that is the main problem with xbox 360 consoles. it is a popular problem. call 1-800-4-myxbox and tell them your xbox is broken. they will immediately ask you if there is a red ring around your xbox power button. once you say yes they will send you a box in which you ship your xbox back to them and they either fix it or send you a brand new one for no charge. they also give you a free 1 month subscription as an xbox live gold member as apologies for the inconvenience.

PS3 owns the x-box 360 any day of the week ahah.

Wii pwns hands down, but I am a Nintendo fan so I am biased.

And the truer words could not be spoken was in response to the snes post.

gl, if you find them int hat condition you will have done what it has taken me 10 years to do.

Also you will have spent about $600 more then you needed to, to get yourself an x-box.

here is an example bro.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Final-Fantasy-III-SNES-BRAND-NEW-FACTORY-SEALED-WOW_W0QQitemZ160118181295QQihZ006QQcategoryZ62053QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Final Fantasy III sealed with 5 days left already at $200+.

Good luck finding the others, which are even more rare then Final Fantasy.

Honestly though if you find Secret of Mana sealed hit me up.

Almost all of the x-box 360's did that. That's the reason they where being so generous.

That's what happens when you release an unfinished product just to try and beat Sony to the punch :: (

haha my buddy got the 3 red lights and microsoft sent him a box to send the 360 back in. the day the "coffin" as he put it came the 360 started working again. now every time it acts up he just places the coffin next to it and it goes back to normal.

PS3 is gay. wii and 360 are the best. wii is totally innovative, and 360 is going to have halo 3 and it has GOW. PS3 only has a large cock up its ass.

you probably have to send it in, but... i know on the old Xbox if you didn't have every thing plugged all the way the light turned red so make sure every thing is hunkydory back there before calling Xbox.

As of right now the 360 is the best system out there.
the PS3 is to expensive, doesn't have any killer apps yet and the graphics are on par with the 360
o and the online is no where near as organized as XBL

the wii is cool it just doesn't have the games yet

when you buy it, you get a month of gold free, activate with the code that is included w/ the console. After the month if you dont renew, you automatically get reduced to silver, which is free for life. you cant play online, but you can DL games and patches ect.
