The Xbox 360 Pro (20 gb) that I bought back in March of 2008, and regrettably sold to my brother-in-law 6 months ago,

finally got the RRoD virus, ironically,  while I was borrowing it from him.  I was playing the Call of Duty 2 demo, remembering

old times when I actually owned the game, when the system froze on me.  I turned off the Xbox 360, thinking nothing was

wrong, and went and got a milkshake from McDonald's.  I decided to play the CoD 2 demo again when I got back and turned

the Xbox 360 on, when, to my surprise, the Red Ring of Death had taken it over.  I had only been playing the demo for less

than 10 minutes prior to it freezing on me.

So, let's see, the manufacture date is, December 27, 2007 and I don't know what chip set it had, but the "number" is 12V---16,5A.

Anyways, I will be sending it in to Microsoft so it can be fixed, for my brother-in-law.  I did have a two year extended plan from the

store I bought it from so I wonder if I can just get a new one from the store?  I seriously doubt that.  Well, I am not too bummed

out about it.  It lasted for about a year and a half without any problems so I am content with that result and I look forward to the

Xbox 360 return from the afterlife.

meh that sucks.
I think MS will fix it for you for free though, even if the retailer won't so you should be ok

I'd definitely try to return it to the store if you got a two year warranty first. Getting a brand new system is definitely much better than a refurbished one.

it sounds like its a falcon. but M$ will fix this assuming it hasnt been opened

I was thinking that as well.  Also, it would save me the time to have to ship it to Microsoft and waiting for it's return.

I don't think my brother-in-law, nor I, know how to even open it, so that is a plus.

Clearly this is punishment for going to McDonald's. I can't say you don't deserve it.

Anyway, based on the manufacture date it has to still be under warranty for RRoD, so it's just an inconvenient few days of waiting instead of a very costly service. Hopefully the next one holds up better.

^thats probably a good thing. i have a nasty habit of opening and modifying all the xboxs ive owned. lol

This is a badmouth thread by an unknown member should be locked. All RROD goes into the RROD thread.

Badmouth thread?  Unknown member?  Huh?  How was I badmouthing the Xbox 360? And clearly I am a member of Vgchartz.

I did mention that I, REGRETTABLY, sold it to my brother-in-law.  So, I wasn't badmouthing the Xbox 360 for the RRoD.  I did

fail to mention that I intend to buy another Xbox 360, for myself, when I have the money.
