360 launch machine
Well just put the 360 on for a blast on GOW had to update as soon as it came on so did, joined a game from an invite to be met with a frozen screen with fuzz all over it, turned the machine off to then be greeted with 3 red lights and the top right one out, looks like a hardware failure !!!

Unlucky 
But, you'll get it repaired for free. By the way, It might start working again in the short term, for a week or so, then it will properly die and youll have to send it off anyway.
Call MS and they will sort you out.

Well got it back this morning, 8 days after sending it away !!
Now's time to give it some hammering and see if it lasts out, it also seems quieter than before when playing games ??

8 days is not a bad turn around!
I've only had the rings of death once on my Launch day machine. Was expecting the worst but it's been pretty reliable since!
Just hoping that if it does go wrong, it goes wrong before the 3 years is up!

8 days nice 
I've just rung xbox support to get mine sorted as I think my DVD drive is on its way out. Moving house soon as well so don't want to move and still not have the 360 back, and I doubt they'll let me change the return address

IIRC the extended warranty only cover the RROD and not any other problem. I also think my DVD drive is about to go bye-bye, so I'm planning on using the towel trick to trigger the RROD before ringing MS to replace it.

Well mine is over 1 year old now by 5 days but that's when I bought it from the shop, I rang xbox support from work thinking they'll give me troubleshooting stuff to do, but I told them I'd done the cache clear and a few other thing, so they got my xbox details up and said its still in warranty so I'll send you the shipping labels to return it for a repair
but yeah I did think the same it only covers RROD but hay I'm not to argue..
