sux 4 u.........well wat do u expect? anyways if i were u i’d buy a new 360 in fall that’s when the 3 red lights will no longer exist.

u see in fall a 65nm chip is gonna b placed in the 360. It’ll make them extremely cool and quite and there will b no more red lights. U see insidew a 360 everything is stuk together by glue....but the heat melts the glue causing three red lights. However after the 65nm chip is in the glue won’t melt because the chip is extremely kool.

Yeah it sucks, and my computer isnt the best in the world (it cant even play halo) so I depended on my 360 and my 20+ games for entertainment.

but I contacted Xbox Customer Support and I will get it repaired for free, because of my warranty is still valid (barley). shipping is also free, I will be playing it again in about 10 days.

Somehow I’m beginning to rethink my plans for the future... I guess I should definitely wait until fall before I get a 360...

Were you planning on getting a 360 before this “replanning”? BTW, nice decision on getting one.
