sorry Zulu - the pics not clear - massive XBox360 failure - infamously known as the "Red Ring of Death"
in fact - it's so common that you can even buy greeting cards with commiserations for this very problem on them!!

bound to happen sooner or later i suppose - imagine any other business with a product that failed so often? luckily its so good - i'll overlook it (so long as Mr Gates sends me a new one :y)

Happened to mine last year, was out of warranty, they came and collected it UPS, sent it to Germany to be fixed and had it back within 5 days I think ::)
