Red Ring...
So the other night, I'm playing Rainbow Six: Vegas, and the screen goes crazy and colorful. I turn it off, and when I boot it back up, I get the red lights.
Here is the catch:
The ring, isn't a ring. It's just the one light, not the 3. I also get the "E74" error screen.
Now, I have two options.
(1) I can ship it back to Microsoft, to get it fixed. Is this going to happen again, after they replace it with one of their refurbished consoles?
(2) I still have the PRP (Product Replacement Plan) through Best Buy. I can supposedly walk in and out, with a new XBOX 360, my old hard drive, and some cash in hand for the difference.
Problem:
We have had several issues with the Best Buy located near me, as of late. They would not honor their warranty on a GPS system, after it had already been purchased. I have read many horror stories online, about the Best Buy issues, but none of the previous threads here, have mentioned it being a problem.
Also, from some of my research, I have read that Best Buy, no longer honors the PRP on the 360 consoles, as of March '09.
Another thing, is that I have heard that Microsoft, "fixed the problem" with a new "chip". Is this true? Has anyone had a problem, after the new chip was released?
One final thing, if, I go to Best Buy, and get a new XBOX as a replacement for my system, do I get a new 3-year warranty with Microsoft? Or does it continue on, as if it was the same system, leaving me roughly a year and a half?
