Anyone get Xbox 360 ring of death

after one year of having an xbox 360 I have no complaints except for the loud fan noise which is usually covered up by turning up the volume. Anyways I didn't think I would get this because I got the newer version with HDMI output. Well I got it anyways now I am really close to switching to a PS3 except that I enjoy the 360 controller a lot better. What do you think?

It happens. No reason to change to a different console. My ps3 also had a hardware problem that led to my sending it twice in a row. They are complex machines. Complex machines break.

Call em up and send it back - I believe there is a 3 year warranty on the red ring of death. It only takes a week or so to flip it back to you. As far as switching - meh. Lots of titles come out for one or the other so it's better to have both

just called xbox spent an hour arguing with them because I am two weeks out of my warranty. Three year warranty for three red flashing lights and one year for one flashing red light. They said it would be 99$ for repair and I said hell no and eventually they gave me 50% discount on the repair price. I was tired of arguing so I took that. BOo
