My first response was going to be yes...spend $100+ to get it repaired, even though there is a 3 year warranty on 360's that red ring. BUT, i'll be a nice guy and simply suggest you call up XBL support and tell them it red ringed (3 lights right)? They should have a coffin in a mail and to you in a week or two.

You should be grateful that it lasted two years, most don't get past a year.

Mines approaching 1 year in a couple weeks and i've been gaming on a standard def. TV. My new HDTV should be arriving next week so i have a feeling that is going to push the 360 over the edge :(

It should be covered and all you do is have to call.... like a previous poster said your lucky it lasted 2 years... the one I had ringed out about 6 months after I got it and I did not even play it that much.... that was it for me took it in and replaced it with my warranty and sold it to my brother. The new one I sold to my brother has not ringed out "yet" but constantly freezes up and gives him the Disc read error screen.

What a POS
