xbox 360 flashing lights

[mindgame8]

No, it just shows up one day. I'm currently doing this now. I sent my first one in, got a brand new one in like 2 weeks only for it to have the ring of death so I called them back and sent it back so now I'm currently waiting for ANOTHER one.

So maybe I don't want a 360. Any where local that has a "warranty" you can buy and if it has problems they just give you a new one?

The new Xbox's w/ the falcon boards don't have this problem (they redesigned the heatsink not to come off the GPU)...

As long as you keep a small fan blowing air over it you shouldn't have a problem at all.

[thrash]

a place like best buy or whatever with the "extended warranty" i think is just a bring it in and they exchange it for any reason.

The 3yr 360 warranty ONLY covers RROD failures, not other stuff.

There's an article online suggesting how you can be sure you're getting a newer revision part with a die shrink and new heat sink.

I'm still on my first 360 and haven't had any RROD problems, but i was getting error 68/69 (hard drive failure). It would cause the box to occasionally not boot but no problems playing/saving games and content.

or maybe all you nerds should stop playing for so long at a time...
