    If you tell them its the three red rings, Theyll book a repair, It'll get to Germany and they'll test it, Probably post it back to you unrepaired.

    Not worth risking it though, Theyll be pretty cheesed off if you lie and tell them you get the 3 red rings.

    if i say to them I have the three lights of doom will they check this out?? xx


    Dude, ignore everyone else.

    My Xbox had the E74 error outside of 1 year and I sent it off as a RROD issue and they repaired it.

    The e74 issue is a similar issue to RROD so they do cover it.

    So tell them you have the 3 RROD and they will repair it for you

    and if it arrivers with M$ and they request payment then what would you suggest?
    will you pay this for the OP?

    Hi folks

    Twice my son's Xbox 360 went in for those flashing light repair, my son has autism, and adores this console so much. and the console will be 3 years old this coming christmas, I know they have automatically covered these for 3 of those years, am I correct? (for the ring of death lights)
    I think it used to be 2 years.
    The one and only "Dizzy Di" :D
