This entire red ring of death thing just makes me sick. Consumers who have continued to reward such a shoddy product with continued sales should be ashamed. Microsoft puts out so many products (software and hardware) that are so extremely flawed that I can't believe that they didn't go out of business years ago. I believe that so many people defend Microsoft because it's an American company and we as Americans are always told to "buy American". If this exact same situation were to happen to a foreign company such as Sony or Nintendo, people would be making a lot bigger deal out of it. I don't care how good you think the software is. Reliable hardware on which to play the software should trump all.
Keep this in mind when reading what I type...
