I've had my 360 since July 2006, its only locked up maybe 6-10 times in the hundreds to thousands of hours I've played it. So this is why I'm not too sure whats going on, just today for the first time I got the 3 lights flashing when I boot up my 360. All I was doing today with it was playing some Soul Calibur 4...

It looks like this image here...

I've unplugged it a few times, no luck starting it up. The only difference from normal is I plugged my PC and consoles into a 450 watt UPS backup surge protector, about 3 days ago.

I could return it, I got an in-store warranty for 3 years until July 2009... but I was hoping there was something else I could do first (without voiding warranty). Can't believe this happened to me, I used to laugh at all the people who posted about these things.

I'd send it in...why?

you could trade it back to the store but you lose all your save games.

I dont know much about RROD but whatever you do DONT do the towel trick. It just destroys the xbox. Mebbe you could keep the hard drive and give the xbox back? Mebbe.....Mebbe.....
