I was playing MLB 2k7 and the power went out, At first the system went off and one red light came on, that's means power failure right? Then as I rushed to turn it off two more lights starting blinking, making a total of three blinking lights. What would you guys do?

Turn it off then on again. It should be fine. Same thing happened to me awhile back.

They ought to change that number. It's not just "my" Xbox anymore, man. It's pretty much fuckin' every other person's.

I have no idea what you're talking about OP. They continue to love the box, the Live attach rates are great.

Hey guys, I just turned it on, and the first time I got a single red light so I quickly turned it off. 10 minutes later I turned it on again and it seems fine.

Be careful, just don't breathe on it.

Really I must have seen the red lights 4+ times (damn Florida thunderstorms) but it's still trucking fine.
It's just something that happens when the power goes off unexpectedly.

thanks guys, I hopped on and played some ghII with no problems, and after your reports I feel a lot better.

Happened to me a month ago on my then two week old Elite. Didn't know if it was a lightning strike or power surge, but I did nearly crap my pants when I saw the three red lights. Turned it off then back on and everything was roses again.

yeah, the 3 rings dont always mean death. Ive got it twice and everytime i just turned it off and back on and it always worked like a charm.

did you stick your penis in it when the lights went off?
That might break it too...
but no in all seriousness, your 360 is on the verge of dying, congrats and welcome to the club. remember death is not always sudden, it will be gradual.

His 360 is fine. A sudden loss of power gives you red lights, whether it was caused from a power outage or just a loose Intercooler or whatever.
Go unplug your A/V cable right now and turn your Xbox 360 on. OH NO! RED LIGHTS!!!! BETTER CALL MS AND THEN BITCH ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNETS!!! That doesn't mean it is going to break.
