360 - Third times the charm?

[Bergundy]

My first 360 lasted for about 18 months. This one that just died today, lasted for about 2-3 months. Sweet!

It looks like my video crapped out, and now I get the 3 rings of death! Yes! I love good old Microsoft. lol

It is a shame, because I really do like my 360 more then my PS3... Now, I guess I'll either be playing my PS3 or my Wii while my 360 is out getting fixed.

My first one lasted 18 months before it died.

how long have you had that one?

[fire.wolf [006]]

i don't remember..... over a year i think almost 2

the red ring occurs from a hardware failure, i think it's usually overheating that causes cataclysmic failure of the GPU

Had my first 360 about 7months before red rings. Then they repaired it (took over 8 weeks though) and it's been fine.

how much does it cost after shipping it to them, getting it repaired and everything else?

Nothing.

the mental anguish of not having the console for 3-4 weeks...

[or 14 hours in my case....]
