Anybody ever got one of these?
Friend of mine had it happen and he was pissed.
I hope it doesn't happen to mine, but i heard the rate at which this is happening is about 30%

This happened to my friend when we were horseplaying. Did you try to check all the cords and cables?

Actually, it's a fatal system ro hardware error that cannot be fixed except by sending it to Microsoft and having them send you a replacement, which they do for free.

Not experienced this problem...yet. Of course I've had a number of problems with the 360, but not this one.

What, like that's something new? It's Microsoft, for god's sake.
See, this issue is why I plan on waiting a while longer before I get my 360. Hell, I even once saw in Gamestop a mother brought in her son's brand new second 360 controller that wasn't working, and they tried it on the store 360 and it still wouldn't work. Pretty crappy when controllers are effing up on you.

Hahah the red rings of death. Well I've heard about it. The guys at the local gamestop have never stopped harping us for not having insurance on our Xbox. I have heard rumors though.
I've also heard that Microsoft will automatically redeem you with a new Xbox system if yours glitches like this.

I bought my 360 off a buddy of mine back in April and it happened to me about Mid-May. I called Microsoft and they charged me $104 to send me a brand new system and give me a new 3 year warranty.
Well...I was pisseda about losing the $104, but I was happy to have my Xbox 360 back and all that jazz.
I had a nice surprise though 2 weeks ago when Microsoft sent me a check in the mail for $104 reimbursing me for my payment made 3 months ago. haha apparently Miscrosoft is now fixing everyones Red Ring of Death's for free when they happen since it's happened so often.

That's very unMicrosoft-like behavior O_O Maybe they're getting nicer. Where did they come up with $104 though? That's such a random number.

I was about $125 I would have had to pay regularly, but since originally my Xbox JUST went out of warranty, they gave me like a 5% discount price or something. That's why it was $104 and some odd cents.
Maybe their getting nicer, maybe they're just getting harped on that they know they have a few bugs left in the systems still. Otherwise, I'm still happy though.
