Jasper unit ...thumbs down.
My Jasper 360 is only 6 weeks old and it red ringed tonight.
Do you think Best Buy will give me a new one since the purchase was so recent? I was kind of expecting this but hoping that I got lucky. What a pain in the ass. I blame Fallout 3 for this.

Sigh, now if only Microsoft would just start putting these together at a higher standard. There's only so far more efficient chips will go before they melt the solder and slide off their board placements.

yup! they'll turn it around for you and pay for shipping both ways. At least the return repair is super easy. You'll be without it for only a couple weeks (if i remember correctly). BUT, it shouldn't rrod after that.
i mean... it probably wont.... mine hasn't.... uh... I'm just going to turn it on and check on it...

My Elite is still going strong so far but, I know it only a matter of time.

How long were you playing Fallout 3 for in your session?

Re: Jasper unit ...thumbs down.
Bah, that sucks. Are you installing games like FO3 to the hard drive? It's currently my main "long play" game right now -- I play it for three or four hours at a time -- and it's the only one on my HDD.
Re: Jasper unit ...thumbs down.
Fallout 3 is installed on my HDD. I guess I have had a few sessions that have lasted for 10 hours or so. At any rate my Xbox 360 is fine. The problem was the user apparently. I unplugged the A/V cables and plugged them back in and it is fine....hopefully.
