    but it still works! :p  pretty funny

    we won this 360 back when it first came out (actually we got a week before it came out) im suprised it lasted so long, we knew it would go eventually.

    it didn't work at first when it did the red lights, but now it works every time while the red lights are still flashing

    what we did to fix it was just take the hard drive off for a minute, let it sit off, put it back on, and it worked fine, while hte red lights still stay on, it works fine :)

    I sent it off to MS to take advantage of the extended warranty anyway... but im so addicted to live, I bought a Elite in the interim.... im just going to sell the box when it comes back as being newly refurbished.
