hugh_b Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hey guy's, got an x-box 360 premium/pro for xmas. Used it for the last couple of days (admittedly quite a bit) but it's already done the 3 red light "ring of death" situation!! I've stored it properly so it didn't get hot etc. Has anyone else had this happen so soon??? My parents got it through Amazon online and were sending it back but i've read a lot of stories where people have sent their consoles back and been given other peoples refurbished consoles which do the same thing after a short period of time. I think i'll be asking for a refund and then go and buy it elsewhere such as "game" so i can walk it and sort it out face to face if it occurs again. I was playing cod4 on it quite a bit so i've ranked up a lot online and unlocked loads of things, will this be saved on my x-box live gamer tag or on my hard drive which is going back with the console??? cheers-hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 (edited) That usually means the cable for the tv isnt in properly. But, i sent mine away and got it back, the motherboard had apparently died aswell.Your gamertag is saved onto Live so you can retrieve it. Can also retrieve it at mates houses via the dashboard so you can play with your tag at their houses etc. Edited December 28, 2007 by Si-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hey mate, if you can get a refund and get an Xbox 360 Elite there less liable to do this. Also, i believe it should be saved onto your gamertag but don't accuse me if im wrong. But if you can't get a refund you will have to send it back to Microsoft which will take a good 4-6 weeks to get your Xbox back. But by the looks of things with Christmas just gone don't be annoyed if its longer. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I sent my Xbox back via UPS about a week and a half before christmas, it turned up a week later...Doesn't take that long at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
