My cooling fan on my xbox 360 starting sounding like a jet engine three or four times before the "Ring Of Death" lit up red on my console... Any thoughts suggestions or tips.. Or if you're just pissed off like me feel free to rant..

Long Yahoo Name, that's not a very good answer nor was it very nice to say something like that. Give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that they know what they are doing, and don't assume that they don't now how to care for their extremely expensive investment, okay?
Anyway, I've had three friends with an xbox 360, all of which had their 360 die. One even had a $20 desk fan in their entertainment center to keep cool air flowing throughout it. Not just any old desk fan, a hunkin good one that blew a good strong breeze. 1 month out of warranty, the xbox 360 with the deskfan behind it completely died. He got it repaired though through the Xbox Repair Service.
It cost him $140. But, his newly repaired console is fully fuctioning now, and has a new 90 warranty on the console with the option to upgrade the coverage to 1 to 2 years. He bit the bullet by paying the repair price, but at least he doesn't have a $400 paperweight now : ) I hope you feel a little better now knowing you're not the only one experiencing this problem!

Do you place your 360 in an isolated area? If you do, it's probably overheating. The best thing to avoid this problem is to raise the 360 with books or something because the motherboard tends to be the hottest. I got that same problam as you but I just turn it off and let it cool before proceeding again. Or bash the damn thing with a mallett

Your chum is a device. XBOX 360 and PS3 have really a lot same picture engines. XBOX 360 regardless of the reality that has the whole on-line service as well as unique rights to multiple titles which won't be able to be discovered on the PS3 like Gears of warfare. even as this is authentic that the 360 does not comprise a Blu-Ray participant, the video games themselves are why you purchase a sport console or perhaps as it contains type of high quality titles, PS3 isn't even close to to the 360!
