i was playin GHII and it glitched and froze, i turned it back on and all i got is the 3 red lights. i was pretty pissed. its sucks, cuz i was gonna go pick up skate tomorrow (ive played through the demo a good 50 times) and i have a preorder of halo 3, whihch im gonna cancel. man its pretty crappy. no 360 for like a month. and for anyone that has experienced sending it in to microsoft, was it pretty simple or did you have problems trying to get it fixed. i made a repair order on support.xbox.com and its being processed and im just worried its gonna be like a big problem to get it fixed

well if you want to play games while you wait for your box, you can always use the towel trick, worked for mine.

oh... I'm not sure if those have the new heatsinks... I recently got rid of my old 360 sold it on ebay and purchased one with a new heatsink before I got the red lights.... even though I know how to fix that problem I dont want to deal with it anymore
