Today i went to gamespot and bought Nascar 06 for the xbox (note not the 360) I put it into my xbox and it said that i need to download the update to play it on ym 360. So i go and download the update (from xbox.com), burn it to a CD, put it into my xbox and it runs the update. Then when i put Nascar 06 in it says that it needs to update. So i run the update again and it says that i already ran the update. I put Nascar in one more time and this time the xbox froze. I turned it off and tried again, and same thing. Then i wanted to see if i could get a normal 360 game to work so i put in NBA 2k6 (for the xbox 360) and i got the 3 red light error. Will Microsoft give me a new xbox 360 since it was THEIR UPDATE THAT BROKE MY MACHINE

Try taking your hard drive out and then turning on your 360 that might make it work, but I highly doubt you will get microsoft to fix your 360 for freeunless you are still under warrenty. Get ready to shell out over a 100 bucks if its not under warrenty

No, it's not the update the console has just broke down, if the 360 is still under warranty then send it to MS and they will fix it for free. If not look on ebay for a repair company or person to fix it as it will cost you less than MS will charge, I was glad to help no need to thank me.
