well my first xbox lasted just over a year and had a 4 red ring problem. then 2-3 years later this problem. same hard drive
 
Well. It looks like I'm going to be trading up to the MW:2 console when it comes out. My 360 is overheating a lot with the 1st and 3rd ring section if you stand it vertical. It'll make a huge whoosh and from the DVD tray and fans and I get the red ring. I can still play but only for an hour or so before it takes a dump on me.
 
Insanity: the belief that one can get different results by doing the same thing

I'd hurry up and trade that bad boy in to Gamestop for a reservation for the MW2 console before it freezes up completely.
 
No need since I've got the Best Buy warranty. Just need to pay like $50 to buy the warranty for the new console.

That sounds like a power supply issue. If you have access to another one, try swapping it. Btw, Bestbuy waranty will replace your overheating 360 as well.
 
Actually I think it's from playing Batman. I tried installing to the hard drive but it only buys me about 10 more minutes of gameplay. I can play Rock Band 2 and Forza 2 until my fingers bleed but as soon as I try playing Batman my console overheats.

I had a original Xbox till April last year, it started overheating shortly after I began playing GTA IV. At first it was 30-40 minutes into the game it would shut-off and blink the rings, then it began doing it more often, like 7-8 minutes into the game. Since it was one of the original 360s, the HD is only 12gb so putting the game on there was out of question.

I put up with that for about a week then went to best buy and got another one, and some $ back b/c 360's price had came down. :laughing
 
Operation Flashpoint has been ugh* soo far. It takes too far to go between checkpoints. (I hate big maps). but I my hookup from EA just came through :banana

Well this is an Elite that I got brand new about a year ago. I just don't get it.
 
I hate you, Manny.

Anyways. My console is completely done now. I'll hit the power button and I immediately get the RROD. Just gotta wait until that MW2 console gets released and I get a free upgrade. w00t!
