that's weird. never happened to me before. I don't know of any home remedies to try. if you can't find a solution AT ALL, just send it in to MS. :D

Hey, you might not be able to rely on the box itself but at least Microsoft are fairly helpful in getting things sorted out again for you :P

I would count this as a good thing, as i have wanted mine to get red lights now.

So the chances of me getting red lights when all the big games come out won't happen, as last year i got red lights when all the big hitters came out.

And i got it just as GTA came out as well, and now i have a bad feeling that i will get it again for the 3rd time when something i want comes out.

lol true, when it first happened where there were no lights at all i actually said to my wife if it had been the red lights then at least MS would have fixed it. KInda glad it turned out to be RROD, three weeks of no 360 is better than no more 360!!

Man, I am sorry to hear the news. My old one broke a year ago.

Just remember you'll have the new system in time for Gears 2, Fable 2, Banjo 3, Halo 3 expansion, and all the other multiplat goodness.

BTW, if you do have cash, trade in your old xbox for like 80 bucks, and cough up the rest for the newer 60 gig pro. But yeah, I did that becasuse my xbox died 10 days before the big Halo 3 release. I acted fast, got a Halo xbox, and sinc ethen it's been working brilliantly.

Well unfortunatley theres no cash floatin around atm, i got a baby on the way in a few months, so this is why im glad it'll be fixed for free, otherwise i couldn't have afforded to get another one!
