look it up and the microsoft place is in texas somewhere, believe its over here, if you have ever seen that microsoft building or not, but you could probably save time on shipping it, go to www.xbox.com
Ok ... Is it 3 red flashing lights ? If so , you are in luck Microsoft has issued an extended warranty on the Xbox for this very reason. mine did that 2 weeks ago and I called them and they take care of it on their tab.... All you have to do is call 1-800-4my-xbox and speak to a customer service rep they will set it up... They send you a empty box with a pre-paid return label to send it in , repair it and ship it back... In my case they sent me a brand new unit along with a 1 month Xbox lve card... Pretty sweet deal huh....
I got mine back from having in repaired about 3 weeks ago, it took them about 5 business days and it was FREEEEEEEEEEE. The number MellowYellow is the one I called. The three red rings usually means that your 360 got overheated. After you get it back you should get a fan for it to keep it cool

I waited to buy one for this reason, I thought they already had taken care of the problem.

Pft...PS3 isnt anything special but 300$ more. Unless it is a PS only game you seek.
I have had mine for 4 or 5 months now, no problems, it did go red once, i restarted it and it has been fine since.

just look on the box, it will have a place to punch out a square in the box, that has the serial behind it, it will have the serial and will say manufacturer date, the new one i picked up was sometime in 2006
It was actually the design in the way the heatsinks were attached to the motherboard. They used a "X" type band. The board heats up so hot, the "X" clamp bends the board and the chips start to unsoldier from the board. Which is what causes the ring of death.
I have read all over the internet of people shipping them in to microsoft and supposedly getting them fixed. Then you read more only to find out that they are on their 3rd and 4th xbox due to this problem.
If you are asking how did I fix mine, I did some googling on the problem. Found 2 different methods that basically did the same thing. It removes the "X" clamp and changes it out to bolts that hold the board down.
If you are scared to do it and your machine is out of warrenty (as mine was), then PM me.
