For X Box 360... when there are red rings on your X Box 360 what does that mean? I know it's bad but explain.

Question

For future reference in case this happens to me I'd like to know. My brother and I are going to buy the X box 360 premium, extra wireless controller, extra wired headset, halo 3, controller charger, and gold membership.

Answer 1

called the red ring of death, in the early core and premium boxes they made a mistake of putting too long of a s***w through the mother board and into a head sink. the xbox runs hot and at some time or another it can't take the heat anymore and fries the motherboard which u then get 3 red lights on the front. if or when it happens, call 18004myxbox and send it out to get fixed, all xbox's have 2 year warranty now and if for some reason its out, it might cost u $100. and be prepared to wait atleast 4 weeks to get it back. xbox is deffinately the system to get, but this was a problem that they know about and are fixing, hope this helps

Answer 2

it means the xbox 360 is having a hardrive failure and you cant use it anymore in till you get it repaired
