It started acting up without any red circles, but I called anyway. Just before sending it in, sure enough, I got the red circles. >>do they not return the origional hard-drive? is what Im worried about They tell you to take off the hard drive. You won't send the hard drive or any cables. Just the box. I wouldn't open it up since it is DEFINITELY under warranty. The red circle of death is good for three years, I believe. Call them, but be prepared to not have it for at least a month. I think it took about 6 weeks to get mine back. Sorry for not replying quickly! I am trying to keep up with this more. :) Let me know how it turns out. This was similar to mine. It started acting up without any red circles, but I called anyway.

I had my 360 for exactly a whole year when it started freezing just this last Aug. and didn't think too much of it - until it would only last 5 minutes in and then refuse to even restart completely. And to hell it was not overheating - I take dang good care of mine. Anyway when I brought it back to school with me - as long as I gave it a day when it threw a tantrum it was alright - it then gave me the FOUR flashing red circle indicating a problem witht eh AV cables. Well I went ahead and replaced it to check - NOTHING, didn't help at all - so Im assuming it's a loose connection near the AV slot. I've been holding off to send it in - do they not return the origional hard-drive? is what Im worried about - and just been fiddling retesting everything and combinations to no success without doing anything that would void warrenty otherwise I would open it up and fix it myself - clean it out probably but Im sure that's not the cause here. Any suggestions? or should I just send it in as I got the 2year plan with BestBuy? Mine hasn’t exactly been the true RCoD, but some big error that has got to be fixed.

I have the free upgrade disk, but I will probably wait until I buy my next computer. Why should I fix something that isn't broken? I guess I’ve been lucky. :)

And I'm (un)happy to say it is still alive in Microsoft's newest opperating system Vista! I've managed to blue screen probably a dozen times since upgrading...

For the past few months I haven't played it much, so I won't miss it. I think it was good timing. This way I will have to concentrate on work until Halo 3 comes out. Then I can play :) BTW mine wasn't too old either. I think I bought it last December. I hope yours is the newer version! Thanks! For the past few months I haven’t played it much, so I won’t miss it.

Hopefully they'll repair it for you fairly quickly and update it like the newer versions (I believe new 360's have a better heatsink which apparently causes much less problems). Luckily I haven't had any problems with mine yet, although I've only had it for six months or so. *knock on wood* Best of luck! Argh. That’s rough man.
