Ok all i want to know is there a way to get the RROD because i am just out of warranty on my 360 and it overheats and it will cost to fix it but if i get the 3 lights i am still within the 3yr. free fix.

Yes, there are many ways..but I think you should do the morally correct thing and pay the fee.

haha your funny why would you pay, they dont fix it they just send you another one thats going to break down again. I would try to make it over heat by letting it sit on carpet or towl so it overheats

The same thing happened to me, but I got the replacement plan at best buy, so instead of paying 100 bucks to get it fixed, I got to switch it out with a new one with hdmi and got 50 dollars back because of the price drop.

Do what those 360 fanboys did to the PS3s! And no, I'm not a PS3 fanboy. I actually hate PS3... just... not enough to go blow seven hundred dollars so I can smash stuff...

Just stand at the ready with a fire extinguisher and everything will be fine or plug your 360 up outside, just to be sure.

Hell no, especially because Microsoft would treat it exactly the same as a red light console and simply throw it on a pile and send you a refurbished unit.
