Phthisis said:My 360 finally gave up the ghost tonight. Manufactured in June of 06. I had Lost Planet in there last night, and suddenly it sounded like it started to scratch the disc during a multiplayer match. What do you know, I take it out today and it's got small circular scratches in it. Not enough to ruin the game, but still. Anyway, popped it back in, and I'm playing single player and suddenly it's graphical artifacts everywhere. GPU must have come unstuck from the board.
Was a good 15 months. Will be sending it in sometime this week.
Man... you gotta get that Best Buy in store warranty for 40 bucks extra (You would be back up and running by tomorrow night). I have used it 5 times so far because I have got 5 RRODs on 5 different systems. Anyways... bummer bout your ring. Gotta say welcome to the club though as unfortunately it has happened to us all it seems. I hope your lucky and get a falcon unit back if they don't repair yours.
