![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Red Lights Of Doom !!!??Hi mate, Im not sure about the Xbox 360 Premiums, I only have ones from before they started putting HDMI ports in them, 1 premium has lasted years without any problems and 1 had just last about 6 months before it had to be sent in with the 3 RROD! The elite that I have has been running perfectly since day one, the noise has always been quiet and not one problem to date. But if anything should ever go wrong, Microsoft have extended the warranty on Xbox 360's soo much that you'll never have to worry about it. P.s. Plus Microsoft will send you a 1 Month free trial Xbox Live Gold when they send you back your xbox Hope this helps

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Red Lights Of Doom !!!??My brother's has recently had the red rings. He bought his like 2 years ago now I think, and I read somewhere that Microsoft extend the warranty to three years if you have the rings, allowing you to get it fixed. This is all good, but does anybody know how he'd get it replaced? Does he ring somebody, or email somebody? Ta! |

![]() ![]() | Re: Red Lights Of Doom !!!??I know that all the original release, or early release consoles have been given extended Warranty's due to the problems, my brother got his in June/July the year of release, then last year, after the standard 1 year warranty, he got red lights. Phone microsoft, they said they had extended warrantys on these xboxs, UPS guy came and picked it up, took it to their repair centre and they fixed it. Got the xbox back, red lights again, got it sent away AGAIN and got it sorted. Got a free copy of Perfect Dark Zero has compensation for the problem (though at that point it was on of the lower end titles, cant complain at a freebie though!)
