Brand new Xbox with the newest drive Flashed red with new game.

[Heavens Gate]

It's a brand new Xbox. I purchased Lord of the rings and the game froze 30% into it and a red light came on and said it needs service. I unplugged it overnight and it hasn't done it in 5 days. Anyone else have this ocurrence? It's only happened once and my Xbox is brand new with the newest drive. Luckily I have a 2 year warranty!

Wierd...never happened to me. Usually the red light means a fatal error and your xbox needs repair.

[Xbox Owner]

probably bought a defective xbox...

I'd exhange it and save your self the possibility of a future pain in the rear, HG.

i dunno as long as it hasn't done it i think you're ok but since you got a 2 yearer you should prolley take it bak.

Yeah, mines well... Its better than it crappin out when u really want it, and having to go through to trouble, weird though~

[Reclaimer]

Hey man, if you just bought it, then you should bring it back to avoid any future grief.. (sounds familiar?)
Don't bother waiting to see if it'll happen again. Take care of it now, and get a fresh box.

Three words: use your warranty! Skip the headache.

Well, after playing ESPN yesterday, the Xbox made a weird noise after ejecting. It sounded like a car that won't start in the winter. I was mad as hell and took it back and explained to them I had a ton of music on there that I couldn't transfer. They gave me a brand new Xbox, renewed my 2 yr warranty, 2 free games and a $30.00 rebate. I think that is fair.

[Crazy Joe]

that's a pretty sweet deal actually.... i'm surprised they gave you free stuff... if i were you i would use that $30 to buy Xbox Music Mixer so you can transfer all your music straight from your PC without having to burn it all... it's free money anyway right?

bah put that 30 bucks towards rainbow six 3
