So I got the red ring last night on my 360… JLee and Lucidsnow happened to be there. Is this too much of a coincidence? ---

Go buy one from Walmart, pay cash. Swap consoles. Go return. Have fun. ---

Would this be a better alternative to sending it back to MS? I made a call last night and they’re sending me a self-addressed box, so I just have to send it to them to fix it then they’ll send it back. ---

Hmm, I guess you could do that. I guess you still have warranty on it? ---

i think the red ring of death is covered for 3 years. I’ve had to friends send theirs back and got new ones. One guy accidentally got 2 360s sent back to him…lol ---

yeah they extended the warranty on them in Canada and they dont even ask for any receipt… just give them the serial number and a ups box will come to your door so you can slap it in there and send it in… i also know someone who got two of them back by mistake… he just had to get the cables, hdd and faceplate ---

Thanks for the feedback. Moral of the story: don’t let 2 chinese guys near your 360 if they don’t know what they’re doing. J/K dudes! 🙂 ---

Or just do what Mark said… lol My Bad… Deffinetly just saw that everyones covered what i said 😛 lol ---

I’m a PS3 guy. I knew the thing was sketch cause at the 360 launch in '05 it locked up on PGR. Is this ever going to be fixed? We were just talking about this at work today. One guy has had 4 replacements and the other 3 after less than 6 months…seriously. ---

My buddy bought 25 units and 8 of them right out of the box were red light. He exchanged them at the “store” or where ever he got them, tested them out and they were fine. They sat in boxes and a few weeks later 3/8 that he exchanged showed red lights and one kept freezing a few seconds after playing the game. Not to mention numerous people who bought off him got the red light and complained. He refunded most of them…luckily one guy that he did refund was a cop because that guy said when he came to return it “Im glad your trustworthy and refunded me because im a cop” I love xbox only because of the controllers. I cant stand using the analog controls on PS3, my thumbs cant reach comfortably while firmly grasping the controller. ---
