I tried to convince him to get the PS3 but it was a no go = he says his hands are too big for the controllers! Not so sure about that, but anyway - going to Walmart now to check this out.
I will also be @ Target for the new Call of Duty? I think thats the one on Tuesday morning - my DS won't stop talking about this game. New carrot for homework!!

The rings of death is covered for up to 3 years from the date of manufacturer on the box! You don't even need your receipt to get it fixed.
Just call 1-800-4MY-XBOX and tell them you got 3 flashing red lights, they will want to know the color on your power supply when you power the box on, if it is green you will send in the box only, if it is yellow you will send in the box and the cords. You will NOT send in your hard drive.
They will send a shipping label to your email, print it off, and get a box from USPS (OR ANYONE), take it to the post office and in 3 weeks you'll get your xbox back fixed of that dreaded red ring of death.
Just look on the back of it, and it will say the date it was born, if it has been within the last 3 years that xbox is still under manufacturer warrantee that covers the RROD and E74 errors regardless of if you bought the extended warranttee or not.
This is a special problem that XBOX is aware of and is trying to fix for everyone for FREE!...as long as it hasn't been opened by anyone...that will void the warrantee.
