Even if you have had it for over a year they should cover it since it is a well known issue (almost like a TSB), and as for customer service I haven't had a problem and I have had to deal with them 3 times. I love the red ring so much I've had it happen 3 times and I don't even use the 360 that often so it really wasn't an inconvenience.

There are a lot of different red rings that it can give. Is it lighting up 3 of the lights or just 2 or 1? On mine I get 2 a lot when I turn it on but all I do is turn it off and back on.

That is a great FAQ to figure out if you have the actual ring of death.

Good point. If you call microsoft you will be asked how many rings are lit up and if you can tell what positions they are in, or at least that is what they asked me.

Ya i went through all the FAQ. its 3 rings with the top right one not illuminated. So it stated that its a hardware problem and it must be sent in.

As for down time the first time I sent it in I got a new one within 1 week and the others were 2 weeks, so you shouldn't be with out it for long.
