There's four quadrants on your xbox 360. If three out of the four are flashing red you have the Red ring of death. After you get it you need to call microsoft and then you'll get a box so you can ship it to them. The RROD isn't as common as it used to be and you get a three year RROD warranty as well as a 1 year pretty much any other failure warranty. I looked at your blog since it'll be a while before you get an Xbox 360 wait until the new Jasper equipped Xbox 360's start getting made if you're too worried about the RROD. Although you shouldn't be since it's failyre rate is a lot lower than it used to be.

The only ring of death to be worried about is a Engagement ring, that is the ring of death...

Also keep your Xbox cool that helps alot, otherwise your Xbox will get hotter than Keeley Hazells new music video...

If you look near the top of the screen in the X-Box 360 Forum, there's a sticky on the RROD.....that'll tell you all you need to know- that and check www.wikipedia.org and type in X Box 360 to the search box therein. All the info is there.
