I have never been so mad in my life. My mom just got assassins creed and Mass Effect. I turn on my 360 AND I GET THE 3 red lights. So, I think my brother cause this because he put the 360 in his room and half of it was flat and the other half was up because it didnt fit on his dresser. Do you think this might have caused or made it worse to get the 3 red lights? I was so pissed i broke the case on my nhl 07 cause i threw it on the ground

Whoa, calm down. It's noones fault but Microsofts. They release faulty hardware, you can try your best to keep your 360 alive but face it, it'll die someday. Just like me and you.

Wait, you mean your brother was playing it while it ways "diagonal?" I don't think that could cause 3LOD but it definitely wasn't good for it.

It's understandable, it's why I keep more then 1 console in my house so I don't haveto worry. After Christmas i'll have all 3. But yeah, there really isn't a thing you can do about it i'm sorry your Christmas won't be as good as you hoped it would be but hey look at it this way, your still alive.

My console died when i bought halo 3. I wasnt that pisst off. I turned it in and they sent me a brand new system not even a refurbished system. So in the end it wasnt so bad i do not have to worry about the issue anymore. Just turn it in to microsoft get the new one and move on its not the end of the world.

If that is the worst thing that has ever happened to you in your life,

you are lucky.

If the 3 rings continue, call MS, they'll replace it.

Things happen, but I know this must be a bummer. Try reconnecting everything again but even if it starts do not think you are out of trouble. Contact Microsoft and set things in motion. But one good thing to remember. When you are back to normal, you have 2 great games to play. There are much worst things happening in this world, so keep a clear head.

My thoughts exactly....Sometimes I am disgusted when I read through these forums....Alright, That sucks....you can't play games for the holiday...OH WELL! Spend time with family maybe? You know....what the holidays are REALLY about...go out with friends? Buy someone else something maybe?

People are always complaining about how terrible it is and its the end of the world blah blah blah....coming from someone who's burried two parents and a mother-in-law....believe me.....be glad...there is A LOT worse that could happen.

sarmini

that is always my course of action. I've had mine since launch and I get the RRoD every once in awhile. Just turn it off, go take a shower (not with the 360), and then try again.

go to youtube and search for "360 towel trick". do that, it works. it should tide you over until you want to send your 360 in. this happened to me, and it didnt void my warranty.

I know how you feel. When I starting to get into mass effect I had the same issue and I won't have my system anytime soon. It happens and theres nothing one can do about it. Yes its sad, but life will go on. SOoner or later you will be able to play so it's not the end of the world.

Gamers Game...Fanboys Pick Sides.....

I want to play Mass Effect as well, but i will live.

Here is your solution;

Go to Walmart and buy a 360. Take it home and switch the internals.
Go get a refund.
The end, no more 3 rings.


Cleotis_max is right.

I think I have a new broken down system besides the red light errors. I have had to bring back my XBox 360 2 times to the store and then sent 1 out to Microsoft and got a referbished one back (all because of the red lights). And two weeks ago just playing GH 3 the picture of the game started to degrade and my system started making funny sounds, like it was reving up. I turned the system off though the menu and turned it back on and the green light circles around two times then after like 30 secs repeats and it is reving up like its trying to read a disc even with no disc in. I tried my wii and my ps3 and they work so its not my tv. I bought new video cables and it still does the same thing. So got to go redeam my warrenty at Game Crazy yet again, so even though my Ps3 cost more then my X360 when I got it, it has come to cost less because of having to buy 3warrenties and will have to buy yet another one.Well atleast Nintendo and Sony know how to make consoles.
