So i go to turn on my xbox 360 tonight, and i get the 3 blinking red lights.

This is my 2nd console. My warranty is way up.

And i was all pumped up to get forza 3 tommrow.

How much am i gonna end up paying to fix it? :(

If your warranty is up then expect to pay up $100. :(

Sorry to hear your loss. It will cost about 100 bucks to get it fix and you will have to wait anywhere from 1-4 weeks to get it back. Once again sorry. But hey on the bright side atleast you will have Forza reved up and ready to be played once it comes back.

Wow, that really sucks. I remember when Forza 2 came out i was so hyped to play it and i did. A couple days after playing i turn my 360 on and had the three red lights. I was so pissed off and to top it off it was when Microsoft extended the warranty to 3 years so there was a huge influx of people sending there consoles in. Took 6 weeks to finally get my replacement.

it'd probably be cheaper to get an arcade version and just slap your HDD on that

pretty much because if it RROD's again that's another $100

so if you buy a new one you'll get a new 3 year warranty as well which IMO is worth another $100

That really sucks, hope it never happens to me, at least not now with all the outstanding games that're coming out in the next months!

I agree, i'd just chalk up the loss and get a new one. Brand new console and new warranty.
