So I'm now waiting for my 360 to be shipped back to me from Texas after being repaired and I'm just curious to hear what game you were playing right before your 360 Red Ringed

My first red ring occured about an hour after opening Mass effect on release day

My Second red ring happened last week wright after picking up Fabel 2 at CC for 60% off

How about you Guys?

I was playing CoD2 when my first 360 red-ringed. It sucked because it was during summer school, and it was the only thing keeping me occupied.

I was playing Skate 2 trying to get the last few retail acheivements. Now i'm at the "repair in progress" part of the whole Texas thing. How long does it take them to actually repair it after they have received the console?

First was on Dec 4, 07. Right after I hit lvl 60 in ME during my 13th playthrough. Damn unlucky numbers. Second was on Dec 6th 08, halfway thru Far Cry 2. Still don't have that one back yet. Oh well, started PC gaming again anyway.

well when it happened to me i wasnt playing a game. i was playing thp8 and my mom turned it off cuz i wasnt playing it. i got pissed cuz my xbox (original xbox) messed up on me cuz i always left my games in it when it wasnt on so im always wary of it. anyways the next day i turned it on and got 3 or 4 rings of death. my dad sent it in to get fixed though, never had a problem since except a few freezes here and there. although i got all 4 rings a number of months ago but it turned out that cable you plug into the tv was disconnected from my 360 lol. seriously though, never leave games or dvd's in your 360 when its not being used it'll mess it up ;) . it shouldnt be a prolem if your just restarting it real quick if the game has frozen or something.

o wait, i think it happened once after that, it was from a patch/update burnt cd my friend let me borrow so you can play old xbox games.

I sent my xbox to be repaired on 2/20 and I'm scheduled to recieve it on 3/3. So it should usually take around 2-3 weeks

It was a dark and not so stormy night when i sat down to lay waste to as many people I could lay my crosshairs upon in the land of Fallout 3 when I was brutally assaulted by the menacing glow of those three evil red lights that shown from my console like smoldering embers straight out of the laughing maw of Hell!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain... Sometimes I think that all of the 360's in the world became self-aware and decide to red ring on us just when we want to play them the most

I've never experienced the RROD and I've had mine for about a year now.

I use a USB mini fan, which is for a laptop and have that setup behind it. Whenever I play the Xbox, I plug that sucker in.

I also wipe it down and always keep it covered with a wash cloth after I'm done playing it.

I tend to try to take care of my things and since I've heard about the RROD, I take super care of my Xbox 360.
