    I just received the be all end all three red lights. They first reared their ugly head a  few days ago but I managed to towel trick alittle extra life from the console. But now they are here to stay and not even the mightiest of towels can repel them.

    Luckily Microsoft is repairing the console free of charge. I was scared I was going to have to pay that $90 fee since my 360 is mega old. I mean like launch day old.

    Im going to assume lots of people here have also gotten the crimson ring of death. So what were you doing or playing when it happened? What was your first reaction? I was playing Soul Caliber 4. I was on the 59th floor of the tower of lost souls, with one character dead and the other at 50% hp. My reaction was one of silence and saddness, amazingly enough, no anger.

    I was trying to play CoD4's campaign. And I was having a blast on it too... so I got pretty pissed when it happened, especially since I just got home from a long day of work.

    It's ok, I know it sucks but MS is pretty quick with the repairs so you won't be waiting TOO long. When my friends died, he went nuts and called me so late I had to go to his house since he is a noob with these things. v_v

    Yop, I got mine on CoD4 also when it first came out.
    But don't worry, soon it'll all be like... tears... in the rain...

    Time to die.

    Yeah, CoD4 killed my first one too. The day after Christmas no less. Heartbreaking.

    I don't have the red ring of death, mainly because I play my 360 an average of 5 hours a week.

    If it ever red rings, I'll be an arsonist.

    Never got it, though once my friend had a Halo 3 party and after only a few hours the system got the rings. We were pissed and enraged drunks

    Mine was in a powercut 2 days before GTAIV ( which happened to be my reason to get a 360 ).
    I just sat there stunned for a moment, and kept trying to turn it on and off.
    It worked after about 10 minutes for me, but bad luck dude!
