It was August 1st, I had just finished eating lunch and I go to play Oblivion only to find out that when I turn on my xbox 3 red lights flash. I imediately check to see if all the cables are plugged in and I try to turn it on again. Alas, the same three red lights flashed.

NOTE: Always make sure that the video cable is properly connected to the Xbox and TV because the Xbox's way of telling you that the cable are unplugged is by having flashing red lights.

So that day I called the xbox help line and they sent me a box that I sent my xbox to them in. It just arrived in their repair place in Texas two or three days ago. This was my first xbox that I have had for almost two years and its manufacture date was October 28th 2005.

UPDATE: I recieved my xbox back from the repair center much faster than I expected on August 24th.
