My 360 finally went RROD

I purchased it in 4/26/06 and I never really had issues other than disc read errors till last week.While playing GTA4 it red lighted and I reset it and it went away.Well,today I wanted to play a little GTA4 and it wouldn't come on except for three blinking red lights.I called Microsoft and after having to repeat my address and info several times I think he got it right..Sigh..I usually don't like to give in to the RROD,but Microsoft needs to do better.How about a trade up program for the Elite??
I'm so into my 360 I can't just leave it and forget it..26 Xbox arcade games,over 40 360 titles on it and video,movies,etc plus Rockband.
I guess I won't be playing 360 much for the month of June afterall..

Damn, that sucks. Especially because of GTA. So what then are you going to play without it? I mean, the PS has got to get some time in (I have noticed you online a bit more lately...) but what games are you currently up in?

Cool shtuff. I'll probably rent Haze, and all the others you've listed, I already trudged my way through. GT5P is awesome. Same for Uncharted, that game was one of the few (relatively) short games on PS3 I found myself coming back to constantly. Good freakin' game.

My DVD drive crapped out last week. I just said screw it and went and bought a new arcade. I made sure I had one with the new chip and DVD drive. And the HDMI is a plus. I'll send the old one in when I get around to it.
