    My Xbox is now like a zombie.

    Yeah, so my Xbox 360 1 ringed about a week ago, and like anyone not wanting to spend 100$ to get it fixed, tried to kill it. I wrapped it up in towels and left it for 20 minutes about 5 times. Now it has been working consistently for the past week, the only problem is It won't connect to the internet now. I've ruled out my internet not working so I'm pretty sure it's the xbox. So no Halo.

    I'll call Xbox support up tonight, but what should I tell them? (I kind of wish I could just pay 100$ now and getir done with)

    Haha, man. That sucks. Mine 1 ringed also, but fortunately it was still under the 1 year warranty at the time. It's pretty lame that the 1-ring isn't covered by the three year warranty.

    What are you guys talking about?  A 3 year warranty is a 3 year warranty. It doesn't matter what rings you get. If it's broke, they gotta fix or replace it.  Call them up on the phone & argue with them about it.  One good thing is that the console is getting cheaper at least. It'll reach that point where you can just buy a new one to replace the broken one (as the cost on repairs would be the same).

    Well, the 3 year warranty only covers the 3 RRoD. So it kinda does matter. The standard 90 day or whatever covers everything else.
