Did you try trouble shooting? I got the red rings a few days ago and started freaking out, but I unplugged the power plug for 10 seconds and plugged it back in, and it was back to normal, phew. And why are you buying a new one? Why don't you just send it back to Microsoft?

Well unless it was 3 rings, then its not the red ring of death. On the next note, please tell me your trying to play call of duty 4, hands down best game ever. (Yes better then Halo 3, Golden Eye...)

I've had my system since the 360 first came out and have never had this problem. What are you guys doing to your system?

^I've gone through 4 systems in the past 2 years alone.

We're not doing anything to our systems, it's a manufacturer defect that Microsoft is evident of, but has done thing to address it immediately.

btw, if you do have the RROD problem, you're covered through M/Soft for an additional 3 years. They will either repair it for you or replace the unit for you. -- Contact M/Soft and they'll assist you.
