Microsoft has not fixed the Red Ring of Death globally. You have to get your 360 fixed individually. If, after you get it fixed, keeps becoming red, then I suggest getting a new Xbox 360, or buy a better game system such as the Wii.
The beginning of this year or near the end of last year.(2010/2011)
in the begining of the year or near the end of last year
its a 3 year warranty so you can still send to Microsoft
If you have had it less than 3 years, its free from Microsoft, and many times they will do it for free after the 3 year period. Call 1800 4MYXBOX for instructions.
it means your xbox 360 has died due to hardware failure the only thing you can do is ring Microsoft and tell them about this problem and they should be able to fix it for free as they just gave out a 3 year warranty to customers with the red light formally known as the ring of death i hope this solves your problems cheers
A common cause of the "Red Ring Of Death" is the failure of the Nyko Intercooler inside the console. It has also been suggested that hardware failures can be caused by the fracturing of the solder used inside the console due to excessive heat and the wrong type of solder being used during construction. The top three causes are: 1) Overheating, 2) Problems in GPU, 3) Problems in powerbrick. For more information see the attached link.
In the fiscal year ending in July, Microsoft made $426 million on $8.1 billion in revenue on the XBox 360.
It depends on wether or not it is still in warranty. If it's still in its 3 year RRoD warranty period, Microsoft will usually repair it for free, or send you a refurbished console. If its warranty period has expired, or if the warranty sticker has been removed or damaged, you will need to pay for a repair or refurbished console.
It is sometimes caused by a lack in the power supply or recent power surge. Sometimes simply turning off the console and removing all cables and then reconnecting everything and powering on can repair the problem. Also, Microsoft does provide a 3 year warranty from the time of purchase on the console, so if you have your receipt you may be able to seek a remedy from Microsoft.

No, Xbox Live is Microsoft's content and community service. You do not need Xbox Live in order to play any Xbox game.
Because Activision signed a 3 year deal with Microsoft that Map Packs will come out for Xbox 360 first.
