I have bad news. This is what my Xbox did hours before I saw 3 red rings.

I was just asking because some EA games have light stains in the cd and it make the game dont work. I think you disc drive is starting to mess up. It start with one game but later it happens to all the games.

nothing to do with red rings, its the dvd lazer being broken. id install the games to the hd and play them, but before that i would take my xbox back to the store if its under warranty. you odds on had a faulty dvd drive as well as 3 red lights as the 2 aint connected

just phone up say you got 3 red lights and they ask what colour light is on your power brick, tell them the normal colour that appears when its on. green i think??? check. and they will send out a courier to pick up your xbox and they will fix every fault wrong with it at the service centre. as the centres are contracted out and the only check for warranty for repair is on the initial phone call so you can take advantage and get other faults fixed by lying and saying 3 red lights and they still fix it, ive done it and so have several of my friends, i had faulty dvd and also done it again for e74 both out of the 1 year warranty

OK I went back to the store and they said nobody else had come back with a copy, so i ogt another copy to try it out and i have the same problem. All 3 copies i got had the same crease in the manual and the box wwas slightly crumpled, so i'm going to go get a refund and buy it at another branch of the store in another town.
