3 red lights on 360

Hi

Just got my first 3 red lights of doom on my 360

Basically I was wondering whether it would be worth taking it back to Tescos as I dont fancy waiting 3 weeks from MS just to get a filthy refurb sent back to me.

I bought the machine late June 1st and still have the reciept/box etc

Any advice?

Does it not work then? If not, Tescos is the right place to go.

Yep Tescos should replace it providing you've had it under a year which you have.

No it doesnt work, black screen, flashing 3 red lights. Dead.

Id like to take it back to Tesco to save me the 3 week waiting time from MS and to stop the possibility of getting a dodgy refurbished model back BUT Im sure they will just tell me that the 30 days are up as they always quote 30 days return policy dont they?

Have a read of the FAQ I wrote stickied at the top of this forum. You're covered for way more than 30 days.
