This has not been a good week, first i accidently snap my (uninsured) phone in half, and then this...
I've had my XBOX360 since christmas 2006, it's in perfect condition as i'm very careful with it. I even try not to use it for extensive periods of time (no more than 2 hours without a break) to let it cool down because it gets so hot, based on how many stories i hear about them breaking.
Anyway, today, playing PGR3 on a Toshiba 32" HDTV, the image suddenly cut out. I turned the XBOX360 off, then on, and the same thing happened after 10 minutes of playing. Once again i restarted it and instead of the image completely going black, the screen became a mix of the correct image and fuzzy squares in a formal checkered pattern. I thought it might be the TV, even though it's only a few months old, so moved it onto a 42" Panasonic HDTV but after a couple of minutes play it did the same checkered fuzzy pattern and when i turned it on again nothing displayed and, well, it happened...the green ring of light changed, to my horror, to a red ring of light.
Is my XBOX360 broken?
