4 days before Christmas... Worst. luck. EVER. I've had my 360 for more than a year, but tonight when playing COD4 it was constantly freezing and after the fifth time restarting it, the red ring came up...The weird thing is I turned it off and back on and it works again...but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I get the rrod again...

I have one question though.

When I send it to MS are they going to send it back to my house and leave it on my doorstep? Because that would really suck. I don't want someone to steal it. Or are they going to send it to the P.O. and I can go pick it up?

Well. That's it. My horror story. Anyone else have some Xbox Christmas nightmare they care to share?

If you would have read it all you would have seen that I actually had a question. It's not just a paragraph of my holiday woes, but obviously you don't have the attention span to actually read more than a topic title.

Sorry to hear it... I've felt that feeling (twice, in fact).

Also, they'll send you a box, and you'll ship it back (free shipping) to them. They'll either send you another console (refurb/new), or fix your own. When they send it back to you, they'll ring your bell, and if you're not home - it will be brought back to the post office depot. In that case, you have to pick it up.

It's easiest to have somebody ... anybody home during the expected arrival date - just so you don't have to make the extra trip.

Alright. Thanks for the info. I hope I'll be home when they send it back. I'm starting College on January 7th so I'd like it to be back by then, but I know it won't...

The one good thing out of this is I MIGHT get a 360 with an HDMI port.

Haha - that's what I was wondering. I'm too cheap to buy another 360 w/ HDMI, and now with my HDTV - I want one. It's doubtful you will, but hey, anything's possible! I'll pray you do! :)

I feel your pain man, My 360 died on me yesterday, I would have had it for two years next month, so I guess I'm glad that it went that long without any problems, but I'm still pretty pissed that it died right before I get my new HDTV, and Mass Effect for Christmas, luckily my friend is letting me barrow his because he is grounded and can't play 360 anyway, but I still have to wait until Thursday.
