Don't need one. Call Microsoft up and see how the warranty for your unit is. If its under warranty they send you a box with prepaid postage and you send it back to them. Takes about 3 weeks total to complete. Microsoft customer service is terrible... so good luck with them.

My son has alot of experience with red rings. Basically what you do is take some towels and cover the 360 completely kinda overheats it and it should work for awhile.

dude thats the ring of death, and you probably put an early end to it by using it as your dvd player, this time around just go get a 40 dollar dvd from best buy, best part is you can play burned movies.

btw gta 4 is better
