    I think my zbox died

    Last night started playing again, and would freeze mid game. Shitty thing is when you freeze mid game nothing you did/achieved gets recorded.

    Restarted multiple times, and the box now freezes at the xbox logo screen.

    No red ring, no error 74, just freezes. Haven't had a broken console system since buying an ORIGINAL PS2... this is a pretty big let down, considering I got this console when Halo 3 came out making it just over 2 years old. Granted I played the shit out of it... still should last.

    Oh well, looks like tomorrow is going to be full of non-stop back and forth phone calls.

    GL, but try booting your xbox without the hard drive in to see if its that?

    Yea I will. Any idea how I can create a red ring glitch. Seems just freezing to the point of not playing isn't good enough for themt o extend my warranty. None the less I am playing this true Karanji style and expect a nice return once all is said and done... sadly I think I will still need to buya new xbox this week.

    wrap it in a towel and let it run for an hour. Keep an eye on it obviously.

    RMA the red ring xbox, buy a different one at best buy. when your red ring comes back, return the best buy one.

    I towled my zbox, got the three red rings, shipped it back today, and will keep my new elite on my PC, but put my old one on my HD TV :)

    Gives me something to play street fighter, mass effect, and xbox arcade games on.

    Also, has anyone messed around with Netflix on XBL? Is it pretty awesome, and how much does it costs per month?
