I was having a great time, just playing along, when bam! Lost Planet freezes up as soon as I get a match started. I try it with other games and the same thing happens, though somewhat later in the game. PGR3 demo fine, but GRAW2 demo's mule also caused freezing. I've gotten the three rings that signify hardware failure twice now. Called tech support but they just said they'd send me a box, couldn't fix over phone. What's going on?

they are sending you a box to put your 360 in to ship it to them to fix it.

There's nothing that people can do.  MS is going to fix it, simple as that man.

They say its 3-5 BUSINESS days to ship this box.  I'm currently waiting on mine.  Blizzard today so no box and going on day #6.  You package it up as they have instructions w/ the box.  Contact UPS/DHL/Fed Ex, whomever delivered it to you.  Then another 3-5 BUSINESS days to get back to them.  Then they fix it.  If they cannot fix it, then you get a refurbished one.  Then they send it back to you (3-5 Business days)

In shipping along you are looking at 12-15 business days of shipping.  There is 3 weeks.  Figure another week to fix.  So I would say about a months time.

There is a special post just for 360 problems. Your question should asked in there.
