So I had the three rings of death 2 weeks ago, sent it to repair, 2 days after - the dreaded lights pop up again.
So I tried the towel trick, but this time didn't plug it to the network - I played it for 5 days without any freeze, nor any red lights.
Yesterday I tried plugging it to the network again, played 5 mins - froze again and three red lights.
So I was thinking - is there any slim chance the red lights are connected to plugging the 360 to live?
I know it sounds crazy but you never know...

Just a noob question, as I might be getting an X360 as well:

Do the rings of death appear on unflashed/unmodded consoles as well, or only if something was changed?

Bringiton , the main problem of Xbox360 is that the CPU and GPU is cooled by a passive radiator , and the temps can reach 70C - 90C in a matter or 1-2h and the xbox overheats .
I had 4 xboxes with the red rings and after the 5th that was send to me by MS service i said fuck it and moded it with water cooling and to this day I never had any problems with it .

So like other here said PS3 is more a quality console then xbox360 , but 360 has more games not the PS3 ... maybe in the future things will change

or if you buy it get a big ass fan to behind your box to cool it

Thanks for the answers! Smile
So this means I will loose my warranty even if I DON'T use the patched firmware, as I'd have to install new heatsinks...
