Here's the scenerio:

I was playin' Call of Duty 2with my brother when half an hour later I had to go to mow the lawn. I turn off my 360 and all of a sudden i get "The Ring of Death"!! I was soooo pissed off! I tried to trouble shoot. I tried to turn it on again and and the ring came up again. About 20 minutes later my brother wanted to try one last time and it worked!! My question is Should I Keep my 360 or send it back and get a new one?

depends on how long you have left on your warranty, if you have a while then you can afford to wait

Well, I got it on exactly April 22, 2007 at 1:07PM (I still have the Recept) At Circuit City. When I asked about the warranty, the dude said that it would last a year but I wasn't sure if he was tellin' the truth. On the back of the Recept it said that I had 30 Days for a refund or exchange of the product.

Microsoft gives you a one year warranty. You can also purchase an extension from them. If it dies on you, then they will send you a "coffin" with a return label so you can ship it out to them and have it repaired. In my experiences with that, they are usually pretty quick about getting your system back to you.

At exactly 3:55PM (Eastern Time) the same thing happened to me again. I was playin' Call of Duty 2(again...), but my brother wanted to see how hot the 360 got (I was playin' for about 45 minutes. Maybe it's because my room is hot that it happened again) so he lifted up the 360 for an inch to put his hand under itand it shut off. I waited about 20 minutes again, turned it on,and it worked!!

I don't mean to sound like an assbaseballkid7, but I don't think it was a hiccup.

I'mgoing to sendit back now.
