So I got the infamous 3 red lights of doom but I have been reading on hear and thought it would happen eventually. So I called microsoft and they told me all the info. Well today I got what the paper said was a new xbox 360 though it was fishy cause it had black marks on it.

Well, anyway so I get on Gears I play one game and then all of a sudden my 360 restarts. So I tried to play again and it wouldnt read the disk so I tried to take it out and the tray wouldnt respond at ALL! Well I called support and they are sending me a box so I can send them the console without me having to pay. But I am getting very restless and people havent been complaining about the other console like this so... Do u think my 3rd box will finally work or am I cursed or something?

I'm on my 4th console, so I know all about this.  My first replacement did not work at all so I immediately sent it back.  Basically, the replacement consoles they send you are other people's broken consoles "repaired." Problem is that they do not do a very good job of repairing them.  Eventually you will get one that works.  Just be patient.  My latest console has been fine for almost a year now.  If yours breaks again ask them to compensate you with a free game or something.  I got the 2 year extended warranty and a game both for free since I had so many defective consoles.
