Well, I've had my 360 since December '05, so ive done pretty well to have no troubles with it, until today...
I suppose i knew it was coming with a couple of crashes the last few times i used it. Came to play my newly bought Bioshock, it froze on boot screen. Switched it off and back on and bingo! 3 red lights.
After doing some reading on the forums i found that they now offered a 3 year warrenty on three red lights, so i rang Microsoft CS, went through the steps they wanted, such as unplugging the cables etc. After all of that the 4th red light lit up. I was then informed that because it was now 4 lights i would have to pay the repair costs as the extended warrenty only covered the three light error.
How unlucky is that!
Not really sure what to do now. Just needed somewhere to vent. Seen these posts all to often and for whatever reason i believed that I was lucky with my console.
Ahh well
