Ok where should I start.... I DONT HAVE NOT ONE NEW GEN CONSOLE IN MY HANDS RIGHT NOW!!!! I just got the RROD on my xbox360 and it took about a week for them to send the box in so I can package it and ship it back off to them.. and it takes like a month after you send it, to get it back, and I ordered a wii off ebay and the fricken thing is late according to what the net told me after tracking the item, and the I call and they say that it takes 2-9 business days.. I just have a ps2 with 2 games, a psp and a ds, and the only games that Ive been wanting to play are 360 and wii... why did I get soo punished .. broken xbox, long wait for my wii... .. .. This is seriously very difficult... this a warning to every one out there, make SURE that you have more than one new gen, or console that you play often and have a blast on... and mainly people with a 360 make sure that you plug it straight into a wall socket.... if you have it plugged into a surge protector, powerstrip, extension cord, ect. unplug it and plug it straight into a wall socket... there is a topic you can read on why you should only plug it to a main power supply (wall socket) if you dont over time you will develope issues, and it will freeze and before you know it, poof.. red rings of death happen and that means HARDWARE FAILURE... so be happy you are not in this situation

Thanks For Reading

I've sent my 360 for an RROD. It only took about a week to get a refurb sent back to me. You should have it back soon.

Also, the issue with the power strips and wall sockest is quite honestly a myth. There is absolutely nothing about an electrical current coming from a power strip that would cause damage to a 360. Any 360's that died on one would have also died on wall socket.

Anyways, you should see that is a forced opportunity to look back at the PS2 catalog and play some of it's game Make sure you pick a classic or two.

The people I cad to call to get the package to send it off told me that you MUST have it plugged to a wall socket, basically a main power source and that is the main cause of the RROD and too many people believe that was a myth.. I was one of them, and then I read a forum on the net somewhere that explained it and it scared me and made perfect sense....But yeah its all good now... earlier today, I got my 360 back and then an hour later my wii came in... WHAT A COINCIDENCE.. Well Just one thing have to say...... GAME ON!!!!!!
