Out of all of the days of the week, the worst thing so far, and by far this year has happend...Today i got the 3 red lights of doom.I sit hear, staring at them, blinking on and off. I truely never thought this would happen to me...

Today i took the day off from school. A close friend of my frineds died in a fatal car accident, along with another young man, and today is there funeral. So out of freind ship, i decide i should at least go and support the familys. I woke up, hopped in the shower, came down stairs figuring i would get some game in before i leave for a tragic event. And so...a tragic event happens before my eyes!!!As i enter a lobby in RB6, my game's screen suddenly becomes checkery.I pop in gears, the same thing occurs. I turn it on, off, on, off. Finnaly it decides to sit there, no Xbox360 logo screen or anything. Then there they blink...The 3 Red Lights of Doom....

So i sat, i took a video message, sent it to my pals in school, and all they could text me back was the words, "THREE RED LIGHTS ZOMG". One thing did save me from going over the edge, yesssss, a 1 year full warranty from Ebgames...thank jesus christ himself, i am saved...

Hey I'm sorry to hear about your personal news... But I kid you not the exact same thing happend to me on Tuesday, and the thing is my warranty is done because mine was a launch console. And I called the support number and it's gona cost me $168.00 bones!! (Canadian). I tried Gears Of War,Lost Planet, Fight Night R3, NBA 2K7, and they all freeze up. It really does suck, I just hope I can get a new console, with newer crap inside like the Ben-Q drive.

Did Jesus buy your warranty? Or was it your parents?

nope, it was I that bought the warranty. 40$ for a year,  if anything busts,you go back they give you a new one on the spot. i just hope i do get a new one, and not one that was made like last march or w/e. but im hopping i dont have to give them my harddrive for a newone..we'll see.

Damn 360, dont worry mine has bit the dust twice:(, I would like an apology from Microsoft to be honest, its a bit rediculous. Sorry about the personal news aswell, hopefully something good for you will happen soon:)

You turn the system on, off, on, consecutively? If so, there is your problem.
