I got the red ring of death fixed it but the next day I couldnt. We sent it to microsoft and they say we will get it back 2-3 weeks but there is a microsoft center in texas and thats I live. Is it possable it will come back sooner because of that?

No idea, it depends where it is shipped to to be reconditioned and fixed. It is possible to get it back sooner, i remember mine only took about 5 or 6 days. Hopefully it get to you soon. I think they say 2-3 weeks as a cushion of time, in case of a over load of red ringed Xboxes

Yeah, two to three weeks is usually the maximum. Mine red ringed and I got it back in about a week and a half. You'll probably get it sooner.

Actually the red ring of death is nothing but saying your system uh... "needs a break" The red ring of death has happend to me before but all i had to do was unplug the power plug-in blow in it, and the place where you plug it into, BOOM no more red ring of death and i saved 100s of dollers

i didnt think that xbox's got the red ring of death anymore i got mine 2 years ago and had no problems since. If theve said that they will send it you back in 2-3weeks thats what they will probably do. hopefully it gets back sooner for you though =p
