3 red lights just come on my xbox 360
was told its called red ring of death or sumat like that
just out of warranty and nobody wants to touch it
i was told there is a trick called the towel trick where you wrap the console in a towel and leave it on for a while then turn it off let it cool down then it should work
tried it and no good

i aint gonna replace it
i mite see if the mrs will get me a ps3 for xmas (fat chance of that)

looks like sitting for an hour on ebay later to sell the games for the 360. pain in the back side

ebay is great for buying but takes to long to put stuff on for sale

Remember, as long was you haven't modified it or taken it apart, MS extended the warranty to 3yrs for this particular fault, so chances are, its under warranty (assuming you haven't modchipped it etc)

The Boy is correct i called ms about my 360 which done it earlier this year and the sent out an exchange unit my 360's warrenty had ran out by 6 months! call em!

[nick v6]

i had it chipped just after the warranty ran out

[tmx]

i doubt it tbh

[nick v6]

Buy the kit to repair it on ebay for £3.... same happened to mine but its easily fixed .   I did mine and 3 months later its still going strong . Towel trick is only very temporary .
