My Xbox360 Had RRoD on 1/1/2010


On the morning of the 1st day of 2010, my Xbox360 (finally) showed signs of dying when it started freezing randomly while I was playing the game.  After 5 min. of trying to fix the "freezing" problem, the infamous "Red Ring of Death" arrived.

Luckily, it seems my console is still under the 3-yr extended warranty offered by Microsoft.  I will have to ship this piece via UPS on Monday.  I hope to get it back soon.

...Microsoft stands behind its products and is taking responsibility to repair or replace any Xbox 360 console that experiences the "three flashing red lights" error message within three years from time of purchase free of charge, including shipping costs. Microsoft will take a $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion pre-tax charge to earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for anticipated costs under its current and enhanced Xbox 360 policies...
