I had to send my 360 in to Microsoft because it experience something like the Ring of Death. It came on for a minute and then after that, I could still use my 360 but it didn't have color. Anyway, I was just wondering if I can still get the Ring of Death after sending it in for repairs?

It depends on how they "repair it." For me, this happened a few years ago (2007) and the unit I got back was not the one I'd sent in. It was likely a refurbed/fixed unit, so my guess is that they have a repair queue and they just send you the first one that gets repaired rather than the one that's actually yours.

And considering how many people who have had experience with 2-3 RROD's and keep sending it back, it's definitely possible.

If a new one can get RRD a repaired one can get as well.
