This past Saturday, we (myself, my girlfriend, and my girlfriends younger sister) were watching movies, using the Xbox 360 of course. Everything was fine, the movies played back with no problems, nothing. A friend asks me if I want to play Rock Band 2, naturally I said yes. I pop the disc in, and nothing happens. The 360 power indicator turns green, which it normally does when I turn it on, but after that, nothing. No signal what-so-ever to my TV. Then it happened; 3 red rings. SHIT!

I turned the 360 off, unplugged and replugged everything and still 3 red rings. Considering my console is a launch unit from October 2005 (though I bought it in May 2007), it was expected this would eventually happen, but damn, am I still disappointed. Thankfully my warranty expires on May 20th, 2009, so it picked the perfect time to breakdown. I just got done boxing it up in it’s coffin, will be shipping it off to Microsoft later today. Looks like I’ll be gaming on my PC and PSP for the next 3-4 weeks :)
