so today i was playing some mw2 (honestly i didnt even play for over an hour!) when all of a sudden i noticed that the maps had like little black squares/lines but the sky was normal. i read on another thread that he had the same problem and im not asking "how to fix the error" cuz im def not taking my 360 apart.. but anyway.. i got on my computer and tried requesting a repair just to find out that my warranty expired!! i thought wtf i bought my 360 the summer of 2008! how did it expired. i sent them an email (cuz it was too late to call) so now im waiting to see what they say! im writing this cuz im pissed that we have to suffer the consequences because of their mistakes! and its dumb that we have to pay $100 just to get it fixed!

i feel better now (but not really) writing all this makes me less angry.. not..

but it does help a little haha

anyway.. i dont know what they're going to say about me getting my 360 in 2008

if they say something like "your xbox wasnt purchased in 2008" or something like that what can i say? or do?

microsft have recently added a 3 year extention to any 360 no matter what the age so just ring them up and they fix it you for free in around 2 weeks. I just did it and got a brand new xbox 360 back 8) It covers the 3 red lights and the E74 i believe.....

Uk number: 0800 587 1102

Hope this helped you out.....

yeh...... RROD sucks :!:

i dont no why microsoft just fix all the console errors by increasing the heatsinks like on the elite and putting better 12v fans in....lol

It sucks for the gamers and for microsft because they have thousands to replace a week it must cost alot of money...

Edit: the E74 is due to the GPU overheating and the RROD is the CPU and the GPU overheating..
