I have 3 red lights on my 360, it was working earlier today, I took it in to a shop to trade it in and it worked (there were no red lights) they only didn't take it because it was set to HD and they never had a HD TV, I get it home and set it up and now theres 3 red lights.
Anyone have an idea whats up??

Don't all 360s have a 3-year warranty nowadays?

Damn. You got the warranty? I had a 1 year warranty (I believe) which expired in October. |

I could swear Microsoft made it a life-time thing.... maybe I was reading something else.

Sony and Nintendo basically give you 'free' warranties, but the system with the most failures, forces you to pay for a surprisingly short one. |

Once the RROD reveals itself your 360 is done. It might run again once or twice but...

Make a youtube vidoe to complain if they won't fix it, and make sure it catches on. They'll give you a new one to shut you up.

Take it back to the store you got it from (preferably with the receipt).
I've had mine break down three times, and they've replaced all three, on the spot. Beats waiting for Microsoft.

Yeah the red ring of death sucks really bad. I heard that on the elite and Halo versions that has been fixed.
I also can swear that I heard a 3-5 year warranty because of the rrd's

Yeah MS extended the warranty to 3 years. I got my 3 reds the day before they announced that, they sent me a check to reimburse my costs.
Supposedly now all the new production 360s are coming out with the new chipsets and fixes to the ring of death. I think you can look up online somewhere to find what model #s have the fixes, so you don't accidentally get a older bum version.
