Once again I am faced with the 3 flashing red lights on my xbox 360. I refuse to send it out to microsoft again. I want to just purchase one and swap the unit. Which store has a return policy that would allow me to do this? Thanks.

You might want to try removing the HDD from the Xbox 360 while it is off and see if it turns on then. 3 flashing red lights usually means power supply failure or overheating, but there are a few small cases in which removing the HDD fixes it.

I'm pretty sure the hard drive is removable on 360 so the warranty wouldn't be void

hehehhehe

Yep, it's removable.

Do you keep your xbox 360 in a poorly ventilated place?
