Everyone heard a while ago that 3year warranty came inplace. However, after the first year how much will it cost to repair your xbox if you get one red light in the bottom right sector after your first year has expired and it turns out to be a hardware failure?

Microsoft has the 3 red lights covered with a 3 year warranty. Although having a 1 or 2 red lights that ends up having a system failure and your warranty runs out it will cost a hundred dollars or so ($100+) for it to be repaired by microsoft.

1 red light means your video cable is unplugged. 2 red lights means its over heating.

Ive had mine since day one and its been perfect. I guess some people either dont look after it, have bad luck or like block it up or something to make it overheat

No, 4 red lights mean that the A/V cable is unplugged. 1 red light means a hardware failure and should say something like E74 or E66 or something.
