I decided to be cool and get a red ring of death like everybody else.
Had my 360 almost 2 years and I was lucky enough to get the RRoD. Anyone else here sent theirs in and what the time frame I'm looking at, to wait to get it back from Microsoft ?

I've had twice but was all under warranty with the shop, just took it back and got new. No problems since then.
My mate had his back after a week, my other 2 months. My others been waiting for awhile but refuses to ring microsoft.

But on serious note I may get a 360 in the future to be cool. How long does the warranty go for from Microsoft.

I had to send mine in 2 weeks ago for the second time. Sent it on a Tuesday and got it back the next Monday. I already had a box for it though so it may be longer if you wait for them to send you a box for it.

I've sent in two and gotten two new 360s back within a week or so. I wouldn't be worried.

Gotten the red ring twice. First time I sent it in I got it back like 2 - 4 weeks later.

Last Time I sent it in I never received an email or anything from then and was constantly calling them. They sent me a fixed console within a week and a half.

Time all depends I guess. If its your second time sending it in they give you a free game. Which arrives before your xbox does so then you are even more pissed.

I didn't get a RRoD, I got something else. I sent my into best buy, took like fucking 2 weeks. Next time I'm going to drop it off at my nearest best buy. I had my X-Box for like 4 months when it did it.

The 360 has a series of 4 diagnostic lights around the power button that display red in different patterns when something goes wrong and the system can't run. The red ring of death is the most common pattern that happens when your system overheats to the point that the motherboard inside starts to warp (at least this is the most common situation). Usually results in having to send your 360 in to get repaired or replaced.

Considering this is with the older consoles, and the newer ones are manufactured with cooler chips and quieter fans, as well as better solder, you're far less likely to get RROD than, say, I am.

That being said, no console is immune to hardware failure, so there will still be some RRoDs.

This was the initial thought but the Elites are starting to fail just as fast.

There was some tabloid report, not a real reliable source I know, that said that Microsoft is setting aside an estimated $1 billion to replace Elites. Hasn't been officially reported but I wouldn't be surprised if this was somewhat true.

I wouldn't be completely shocked, but I'll wait until I actually see reports of Elites failing at the same rate.

I heard somewhere if you play DVDs a lot it will cause it to overheat faster or somthing. I don't know if that makes a difference, but I used my 360 primarily as a DVD player.

I kinda doubt that's true, to be honest. running games would be far more hardware intensive, so it should by all means generate more heat. I mean, it's POSSIBLE, but it seems unlikely.

The best thing to do is to own a plug and charge kit.

Before you turn the xbox 360 off after using it, plug your controller in. That way, it'll keep the fans running in the xbox while it charges the controller, cooling the unit down at a better pace so it's less likely to crap out.


Do as I say and it'll last ages, for I know all about the xbox 360.

So there was a fucking storm last night and I had a power surge and all of the red lights came on. I was SUPER pissed after that cause I figured the Red Ring of Death. I have a surge protector but its not as good as the one I have my computer plugged into. So I turn it off and back on and it worked fine. Stopped playing after that in fear that it would happen again

Mayo, the real red ring is all the red lights except the top right..

To everyone who has sent theirs back to Microsoft: was it under warranty when you sent it back?? If not, how much did it cost to get it fixed?? Any info would be helpful..

Pretty sure MS lists it on its website, but I believe a repair is 90 or 100 dollars.

I went to the site but all it talked about was registration numbers and warranty.. That's why I didn't know if they even took non warrantied 360's..

So I bought mine used from EB Games, 2006 model. If I get the old RROD, I take it mine won't be repaired free of charge?
