Well, I could tell you you're ugly, but I think those black eyes and boots still lodged firmly in your rear say it well enough for me.

Matchmaking is still not working...but if you have red rings...you're done. You'll need to send that in to be fixed...and there is no chance it will be back before Halo 3. My system took a month to get back to me...and I just had the problem in August. Sucks for you.

No one at Microsoft has said exactly what causes the Red Ring of Death(3 quarters), but a lot of analysts have speculated that it's an overheating issue due to the desing on the 360. You will, most certainly, have to send it to get repaired, or go and buy a new one.

If you kill yourself over this, then who will I get to beat up on in Halo 3 when your xbox comes home?

Same thing happened to me. It's a non-specific hardware failure. It took two weeks to get my 360 back.

You're about to get microshafted. They're gonna ask you to pay out of your pocket to fix it. Sell it on ebay.

Uh, wrong. If it's the 3 red lights, it's covered under warranty for 3 years. Microsoft won't charge you for either the repair or the shipping. They'll send you a box overnight, you send it back to them, and then they return the fixed Xbox or send a brand new one. All of this for free. It probably will only take 3-4 weeks, so if you send it off tomorrow you'll only be a couple weeks behind everybody else ;)

No video game store will take it; afaik, they test them to make sure they do work before buying them from you. Just call the Xbox service dept. and be patient.
