Sh1t last night i got 3 red rings on the front of my XBox for about 15 minutes
then they dissapeared i freaked out went on line and know my Fifa 08 wont bloody load
just before the match starts, i will be in the arena just about to kick the ball waiting to play somebody then
the game just crashes :angry: .

Do you think it's got something to do with the red light's ??? and what do i do? who can i phone
as i don't know much about the procedures of microsoft where the consoles are concerned.

0800 587 1102 - XBOX/MS SUPPORT

Hours of operation:
Monday-Friday: 09:00-22:00
Saturday: 09:00-20:00
Sunday: 09:00-17:00


Is your unit in a well ventilated place (a very well ventilated space) including the PSU? Or is it plugged into an extension socket strip....(it needs its own socket due to power surges/spikes etc) the console has an auto safety shut off feature in case of fluctuations in the electrical supply. Hence the (usual) instance of red rings.

First week i had mine (Jan 07) i had my XBOX stuffed into a cramped space and the PSU was on the floor next to it ....plugged into a 6 way EXT strip. Left on for about 8 hours, then the 3 Red rings struck! due to overheating.

Turned it off, repositioned all my kit and put the Power supply brick in a much better place - and had no problems AT ALL since that time. Try it mate (if you havn't already) before calling the number above. It may help.

Misty: I hate to break the bad news but I can guarantee you that you have one of those 16.7% dodgy Xboxs.

You only have it a short while and you'll definitely get the 3 red rings again and the next time it will probably be terminal.

Try to get Microsoft to send you a brand new unit rather than a refurbishment.

Not necessarily. Mine did the exact same thing in its first week, yet has been PERFECTLY FINE ever since (01/07) to date. Only ever did it the once.

Im on an Elite now with the new 'Falcon' motherboard, so i still have my fingers crossed this one will be as reliable. (Shouldn't have to be so cautious this way though).

I like the new features in the Unreal 3 engine. GoW2 will be awesome.

The tech demo for the new version of the U3 engine is doing the rounds on the net and it looks sweet.

It has some significant new features like significantly better lighting and water effects, significantly better physics and "soft" surfaces, destructible environments as well as the ability to have over 100 locusts on screen at once! (although I'll believe that if and when I see it in game).

As for co-op, I'd imagine we might get a chance to see 4 player co-op like Halo 3.
