Forums - Microsoft - I expected a RRoD, but got DRE instead.

Buy a new XBox 360 console. They are cheap these days. $200 is cheap for an Arcade XBox 360.
I have had my original XBox 360 for two and a half years. It started RRODing and DRE for over 2 months started back in October this year. I got sick of using towel trick so I have sent it to be repaired just within three year RROD warranty expiring. I sent my console away on December 22nd and bought a new XBox 360 Arcade on December 20th.

My 360 thinks it's a PS2 or something.

 

Had my 360 for over a year with no problems. Now out of the blue it decides it doesn't want to read disks. Not even giving me an error message or anything.  Anyone else get this problem before?

Dude, that sucks.

quick question - do you keep your 360 standing vertically or do you lie it down horizontally?

I keep it horizontal. I don't trust vertical.
