Two weeks ago...my xbox gave me the 3-red-ring of death. Microsoft wanted to charge me $150 because it was already out of warrenty (at the time). So I took it upon myself to open it up and try to fix it after reading around. In the process I had to rip off that warrenty sticker. Needless to say, BAM, I had a working xbox...

This morning it died completley. Moore says the warrenty got extended 3 years, but I ripped off that good ol' void sticker.

Now you must make a choice to buy a brand new, fix it yourself, or get something else that doesn't die as fast (other consoles).

Make sure your AV cable is plugged into the 360 because that gives the red ring. I started freaking out when i saw it, but then found out i just forgot to plug in all the components lol.

how far off does that tape need to be to void the warranty? i got about a quarter of the way down before it clicked as to what it was. so i've never opened the console, but if beaurocracies reign supreme, they might void my warranty out of spite. i hope not...

Just to update you guys...rather then buy a new 360 I just bought me a 22 inch flat screen monitor.

Hey I owed it to myself, Ive been on CRT for over 20 years.

my 360 died about 3 weeks ago and when i called to have it repaired, the lady told me it would be 150 bucks to fix.just like your situation. but instead of being cheap i agreed to pay. after setting the repair up, the lady came back and said they are fixing it for free. this was before they announced the 3 year warranty. did you really think you could fix a 360 yourself?
