I need help. So it begins here, about a week ago my 360 froze while I was playing fable. I called the 1-800-4my-xbox number and they told me to do the three steps.

1. restart- zilch, still got the three red lights

2.disconect cables and (firmly) reatach and then step one- nada, still busted

3. take out the hdd and repeat step one and two- finally it turned back on

Now today it did the same thing when I was about to go on xbox live to play halo2. I tried everything again, and lots of times too. I dont want to pay $140.00. I tried it again a little while ago and it was about to start, when it all of a sudden crashed like in 3 seconds lol. Anyone know if it does this every now and then or is my system a gonner?
