Warranty has been extended to three years for the RROD error. Call 1-800-4MYXBOX and they should repair/replace it for free.

my buddy went through 5 xboxes in one month. whenever he got the rrod he just went to walmart and exchanged the systems in the boxes then said it was DOA when he got it home. much faster than the 1month wait from microsoft.

If you have that kind of money to burn because you dont want to wait for a month for a free one then you need to open an IRA. -------------------- |
