Red Ring of Death

I've been doing some thinking ( boy ,does my head hurt ! ),while waiting for my 360 to get back. You would think a company as big as Mircosoft  would figure out a way to prevent their console from doing a meltdown.I only had mine for seven months before the red rings started flashing. They wanted to be the first ones outta the gate but i think (there goes that word again ) they might have been a little too hasty.Especially for a next-gen hardware. I think they should have waited longer,and get more testing done to figure out a way to keep the console cooler.
No use in worrying now.What's done is done.Hopefully i won't have to send my 360 back multiple times.This.....wait......is ......killing........me.....I think i'll go cry in the corner now.

Peace !

Mine has always worked, but I don't push it too hard... just Halo 2, occasional CoD2, lots of XBLA.

Last year I fell victim. It was just past the original 3 mos warranty. Having heard about problems I bought the extended warranty at BestBuy. They sent me a shipping label and I sent them my 360. A couple weeks later I got a gift card for the total amount plus tax.\r \r I ran back to BestBuy and got another.\r \r I had been playing Oblivion for many hours over many nights. It got hot as hell.\r \r I bought the Nyco Intercooler this time and many more hours of GoW, Oblivion and GHII have seen no issues.\r \r Wouldn't a watercooled system be great?\r
