Means your in the market for a new Xbox if it's out of warranty. Classic RRoD (Red Rings of Death)

well my xbox is kinda old Mmmmmmm

I read its the dashboard that might be faulty ? Is there anyway one can default the settings without gong into the system ? Like a hard default button ? I cannot access the system , once it boots I get the error almost immediately.

It means get a PS3.

I had the same issue with my Xbox, both of them (this was between 2007 and 2009). I then literally threw the last one in the bin and bought a PS3, it gave me 4 years of worry free use until I sold it.

It means get a PS3.

Ps3 also had YLOD , so if you enjoy xbox and have allot of xbox games i suggest , just buying a new slim unit , they don't RROD

Get your console repaired, pay an out of warranty fee and get a refurb unit from PowerCare or buy a new one.

The PS3 also has YLOD issues and the cost factor is high if you are looking at starting a new gaming library.

I'd sell up and wait for the new hardware, personally. Why invest anything more into almost 10 year old tech?

I decided to send it in for repairs and wait for the next gen console. Hope it last's that long. Thanks for the advice guys !!
