Today I became a victim of the Red Ring of Death. A little part of me died inside.

still under waranty???? If not id buy a new one and put the old pne back in the box and return it. Ethical maybe not, but neither is microsoft not fixing the issues it has with its system. Just my take.

The green light around the power button turns red means its dead. I heard you can send them out though. A friend of mine works at an electronics store.

I still have my original relase PS2 and it works fine. Never had a problem with the xbox360 either, but I just hear of so many people that do. knock on wood!

Mine is in its second year. Microsoft introduced a 3 year warranty just for RRoD issues last year. Thank god! It's going to be replaced for free, but it'll take 4 weeks. I would go to Best Buy and buy one, then return the old one, but the serial numbers wouldn't match on the box, and then I'd be up shit creek. Also, the console has ID'd the downloaded material I have on the hard drive. If I bought a different XBOX and put my hard drive in it, it becomes a hassle everytime I want to play something downloaded.

Sorry to hear of that. We just got a WII at Christmas, so far I have not gotten to hooked on it. Mostly beacuse I have not bought any new games for it.

I'm the same way with my ps3...I'm playing through GTA IV trying to get 100% just because I don't wanna drop $60 on a new game.
