Yes some games lag online and the 3 red lights means your system has crapped out. Make sure you get a warranty if you can.

The Kid Blaze · 10-24-2006, 10:30 PM

only thing that sucks is u lose everything once u get the lights even if u got the warranty you dont keep your hard drive

^Where did you buy your 360? I bought mine at Best Buy with a warranty, if I ever have any problems with it I can just bring it in to the store. Then will give me a new system I believe.

sledge hammer · 10-25-2006, 03:41 PM

ahh ok the warranty should be 1 year anyways

El Scorpio · 10-26-2006, 06:06 AM

Outside USA you get a year I think, well in Europe you do.
In some shops in US you get a year too though.

The lag onloine should be gone now (mainly), it's usually because somebody in the game has got a bad connection.

During the maintenance on Xbox Live a lot of new servers were added in preporation for Gears of War, R6 Vegas, Call of Duty 3 and the autumn update coming soon.

You can listen to Major Nelson's shows, at the end there's a competition. Right now it's the "Guess what game this sound is from" game. Just send him a mail with what you think.

Sometimes he just gives out several codes though, once he gave out 3 or 4 codes for 2100 points or something.
