I've gotten the 3 flashing lights three times now. If it happens again, they better not charge me to fix it, or I'll just buy a PS3 instead.UT_Wrestler
You can extend the warranty for $50 and it will be extended for two years. I believe it is $25 per year and you can only do this if your three year RROD warranty isn't expired,
I have had 1 ring of death. THe xbox i recieved, i'm not sure if its mine or what. However, this ring of death only happened in 2008, so thats a fairly good long time.
one out of three. my first 360 RROD, my second one E74. i'm on my third which is working fine. xscott1018
Same, got my first a little over 3 years ago. It lasted over a year. When I got the second from the repair center it already sounded like it was about to die but it lasted a year as well. When it died I got an elite and haven't had any problems with it at all.

Exactly what I did after my third one went down. Went out and bought myself a PS3 just to spite Microsoft, flash forward 6 months and I sold my PS3 and came crawling back to the 360 world.

I had hoped the elite wouldn't fry out on me but the one that went down on me today was an Elite.

You can extend the warranty for $50 and it will be extended for two years. I believe it is $25 per year and you can only do this if your three year RROD warranty isn't expired, I see no reason to do that. If microsoft didn't make such a crappy piece of hardware, I wouldn't need to buy one in the first place. I have an nes which was purchased over 20 years ago, has NEVER been sent to a repair center, and still works fine. Yet my 360 has broken down 3 times in less than 3 years.
I am about to send my Elite back to Ms with the 3 rings and I took excellent care of this platform and still it failed me, SO this is my first time after almost 2 years. And it annoys the crap out of me, So I have been playing my ps3. I was playing Bio-Shock and noticed a freeze or 2 and then stopped playing for the day, The next day playing Halo Wars and froze and then RRoD.

I agree, Ive owned nearly every console since Atari and NES and the only consoles that have broke on me are one ps1 and now 3 xbox360's. I love the 360's online and game selection, but the hardware/reliablility is very meh. Its wierd how my NES, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, xbox,ps2,atari,etc.. are still working.
