way to do this. Let's take a look ...

Surprisingly, my issue was not the dreaded Red Ring of Death! You see, I have experienced a hardware failure that transcends the red lights; a failure that no one I know has experienced. Perhaps I was right in my false-beliefs, maybe I truly did pick a rare Xbox 360. What I have experienced is the "water color" issue, which eventually brought on the death of my display.

With my broken-heart, I contacted Microsoft support, in hopes that they would be able to offer some insight into my situation. To my sorrow, I received a generic troubleshooting email response, which was nothing more than a path that lead to the inevitable "repair request" screen. Shortly thereafter, I found myself at an impasse - do I spend $100 on the out-of-warranty repair cost? Or do I spend $200 on an Xbox 360 Arcade, slap my current 360 hard drive on it and call it a day?

At first glance upon this choice, it sounds like a no-brainer, "why spend $200, when you could spend $100?" It is true, the cost alone is a significant "con" in the list of pros/cons, but there are other factors here; one which has finalized my decision: Jasper.
