    If it's less than three years old, Microsoft will repair it for free.

    Contact them on 0800 587 1102.

    Thank you so much for that-will I need to ask for that or will they just repair it?

    They have extended the warranty to three years for "red ring of death" faults. Once you tell them the problem, they'll tell you how to start the repair process.

    Sounds more like a software issue to me (Unless theyre saying it freezes anytime)

    I'd like to see a campaign to bring down the cost of games.

    how about a campaign to reimburse people who paid the same as what they pay now for games 15 years ago.

    Good point. They games were much worse too. The PS1 was named a "Yuppy toy" and I think cost about £500.00 when it came out... but who wants to compensate yuppies?
