You really need to remember if it was three or four red lights.

Four means your AV cables are/were loose. No big problems.

Three lights means an internal hardware error, and that is what's known as the Ring of Death. Even if your console has been working okay since you saw the three lights, it means the 360 is sick and will continue to get sicker. It will eventually die, I'm afraid.

So, as mentioned, the difference between three and four lights is pretty important.
