Guess who got the 3 RROD on their 360? Thats right, me. I've had it for over a year now and up until now it played fantastically, and I have kept it in relatively good condition with plenty of ventilation (although it WAS vertical), then two days ago i came home from lectures to beat the bejeesus out of some demons in Devil May Cry 4 and i got the fuzzy red screen and the 3 red rings.
Its funny how you think that something bad only happens to other people, never you, but this wasn't the case for me, unfortunately. I called Xbox customer support, and despite the 15 minute wait before i talked to a human, the guy i spoke to (from Lima!) was really helpful and it only took around 15 minutes to confirm the problem, my email, and my address, and get him to send me a shipping label. I was anticipating spending an hour on the phone and getting genuinely pi**ed off, but it all went smoothly.
All I can say is, hooray for Peter Moore extending the 3 RROD warranty for 3 years, because my standard warranty finished around a month ago. Now all I have to do is send it and wait...and wait...and wait...
Hopefully I'll get it back in time for Gears 2 :P
