are u always worried that someday your 360 will have 3 red lights?

in my case, I always think about it and hope every single day that my 360 will last forever ( but this is not gonna happen)

it;s stupid if i get 3 red lights while halo 3 will be released in couple days more. So, believe it or not, I dont touch my 360 untill halo 3 comes out. this is pathetic for me -_-

I ordered a 360 off ebay, and I already worry about it. The towel trick works for a temp fix, but who wants to do that every day or two?

No I don't worry about that every day. I play it whenI have time and have had no issues. Everything has a probabilty of breaking..

Hey. So you've bought the Best Buy warranty? If you didn't, then you'd have to send the system into Microsoft?

You eventually don't worry about it anymore, like after your 360 has broken three times. The second and third time being the three red lights, you get desensitized and numb.

I got my 360 at Best Buy and I made a huge mistake by not getting the warranty. My 360 got the RRoD in July, I sent it in on July 18th. I got my replacement back, had the RRoD the first time I touched the power button. Sent that in around August 29th. Now I have no 360 for Halo.I haven't even played a 360 since July. If I got the warranty none of this would have happened......

So the warranty is basically for convenience?

When you take it back and tell them your system is screwed up, they'll just take the system and tell you to get a new one?

Btw, how much is the Best Buy warranty?

Thanks. And to be clear, Microsoft will fix/replace your console, too if there are any problems with it? Since they started that 3-year warranty? Or is that warranty just for RROD?

OK, 3-year warranty for for RRoD only, everything else is still a year. Best Buy warranty is bascially for convienance because if it breaks you can take it back and get a new one off the shelf. And I won't send it to MS unless I have to because who knows what happens during shipping.

Thanks. That answers all of my questions about the warranty. =)

P.S. chaos4k, I think someone said in this topic that the Best Buy warranty is $60.
