My Halo 3 experience...
Well I went with my bf to pick up the special edition (with helmet) of Halo 3 yesterday. We bought extra controllers, alcohol, and brought a lot of Olive Garden food to go to a friend's house for our very first HALO 3 PARTY.

As soon as we arrived, we hooked up the Xbox...got everyone situated...and as soon as we pressed the power button...

The Red Rings of Death appeared!
The power button was just flashing red over and over. =o

As we all know...supposedly...once this happens, you're virtually screwed. It's a glitch, right? NO! The Red Rings of Death were just staring us all in the eyes...but then a miracle occurred...
One of my friends turned the console over onto it's side, and right when he went to turn it off...the Red Rings of Death went away, and the system started working again...



This has been...my experience with Halo 3 and the red rings of death.
Anyone experience anything similar?
What if people are returning their consoles with the red rings of death and the cure is to just lean the console over onto it's side...?

You are one lucky individual; and not just because of the Olive Garden you had with you. Wow, I'm glad that you were able to play it anyway by turning it on its side.

It would have been a tragedy to see a good night like that go to waste. Especially after spending so much!

Your XBox survived after the red rings of death? I'm actually on my second one because of the red rings!

Anyways, how was the Olive Garden, and Halo 3? Ashleigh is bringing it over next weekend for us to play, and I hope that is is 20 times more awsome than Halo 2

Play Halo 3 or suffer the Red Rings of Death. Tough choice there.

Yeah right. Like I actually got a chance to play.
It looked quoite fun. ^.^ Especially riding on the 4 wheeler. ^.^

I know, I always have my system standing upright.
Maybe I discovered the cure. XD

And I got the Olive Garden half price because my friend works there.
Free drinks, free wine, free dessert, free salads, and free soup. ^.^

Yeah, I think having your 360 standing up causes the red ring of death, my 360 has survived 2 red rings of death and still works, I guess I'm really lucky huh?

Yes! One of my friends told me that I should lay a warm wash cloth on it or something. Maybe that's a dumb fart idea...

My other friend told me that he keeps his laying on it's side, and he's never had that problem. ^.^

I've been able to play Halo 3 and finish it while playing the 360 standing up and never had any problems. Hell, I've had my 360 standing up ever since I got it and haven't had the rings of death yet. Could be that I don't play it as much as other people though.

My 360 has always been sitting on it's side. No problems out of it as of yet. =).
