XBox 360 – 3 Red Lights of DEATH!!

A well know and widely feared XBox flaw, the Red Ring of Death

I’ve heard horror stories of XBox 360 owners around the globe who have been hit by the “Red Ring of Death” aka Three red LEDs.

Tonight I joined those ranks. After calling Microsoft for a repair, I learned that my XBox was out of warranty and the repair would cost $100!! A $400 game console should last MUCH longer than a couple of years. I feel that Microsoft sold a flawed design and now the customers are having to pay the price.

Now I’m debating what to do, should I burn more money on a console that has already been returned for replacement once and is KNOWN to have repeated hardware problems?

After horrible results with Windows Mobile, I dumped my PC and switched to a Mac with iPhone. At this point, I may just buy a PS3 and dump Microsoft entirely.

Would love to hear your advice, suggestions and comments!
