XBox 360 - Ring of death

[Kardan]

Some of you may remembered I got a free XBox360 and PSP when I bought two mobile phones. Well my XBox has had the 4 green lights turn into red lights... After restarting a couple of times, I went to the web and found this:
Four lights - Something wrong with the cables etc
Three lights - Hardware failure (Or as the people on the web say: 'The 3 red lights of death')
Two lights - Overheated
One light - System Error

And I just happened to get 3 red lights. So yeah, My XBox has had it, going to call up customer support in a second...
And if they can't fix it, I have to ship it over to MicroSoft.

Sorry if in wrong section by the way. :rolleyes:

microsoft want to do something with it to imrove the system. It was on bbc not long ago about how many of the customers have had hardware failure after a few months. Have you got insurance for it?

Yeah... At least I won't have to pay for a new console...

good, because microsoft are giving out any compensation for thier crappy consoles. Usually you would have to pay about £85 to get it fixed

Yeah, mine constantly over-heated. It's currently in for repairs, I miss it like hell. I'm really bored without it.

My games crash alot, but no red rings, the xbox 360 in my local game shop has red lights, so that can't be good.
