As a 2-time Xbox 360 owner, the only consolation I can give you is that 3RL isn't as hopeless a case as it once was. If your unit suffers 3RL, you don't have to throw it away anymore. The causes for 3RL have been distinguished (save for a couple of isolated incidents as determined by the error code) and reliable repair services have sprouted all over the metropolis.However, don't bring your 3RL-inflicted unit to Green Hills. Technicians there don't know what they're doing. They still rely of obsolete techniques from 2007, which are quick fixes at best.Instead, try the repair services in the threads provided below. Read the success stories mentioned in their pages.http://www.pinoyxbox.com/phpnuke/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=15280&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&PHPSESSID=9f3b12cca7c892db97fb2d95555aeb0a(This guy repaired my Falcon unit. So far so good. Unit was left on overnight by accident. Still works like a charm.)http://www.pinoyxbox.com/phpnuke/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=10883(This guy repaired my first unit. But after 3 months or so, it suffered from 3RL again. ABout to bring it back to him, but read about people who were waiting for months for their units.)http://www.pinoyxbox.com/phpnuke/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=15516(Fantastic service! Guy knows his stuff. He repaired my first unit for the second time. Up to now, it's still working. Unfortunately, the guy seems to have become inactive in the 360 repair scene.)
