lol...funny and true, same thing happened to me......HARDWARE FAILURE! you have to get your system repaired or replaced. if you're still under warranty, call the hot line and start the process.

Yeah, you get a free 1 year warranty. So you can send it backand get a new one.

how funny is that, so happy i found this thread. this just happend to me as well. this week it started crashing MUCH more than usual, and today it froze and red lights came on... thought restarting would do the trick, but nothing. at least the 360 just straight breaks whereas my original xbox degraded slowley as the laser drive became more unruley

I have had small problems like freezing 131 disc read errors, but no red lights, It makes me fearful to upgrade to the elite and I don't think I will.

Patience ppl, its all you need.

My first 360 died 3 months ago (3 red lights of death) it lasted 1 year and 2 months, luckily i had my warranty, so i just called M$ for the repair, 2/3 weeks later i received a "new" one with 2 more years of warranty (nice), when i turn it on BAM! freezes... and 10 minutes later the 3 red lights of death come again to hunt me!

So once again i call MS*** for the repair, and 3/4 weeks later i received a new one with a 1 month gold subscription card!! (wow...), and THANK GOD IT STILL WORKS at least for now...

       If you really want Microsoft to admit they have a problem I would suggest contacting any number of consumer protection agencies or wright to a news organization like CNN or FOX NEWS or something like that because this is ridiculous.Microsoft has to be held responsible and at least admit to potential costumers problems there having.

    I have so much space around it that I'm surprised how the heck mine died, i even have two windows near the console so in the summer a nice breeze passes from it, and BTW no sun can reach it.

LOL - this is true - Apple would make an amazing RISC based gaming console that would never have problems and Jobs would be an amazing game console Icon.  The only problem is the darn thing would probably cost upwards of $1000!

  Microsoft will fix your console only under warranty.Most people having problems are smart enough to know that the 360 needs breathing room trust me I gave mine plenty and it still failed 4 Times!!!!!Also how in the heck does Microsoft expect that it can afford "hooking people up"with a replacement console the 1,2,3and4 or more times they have to be replaced.I don't think a x-box 360 owner would put up with having to send there console in every 3,4 and 5 months to get it replaced. I know im getting sick of it.
