If it happend once it will happen again and the next time it will be permannet, so just play a game that you have already beaten and let it come back then just send it in. When you get your 360 back or when they send you a new one just finish halo 3.

Which lights lit up? Sometimes you get a full ring if the game freezes. I had this issue with my 360 but it wasn't the rrod it was a differnt patter and was a harddrive error, all I had to do was replace my harddrive and the problem was solved. I recommend to check the lights or the error message and then compare it to MS support tips online to figure out what you rporblem is before youh decide to send your console away for repairs

I fixed mine myself, and did not do the towel trick. It cost about $10, and took only a few hours

The reason for the RLOD is because after time the motherboard warps and looses contact. It was a faulty design. There is a very siimlple solution to re-enforce it again with a few bolts and washers. But, if you attampt to do this yourself, your warranty will be void.
