Red ring of death
My Xbox has developed the red ring of death. 3 little red lights flashing away. It took a few days to get to this after it started crashing. Since it is nearly 3 years old I thought I would have to pay for a repair, then, while on the phone to the repair line, it started to red ring. The only reason that I had phoned was because while filling out the repair request on the website I couldn’t have a German address with a UK billing address. Originally it would just beep and freeze, it was only while on the phone and going through all of his diagnosis steps that it first red ringed, fortunately, this means that no billing information is required so that solves that problem.
My Xbox did need to go for repair last summer as well, at the time they also extended my warranty by a year, this has now just ran out so I would have had to pay if it wasn’t the red ring problem. I am now waiting for the UPS shipping label to arrive so that I can send it off. I am hoping that it will arrive before I leave work today so that I can sort it out on the way home. I want to send it off as soon as possible in the hope that it will be back for the release on Halo 3: ODST next week which I already have on preorder. I have also just bought Trials HD on XBLA. Didn’t get much chance to play it but it seems like a good game.
