its seems everyone in the world is having the same problems with xbox 360 and the three red light problem.it seems the xbox breaks down every few months at the least and to add to my problem it took them FOUR months to come and get it they were so sorry they sent me out perfect dark zero ,worst game ever created , so all in the first time i was without xbox for 5 months now when they sent it back, all the arcade games have been wiped of my xbox and MS said they would refund me (1200 points) onto my account and that was 4 months ago and still no points. now of course just happy to get it home again then bamm 2 months three red lights since then i have again phoned up microsoft been waiting a month already for stamps
ok now i seen on a site(you tube, but now removed) that there is a law in uk about if you buy a product and it breaks twice within 5 years you have right to take it back by law does anyone know anything about this .
p.s sorry bout the long winded post ;)

Ok, xbox 360's get three red lights when they have become overheated. Its as simple as that.
The answer?
Mod your xbox.
The console gets ridiculously hot, which means the internal fans are not doing a good enough job to cool it down. Many (and i mean many) people, are adding pc fans which cost about £3, to the sides and back of their console, and this has been proven to work.
The fans dont have to be stuck to the xbox, and the setup itself is actually really straight forward.
Go on youtube, and type "xbox cool mod green fan" in search engine.
And you will see a video somewhere with an image of a green fan and an xbox. This video has my favourite setup.
It works, its very cheap. So theres your solution.

What can you do about the Xbox 360? Stop buying it! I don't understand why people continue to buy a faulty console. If you don't already have a PS3, I recommend it. I've had mine since December 2006 and I haven't had one problem with it.
Just save yourself the money, time, and frustration and get a PS3. There's supposed to be another Xbox 360 to come out that wont overheat or have as many hardware problems, but I think that Xbox 360's will always have hardware problems because Microsoft was more interested in releasing the 360 before the PS3, therefore they couldn't focus on quality control like Sony did with the PS3.

Get the money out of ur bank then buy the xbox 360 but first is ask the people to make sure u buy it. secondly when u got the xbox 360, go to the moniters and tell them ur details.
Thirdly u ask the price.
Fourthly u get the box and u got the xbox 360 and ur off
Fithly setup
Lastly play

What the hell is the guy above me talking about?!
I haven't had the red lights of death, but my brother did and it was because of that big problem they had for awhile. But he sent it to them and they got it back to him within 2 weeks and he hasn't had the problem since.
I hope I don't get those lights....
