    If you bought it less than 12 months ago, take it back to where you got it from.

    If not, look on the Xbox website about returns.

    is it three lights? Because thats covered by microsoft for 3 years, Mine went on friday but it's one light and an E74 error code - that's not covered after a year so I had to pay 70 quid for it fixed by microsoft. Couldnt be without one for the 3 weeks quoted so bought a new one and sent the buggered one off to them, it's going to be repaired and I get another years guarentee for it. Anyone want to buy an xbox in 2 to 3 weeks for £90? its a 20gb premium, might throw in a game or 2.

    Your warranty doesn't reset for another full year. You may possibly get 2-3 months.

    I'm on my 5th Xbox360 /poo Reliability

    If you've got an 2yr and 10 month old Xbox360 and you get the 3 RROD - On it's return, you don't get another 12 months warranty. You'll only get a small amount of time to cover the repair. This can be 1-3 months.

    I've had this argument out with Microsoft loads of times, the warranty is from Original Date of Purchase - The only time you can wangle an extra 12 months warranty, is if you return it to a store and they replace it and make the mistake in giving you a brand new dated receipt.

    It depends when you purchased it. All Xbox360's have a 3 year RROD warranty, if your console is 2 years old then yes, you'll have 1 year left for the RROD fault. If it's a launch console, then the 3 years is up on 5 December 2008.
