Angry My Xbox is dead...

So now all the sudden my 360 is displaying everything with a yellowish tint and sometimes doesn't display anything at all. I've tried different tv's and inputs with no avail... It's looking like its time to hand it over to Microsoft, anyone had experience with returning merchandise to them or their customer service?

Yeah, I returned mine and got a new one. It wasn't that bad. Call and request a box. Follow the instructions, drop it off at a UPS, and a new one will show up in a couple weeks.

Red Ring for me. All 8 - 10 million first generation Xbox 360's will eventually fail. The customer services is okay, but the turnaround time is weeks.

No, you keep the hard drive. I suggest not calling them on a Monday or Friday. Budget at least a half hour too.

If it's a consistent color problem and you're using the RGB/ component cable it could be the cables. Try switching them before you ship it off. Any RCA cables will work despite what you may hear, it's all copper wiring.
