A new member of the Red Ring of Death club!

As you can see the "Bat Cave" is coming along nicley but apart from the mess, whats the problem with this picture?
Lots of blue lights except for the flashing red ones around the 360 power button thats what!
Just recieved a new update on the 360 last night and when it restarted got that lovley ring of red lights that signals no XBox gaming for a while!

Oh well, good job Bio Shock's almost out, guess I 'll be getting it on the PC then!

Ben thats not ring of death. All 4 lights red means that the AV cable isn't connected properly...

Ring of death (complete death) is 3 red lights which means controller 1 light is not lit up.

Try disconnecting/reconnecting the AV connection in the back on the console. Hopefully it will be ok! :)

Yup, was just about to post an update. Retried it last night with my VGA cable and as if by magic, back to normal! Doh!
Was hoping to get it replaced with one with a quieter drive. Oh well, just as well, got "The Darkness" yesterday and it's awesome! Highly recommended.

You sure about The Darkness? i played the demo and thought it was rubbish! nice idea but got dull very quickly

Yeah definitely. It's very short, nearly completed the game already but it has a very strong story line and some great acting.

The game reminds me allot of Max Pain 2 but with demonic serpants instead of bullet time. ;-)
