And yup, even after leaving it overnight (unplugged even), my 360 is borked.

Still getting 2 red lights, this time it happened the moment i turned the system on. This supposedly means it overheated.

At least you lnow. When mine overheated it just would not load a disk some of the time. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 12:16 3

  - SFEK: Microsoft's xbox support website is remarkably detailed. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:18 1
    - Yeah, I mean that mine would work fine and then I would go to change games and it would not work, and then 15 minutes later it would. - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 12:25
But wait, that means they'll fix it now that you're getting red lights? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 12:12 3
- no, the RROD warranty extension only applies to a true RROD, with three red lights in a particular orientation -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:17 2

  - Yeah, the warranty is one year, magically extended to three years for RROD. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:19

- I leave my PS3 on all the so it does the folding thing. but I shut off the Xbox when I'm done. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:21 5
  - National average electric bill for 24x7 PS3 folding would be $12.23/mo. -- (link) - oblique Jul 30, 12:24 3
    - I suspect it would cost less for Remlik. He's in a Nuclear state, isn't he? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:25 2
      - I don't think so. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:28
      - RTFA! - oblique Jul 30, 12:27
  - ayup -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 12:21
- Naw, that's probably okay. 360's (especially older ones) have ridiculously high failure rates. - Tim Jul 30, 12:16 1
  - i was lucky to get the rrod. - tRuMaN Jul 30, 12:16

- I've had it since Xmas 2007 so yeah, it's out of warranty for anything that's not RROD. This supposedly doesn't qualify for that. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:15 15
  - That's what happened to us. I think it's $149 to fix. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:16 14
    - at that rate, might as well buy a new one. yikes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:18 12
      - Yup, you can buy a discounted Arcade for that much. -- nm - Inigo Jul 30, 12:19 9
        
        And I can just detatch the harddrive and put it on the new one, right -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:20 8
        
        Yup, keep in mind though that the new Slim Arcade is supposed to be coming out next month. - Inigo Jul 30, 12:23 1
        
        nice. Yeah, hold out for that. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:24
        
        umm, i cannot remember. ask david, I think you have to do something to retrive your xbox account. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 12:21 1
        
        The account itself transfers over, but you have to do a license transfer for some online content ... - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:23
        
        This is what we did but I've kept the old one in case there were ever a cheap way to fix it. I'd send it to Qale. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:21 3
        
        if you send it tome I bet I can get it fixed for $50. I can check if you want. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:22 2
        
        Yeah, please check. We had the same issue as Tim. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:24 1
        
        I will on Saturday, I have to call him to fix a hard drive issue on a friends xbox. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:28
      - seriously. wow. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 12:18 1
        
        pretty sure you can get an arcade for $199 (sometimes $149) and drop the old HD into it -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:19
    - Though there are some online sites that claim they can do it for $49. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:16
