If it's a NEW xbox 360, you don't have to worry about it. Microsoft recalled some earlier models that had this problem, and they corrected the problem.

Check the manufacturing date on the 360. Its from 2006, then yes you will get the red rings. We've had to have Microsoft send us FOUR replacement Xboxs. We finally gave up and bought a new one from the store (with a manufacturing date in 07). But - the 360 has a three year warranty now, so you should call 18004myxbox and register your 360 with them. That way if you do get the red rings, you can send it to them and they will repair it. Good luck, I've had nothing but headaches from Microsoft because of the 360...

I bought my first xbox 360 in January 2007. I had the red ring of death 3 months later. I sent it back to Microsoft and 4 weeks later had another in my hands. I haven't had no problems with this one, it runs quiet and does not get hot on us. I have 3 kids who play on it for a long time, and myself and my boyfriend play it all day and have no problems with it getting hot. Just make sure that it doesn't get alot of heat around it. If you have a newer 360 (after the recalls) you should be fine. Enjoy the best next gen. console, it rocks!!!

i will in common words answer as at as quickly as as and choose THIS DOESNT in some way VIOLATE THE community regulations. shop your self the sadness, YOUR money and a very good variety of issues and purchase diverse kit notwithstanding the 360. ALL IVE HAD is no longer something yet problems with MINE. THEIR stay kit is oftentimes MESSING UP AND ITS LIKE HECK attempting to connect an striking variety of the time. THE MIKES you purchase to communicate to persons DONT very final extra desirable advantageous than a pair MONTHS in the past U GOTTA bypass purchase a clean ONE. OH YEAH AND STUPIDLY IM ON MY 4TH 360(IVE have been given some acquaintances THAT LOVE stay) diverse 3 have been given THE crimson rings OF dying in basic terms DAYS AFTER THE WARRANTIES RAN OUT. OH YEAH and you gets SUSPENDED FROM stay for putting on your BIO EVEN THE SMALLEST situation that is going against THEIR CODE OF habit. have self assurance ME different than YOU WANNA guard those issues A 360 IS a bad investment. AND OH YEAH in case you have A 360 sell OR commerce IT IN and purchase A PS3 OR diverse kit available.

if you recently just bought one it's fine, and it'll best if it's not just the pro ed, ie. elite ed etc but as trying to avoid it, just make sure you don't play near the sun or otherwise anywhere hot as that is the only reason that causes the ROD, yup it's heat, avoid it and it'll be fine
