If you get this (all quadrants but top right/second lighted), this simply means that your console is overheated. This came up on my 360. I shut it off for a few hours, moved it to a better-ventilated area, and elevated the power brick. The problem has since disappeared entirely. For more information on what the quadrants mean, you can visit this link: http://editorials.teamxbox.com/xbox/1651/The-Red-Ring-of-Death/p1/ 'As mentioned, each quadrant on the set of flashing red lights indicates a different issue. If all of the lights but the first section are flashing, this means a general hardware failure has occurred. There is little to be done other than trying to unhook and reattach your cables. This problem is a sure sign a visit to the repair center is in your console's future. If the problem is indicated in the second quadrant of the system, it is merely overheating. As too many hours of GRAW will do that to a unit, the proposed cure here is to unplug the unit from the power supply, let it sit to cool down, and perhaps begin scouting for a better location to store your precious investment.
A problem indicated in the third quadrant of the Xbox 360 ring of light is diagnosed as a hardware failure. Once again, try re-inserting all of your cords and cables, but this problem should definitely be dealt with by the repair center. If all four lights are flashing on the front of your console, this is perhaps the easiest problem to fix. This is an issue with the AV cable not being properly inserted into the back of the console. The cure? Just make sure the cord "clicks" once it has been inserted into the unit. If that doesn't work, of course call the repair center, but the four lights are the easiest of the problems to rectify. " Hopes this helps some people.

360's hardware is considerably better
PS3's may be more powerful but it's not optomized well

You know what that is? It's HARDWARE failure.
General hardware failure, specifically. I feel like I am on a first name basis with the RRoD I've seen it so much.
Actually, that picture indicates that the 360 is overheated. A general hardware failure is indicated by all but the first quadrant lighting up red. Just thought I'd point that out in case anyone here gets it so that they can attempt to fix it.
