Red ring basically means "You're fucked"

I got them once.I was going to buy a new one then microsoft starting fixing them for free.So just call them up and they will send you a new one in a few weeks even if you don't have a warranty.

Well, the red rings don't mean that its completly broke, try restarting it or turning it off for a while then start it again. THOUGH if you get a green screen and the red rings then you got a problem.

Another one huh?
I understand it's happened so much that they're offering a 3-year warranty on top of the one-year, just for that problem specifically.

Either way, both of the "big 2" are releasing new versions of their current consoles (I should have the official scoop on what's going on with sony by tuesday, they had an "event"), hopefully the problems with both of 'em will be sorted out.

If people would take proper care of their equipment they wouldn't have to moan about microsoft or sony. They run hot, don't put them on the floor or surrounded by clothes. Same goes for the power supply which I'm sure a lot of people just toss behind the tv where it gets the hottest...

If you have the 3 red lights on your xbox call microsoft, it's under a 3 year warranty.

Your'e talking out of your ass. I had two 360's both got red rings. The 3rd replacement they sent me i sold on ebay. My buyer contacts me two days later & says hes got the rings of death. This problem is well publicised & M$ know all about it. Industry estimates a 33% or higher failure rate with 2nd generation 360's. Out of 11 of my mates 7 of them have had problems i suppose all of them hav'nt taken care of their consoles?

Yeah, from what I've heard it's a manufacturing fault/kink

Had one in the beginning, returned it to BestBuy but kept my hard drive. Lost nothing at all. I don't think there's been a system since the Dreamcast that I haven't had problems with as an early adopter. The PS2, XBox, and 360 have given me problems while the PS3 has troubled my brother. Hmmmm, actually, nobody I know with a Wii has had a problem. SOME people do cause the problem themselves by placing the power supply on carpet or almost encasing their 360 in their entertainment center but trust me, it's not all the users fault. I had my first 360 on top of my entertainment center in open air with the power supply on its own shelf with a small fan blowing on it. Still got the RRoD.
