hey guys,

my console was working fine until after the update and now i have the 3 flashing lights and i tried all the troubleshooting tips. i called them and told them ive had a 360 since day 1 and this has happened to me once before and im sick of it.  they then told me my warrenty is up and i need to pay 100 and something dollars which i think its insane. 

after thinking about  it for a while, and realizing the halo 3 beta is coming in a couple days, i decided maybe buying a new one from walmart then switching harddrives and returning my old xbox..has anyone had any experiences with this??

Considering how many 360s break.  I'm sure Walmart has seen plenty of this and tracks the serial number on the unit bought these days.  Either that or all they have to do is look at your manufacture date of 2k5 and know its not one of theirs.

mine works just fine after the update, I happen to know ^^^ is right Walmart does track serial numbers much more now, due to so many thefts, oh and in case your wondering I have a family member who works at walmart so that's where i got the info
