I knew this day would come,

as soon as that launch unit guaranty ran out...that ended after 2 years right?

sigh, I'm so upset by this, I really am. one would think that a functioning 360 for 2 years I have no right to complain compared to what all of you have gone through with your 360's but to hell with that, consoles should never break period. No system, as far back as my Atari 2600. has ever "broke" I left my PSone on accidentally 2 days strait and it broke but that was my own stupidity. i understand these things happen. but this is a first for me so I really want to lash out, Perhaps tomorrow after work I'll try the towel trick or whatever other methods the internet has conjured up. thank goodness it's late i can go to sleep and not have to worry about this until tomorrow afternoon

Don't worry, happened to me a month ago.

Wait, what the fuck am I talking about? Don't worry? DUDE, YOU JUST LOST A 400$ SYSTEM! This is the worst thing that could ever happen to a gamer. When this happened to me, I had trouble deciding whether I should either shoot myself or slit my wrists with AOL free trial CDs.

Don't make the same mistake as I did. Go with the former.

I'm pretty sure that they extended the warranty to three years... you should be ok. Take a deep breath, and call MS.

When it happened to me I just slid it in it's box for a month and a half, played some not-Tecmo Super Bowl on my Not Dreamcast, and then brought it back out when we moved and took of the hard drive. it works fine and dandy now.

I just realized, this isn't a mass hardware failure, it's a motherfuckin' suicide pact!

My housemates 360 got the RROD and he didn't want to wait 12 weeks to get it back so he paid our local modshop to fix it for him. Cost him $60 bucks and it works perfectly now.

yup, three years. Even if you bought it on launch day, you are covered till Nov. of this year. The bad news is the wait time, the good news is nothing's coming out for awhile.
