Three Red Lights Of Death!!! And it hurts inside....

Re: Three Red Lights Of Death!!! And it hurts inside....

My siblings' 360 got the RRoD about three weeks ago, but we didn't have any trouble getting it shipped out and back. In fact, when we got it back, the letter in the box said they'd simply replaced it. The problem with that was I then had to spend an hour on the phone with XBL to get the processing started on reassigning the licenses to all our damned Downloaded Content.
30 minutes with one person I could barely understand asking me if I'd tried deleting/redownloading and me telling her repeatedly that we had, that I KNEW what was wrong with it, that all I needed was for the licenses to be reassigned because our 360 had been replaced. It took her 30 minutes to finally get that, and kick me up to her supervisor who came on and said 'Ma'am, the problem is your licenses will have to be reassigned.'
...it took all of my willpower not to curse someone. No. Shit. I've only been saying that the entire past hour.
Finally they tell me they'll send the request and give us a call in 5-10 days when it's done.

Exact same thing happened to me except they said 30 days....I'm not holding my breath though.

Still working on my 360 from launch day. no rrod. not one, ever. it has overheated a few times because i had it in an entertainment center with no ventilation.

I've logged nearly 200 (played) days of ffxi on it as well as dozens of hours of movies and damn near thousands of hours of other games. No rrod.

Guess I'm just lucky idk. Sucks about your probs. I'd say best bet is to hope its a brand new one with the Falcon processor. The Falcons are much more efficient and heat friendly.

Well, I guess this saga comes to a close... I received my Box back on Thursday. Good thing, UPS gave me an auto-call the day before and let me know it would be delivering the next day. I'm still playing on my roomates Box and haven't even opened it yet, but I'm not worried. Peace!

vaguely-necro'ing ftw.

It's been over two weeks since then and we've received no call, nor is our content yet working.

I'm anticipating a very angry call to XBL soon.
