Mine red ringed me just as I turned it on to play some music before jumping in bed with the lady.
I Freaked out, three rings, I counted it several times.
I took everything off of it, reconnected it, took out the disk and everything,
Eventually, It worked again, making me all happy on the inside, I believe this is the second time this has happened in 6 months, I have confidence yet.
360, I love you.

I like the comment about the pawn shop. Although that is where i got mine and i still expect it to work. I got the three rings of death and they fixed it for free. now i have a new question. Mine is giving me a disk read error. What the hell do i do?? call ms and this time they are going to charge me $100 bucks to fix this. that is a hock of shit… Any fix to this?

Somthing has to be done about this. I just bought Assissins Creed and the game kept freezing up couldn’t even make it to the first save point. disconnected all the cables took the hard drive off, tried other games kept freezing. One day later I go to turn it on (hoping) 3 red rings. Microsoft will never come out and give the actual numbers to this problem, not only because of the fear of repair cost but the the fear of losing future new gamers. How can we legaly handle this wide spread problem.

Mine just got the three RROD this morning. I bought Assassins Creed a couple of days ago, it updated, worked fine for 3 days and this morning it just stopped working.

Perhaps this is related to overheating… but I have played for hours on this 360 in the past with no issues. Last night I played for about 3 hours, no lock ups or other issues.

Tried all the known fixes and none of them work. When I called MS they said my box is covered under the warranty (3 year extended), and are sending me a pre-paid shipping box but it won’t be here for 7 business days, and it will be up to 30 days before I receive a replacement… which means the whole holiday season is shot for me this year (as far as the 360 goes).

this is rediculous. playing GRAW2 and it freezes and i get the 3/4 red ring… is this because of certain games that screw up the 360 or is it more the system just breaking down. ive had trouble before with nhl08, but not like this…

I just got a new Xbox 360 today. 3 weeks ago my Xbox 360 of 3 months old (bought the end of June 2007) Red Ringed on me. And today Oct 13th not even 5 hours old the new one Red Ringed on me again. This is no joke and I am pissed. What is up with microsoft. I thought companys are suppost to test and back up the products they sell. I feel I just bought a box of crap….Good luck to eveyone using microsoft’s products.

Now im not a n00b when it comes to gaming, i play for hours on end sometimes. this most recent “console update” sent my system into a cataclysmic shock. i had never had problems with my beloved white box before this, however, i did get freezing gears of war. I freak out start calling microsoft going through the bullshit and then they tell me to ship it to them. i said hell no, but i did some troubleshooting and kept getting the three red lights. i found a quick fix, and i even bought an intercooler that blows from the bottom, and it still took a gigantic shit all over Halo 3. i reboot. nothing now im waiting for my new paperweight to come back.. Fucking microshaft.
