My Xbox gor the red lights awhile back, and I accepted that I wasn't going to be playing again for a good while. Not quite. First off, the process is as painless as possible, register your system, get a printed shipping label, boxher up,drop off the box and wait for the return. I dropped my system off tuesday afternoon, and got my xbox back on friday the week after. It was less than two weeks. Not bad IMO, everyo9ne I play with that hasn;t gotten RRoD was surprised at how quickly I was back to PwNing. Just wanted to share.

*** If this thing gets red lights a second time, I am just going to light it on fire.***

I would not say it's a good experience, I've had it 4 times.

Then I over heard them talking and heard (hey i think thats the RRoD is that i dont know just try resetting it. I got up quick went to my room and i witness it......the horror just pure horror and so i was on the phone with Microsoft While my friends play my new game isn't that wonderful hey but due to the inconvenience they gave me a option to one of their platinum Hits (Owww) or microsoft points. Took Longer than yours mine a little over a month to get home.

I got mine sent/repaired/sent back in a week. No hassles at all. Except I was lazy and put off sending my Xbox for 3-5 days...

I had an extended 3 year warranty for mine from the store I bought it from. I took it there when it red-ringed, they called me back in 2 weeks and gave me a brand new one. Never had to deal with Microsoft.

It's good they're getting faster about it. Still though, the best way to fly is the in-store warranty. I've had two systems go down, and was back gaming within an hour both times.

Even if the process of getting it back isn't to long I still don't think you could really consider it a good experience. It's an experience you shouldn't have to have to begin with. I've got RROD three times already and typically it takes around three weeks before I get it back.

RRod shouldnt happen at all. A big failure on microsofts part creating a generation of systems with almost a forty percentfailure rate.

What about the E74? Is that just as quick (sending mine off tomorrow)?
