Just now I went to play some 360 and when I powered it on, I got some flashing red lights.  So the next thing on my mind was "OH HELLZ NO!!!!".  After a couple of mins cursing my 360 and Microsoft for that matter I formulate a plan to see about this gruesome event.  I calls up the 1-800 service number hoping I get someone on the line I can understand and is not a total idiot.  So finally I get Janice and I inform her of the goings-on.  She ways it's not a hardware a problem and is the result of an AV problem.  So while she's talking I unplug and replug in the AV, ensuring that it's properly seated, and viola:  we are back in business.  All praise the Xbox gods.

So remember kids, 4 continuous flashing red lights does not spell doom, check your cables.  Don't call CS sounding pretty stupid like good ol' mat2g.

{raspy old voice} Why back when I was a little boy, we had 4 rings of red light pop on if the AV cables were improperly seated. {/raspy old voice}

You should have read the manual that came with the 360 first before calling anyways. It tells you what all the lights mean, you could've fixed it yourself.
