Problem is any problem is just going to get worse over time. My first 360 had disc read errors every few days. Then hours. Then Min and I sent it in. Second was the RROD every once in a while, but it never goes away. third was a wouldn't turn off or on easily. Could eventually get it to work after 4 - 5 tries until it just got to the point of not working anymore.

Wow..after the 3rd time, I think it's time for them to replace it w/ a new one.

It may work now, but most likely it'll stop working for good in the near future.

I've had it once. But all I did was restarting the machine and it has worked ever since.

i'm on my fourth, 2 times had RRod and once the disk drive was broken (although it still gave Red rings on it too). after so much crap like that in 2 years i think we deserve more compensation than just getting it fixed free, how about free xbl haha. you just need to get it sent in cause it will get worse with time.

You didn't get the 3 rings of red lights, You most likely got the 4 rings which indicates your A/V cable has a loose connection. I've had that happen to me. When I got the 3 red lights, I turned my console on and off, reset all the connections for 10 minutes but it did nothing.
