Get a PS3 nigga. It's only right.

Thats's what I did last week and swapped the hard drive. Microsoft wanted $100 to fix the damn thing because it was out of warranty.
I'll fix the old one when I'm ready.
i found some vid on how to fix it......bt im too chicken shit to fuck it up and remove the seals, as its under warranty.

That is the equivalent of the Windows blue screen of death. Would be good if you could just reformat the 360 to solve it.
Good One
I got the audio but video problem. I was playing COD 4 online with some buddies and suddenly the screen turned green and then it froze up. I turned it off and then back on but I could only hear it start up with a black screen.The shit has been like that for awhile now. I might pay someone to fix it because I am not buying a new one. Fuck Bill gates.

Oh Shit. Thats the same thing that happened to my old one. I was also playing COD4 online when it happened. From what I was told by customer service is that its probably the video card.
Come Home
I guess the ps3 would act as a heater since there's no games to play on it
the fucked up ps2 shit wasn't even close to the level of whats going on with xbox360Did Microsoft know about Xbox failures?
Report casts new light on reliability woes
By Mike Smith

Has your Xbox 360 ever failed unexpectedly? If it has, you're in good company -- in February, warranty company SquareTrade pegged the console's failure rate at a shocking 16%. But a stunning new expose claims that Microsoft knew over two-thirds of the consoles produced by its contracted factories in the run-up to the Xbox 360's November 2005 launch date were faulty, and opted to push the machine out to consumers in spite of its problems.
The report, published this week in VentureBeat and written by technology journalist Dean Takahashi -- author of the critically acclaimed The Xbox 360 Uncloaked -- blames numerous factors for the now-infamous "Red Ring of Death" failures, including a rushed design process, the machine's groundbreaking complexity, and cost-cutting initiatives that hamstrung quality assurance tests.
As one anonymous source told Takahashi, "There were so many problems, you didn't know what was wrong. The [test engineers] didn't have enough time to get up and running."
Even though Microsoft eventually extended the Xbox 360's warranty program in an effort to reassure consumers, incurring an estimated $1 billion bill in the process, public confidence in the Xbox 360 was harmed immeasurably. Many online reports indicated purchasers had to go through four or more replacement machines before receiving one that worked, and Microsoft amassed a "bone yard" of 500,000 broken consoles in the process, Takahashi claims.

I got the red ring before but only because one of my usb cords became faulty took it out of the port and was back in business and yeah if you don't mind playing the same games over and over more power to you but unlike yourself once I beat a game I'm pretty much done with it unless I'm playing against people online.
That's just the beginninig of your problems trust me,my shit always works problem free everytime i turn it on,and i can leave it on all day. And as far as playing games over and over you sound like you finish sooo many games a month how many games can you play and finish at one time? cmon be real.I have about 12 games right now didn't finish any yet cuz i game mostly online with COD4 and MLB the show.Ohh and i'm about to watch Iron man on Blue ray too.
its dying!!! just call microsofr and tell them you got the 3rings of death and they will send you a box to ship it back to them.

The ps3 has plenty of exclusives. Not to mention the fact that most of the games that are on the gamercard in your sig are multiplatform games.
The ps3 has:
Resistance
heavenly sword
ratchet and clank
time crisis 4
mlb 08
nba 08
folklore
uncharted
MGS4
ninja gaiden sigma
warhawk
Gran Turismo
Additionally, games like gears of war, mass effect, and bioshock are available for the pc. Also, games like oblivion are much better on the ps3.
I'm no fanboy, i own both systems.
YES, if someone hasn't answered you yet.
i had the same exact error message with mines.
if your xbox is not registered they will do it for you when you call in your problem.
if your xbox is over 2yrs old then you have to pay $100 but it's cheaper than buying a new 1.
have xbox send you your shipping label to your email address and get your own box instead of having them ship you 1, it speeds the whole process up
it should take 2wks or less for you to get it back after they get your xbox.
GOOD LUCK and see you when you get back on
