I thought MS extended the warranty to 3 years for RoD breakdowns.

What are you talking about? (Harddrive has nothing to do with the 3 ring error or any warranty).

Go call MS & they will fix your 360.

MS will repair it and ship it for free. I just got the "coffin" today and there is a prepaid return label on it so you don't have to pay for anything. The MS warranty extension applies to ALL 360s. Even if you bought yours right on launch day you'd still be covered until November 2008, so you are NOT screwed. you might get lucky and get a whole new xbox all together

There's no way you are out of warranty. Just phone and send it in.
