I just got the Red Ring of Death on mu xbox, what should I do?
« on: January 06, 2008, 09:48:21 AM »
I bought my premium Xbox 360 used from a local retailer in my town called Game Traders. They said they had tested it for an hour after they refurbished it to make sure it didnt get the Red Ring, i know i had a 30 day guarentee on the console. I bought it in early August and just got the Red Ring of Death today after i finally recovered my account after being 3 days without it because of XBL issues.

My question is..
What do you think i should do?
Am i still under Microsofts agreement to fix all broken 360's?

go to google type in xbox 360 towel trick
this will get rid of the rings for about a week or so but after that you have to send it in to Microsoft...call them up at 1 800 4 MY XBOX and see what they can do...most usually agree and dont ask too many question...i have to send mine in for the second time already!! and during christmas break :-\ so it sucks for me....but see if MS will do anything...give them a call
