    Default CRASH and BURN XBOX 360

    Well I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but my XBOX 360 has crashed, I looked it up on the internet and it is supposedly a common problem. My machine has frozen up and has three red lights showing up around the on button. I'm going to see if i can contact microsoft Australia to see what they have to say about the problem. There is supposedly a simple solution but it cost about $25-$35 U.S to get a book and DVD to run you through the solution. Anyone else with this problem.

    Yep, thats the RROD (red rings of death).

    Call MS customer support in AUS ASAP to get a replacement. Anything else will prolly be a waste of time.

    that RROD can apparently be caused intentionally... I've seen a couple of kids doing it to the xbox360 in TRU stores!

    Haha sort of. Either play with the video port on the back until the rings turn red, or wait until the machine overheats in the plastic bubble they keep it in at TRU

    I sent an email off and also gave them a ring today, they have asked me to try a couple of things when I get home and then ring them back with the results and the serial code of my machine.

    Yeah, get the serial, call them up and say its broke. Pretend like you tested it and it hasn't worked. They ask to retest over and over because it usually will start working.

    Then it breaks.. haha, so just say its had it and you need a new one.

    As much as i like the 360 compared to the PS3, the actual machine is a POS.
