Give it to charity.

The last two RRoDs I get they repaired for free. Just call them 1-800-4MY-XBOX

Get it fixed by Microsoft if the 360 is less than 3 years old. Check the back of the system for the serial number and manufacturer's date.
Anyway if it is out of warranty either pay to have it fixed at a mod shop or sell it on EBay.
BTW: Do not use the towel trick that temporarily fixes it and does not last very long at all. The towel trick can potentially result in burning down your house if you are not careful.

My console was manufactured 3/15/2007, and the standard warranty expiration is 9/15/2008. I guess they give it 6 months to sell. I think you're still covered. btw my RROD is getting fixed right now.

Put it on eBay. Victims of the recent mass ban could have some use for it.

It's a typo, he obviously meant "tin fowl", now that makes a lot more sense!

I don't have a Windows Live account or anything, is there a number I can call to just czech if it has a warranty with the serial number?

If a free 360 just fell out of the sky, I'll have to lay off Microsoft and double my Sony trolling. That's gonna be rough.

Well, any hotmail email address with work as well.

 

Check the manufacturers date on the back of the 360. That'll tell you if the warranty has expired.

2006-09-20.  Damn.

Sucks, but that is probably why the person threw it out.
