So this is my first red ring ever. I've become another statistic.
to put my feelings into a palindrome, "dammit im mad." I forked out the extra money on the elite hearing that it's got a lower rate of red rings (not to mention the svelte matte black), and this happens. Looking more into it, though, I can't be too upset. I've enjoyed it for a good while, and when I took a look at the "Sync+Eject" Diagnostic guide that
I found here, I got an error code of 0102, which goes on to say:
"unknown error - literally means the console does not know what is wrong. Possibly a short or cold solder joint somewhere."
So it wasn't because it overheated, and it never really did. I remember my SNES running hotter than my 360 did. I'm just glad that I'm not out a bunch of money because of the warranty extension. Here's hoping that I get this back before Fallout 3 drops.

I too have felt the anger and the emptiness of losing a loved one
5 times with this last one
thats why I am going for an elite
Bloody horrible timing.
Mine is also currently out of commission, which really blows. I've been keeping myself busy with quirky Japanese rhythm/music games on my DS, and I'm about to play some StarCraft now.
Take this time to go back and play some of your older stuff, you may have forgotten how much you missed these games.
@naim master - no, its not made of cheap parts. Its made of good parts that make tons of heat, as such parts do. Its not the parts that are at fault, its the design; not enough cooling. A standard gaming pc case has at least two decent fans, for good reason.
Ok well maybe a little, but you're still a lucky, lucky bastard.
Twice.
Never RRoD'd though, I don't count Dead Rising fucking over my console as one of them.
