If you bought it new, Microsoft should fix it under warranty shouldn't they? I thought they were covering for 3 years now?

mine has happend twice...warrenty fix both times
going strong now tho *fingers crossed*
red ring, basicly the one and only problem with the 360 is caused by the motherboard flexing and cracking the solders on either the cpu or the gpu.
3rd revision 360's came with a different heatsink/fan combo which was supposed to stop this, it didnt.
if you have red ring, strip the xbox, everything down to mobo on your desk, cover the plastics with alfoil and get a heat gun on there for a few minutes.
this one has gone, literally within minutes
i can fix xbox's. i cant install watercooling, due to massive amounts of bad luck.
bad luck and impatience, sweaty hands and slippy screw drivers

get a xbox vga cable. Much much miles better than component
agree, I use VGA into my LCD and its 10x better than component, plus you can set the resolutions manually

im on my 4th xbox, however they all went within the first three months, since i got this one back from repair, its been running awesome for nearly 3 years.
it usually works fine after you get it back, i know of 1 that didnt, out of 50 or so.
PS3 is decent, the controllers are a bit of a let down IMO, but the dual shock is the playstations trade mark, however they couldve made the thumb sticks concave rather than convex, fifa sucks, cause my fingers keep slipping off during heated matches.
and, lets face it, we dont get metal gear solid.

I totally agree, PS3 could be the best consoles ever made but if it hasnt got any good games then why buy it? The only exclusive games for PS3 that are any good are MGS4 and GT4, but then why spend $1000 just to play 2 games?

Firstly you can get a ps3 for $688 with two games, secondly there a few decent games on it, granted not as many as 360 but whats the point of heaps of games you cant play because the 360 shat itself yet again, and thirdly its a decent blueray player as well.
Im currently playing Guitar Hero World Tour on PS3 and it farkin rocks :D

my 360 just shat itself tonight, I bought it when they just came out cant say im happy have smacked the shit out of it! dunno what to do lol.
unplug the HDD and take any games out, just leaving the power and AV cable in the back of it.
turn it on and wrap it in about 4-5 towles for about 15 minutes, unwrap turn off leave for another 10 to cool
red lights will be fixed for about a week, repeat.
tried and tested.

Ring Microsoft, free eended warranty on RROD. send it off, crack out the SNES, N64, PS2, XBOX and play old school for 1-2 weeks until it gets back.
Rinse and repeat.
Turn it up!
fix things yourself!

thanks dude.
thought i was going to have to go through the long weekend without cod4
no worries man, pretty dodgy but it works well. managed to do one of my xbox's about 5 times with this trick before i assume killed the thermal paste and it would just lock up during games
