The dreaded red ring of death has hit my Xbox 360! I had finished playing through Halo 3 on co-op mode with one of my friends just two days earlier before the ring started flashing red with three of the four sections of the power ring lit up. Thankfully, the person I talked to on the Xbox support line was very thorough in walking me through the steps of narrowing the problem down. I was sent a box with a return address tag on the inside, as well as everything needed to secure my Xbox 360 securely within. He also recommended writing the repair order number on the outside of the box, and tape a piece of paper to the unit itself with the same information. It should return in about four weeks. I'll give an update when I hear more about the fate of my beloved Xbox 360. They'll either repair it or replace it without a single dime charged to me! At least their customer service has improved with time.
