Well...I was always skeptical of the whole "the ring ring is happening too much".  It was because I WAS running a launch console.  Notice the word (in red), "was".  That was because today during the Call of Duty 4 beta...my 360 took the plunge.  It gave these weird vertical beige/green lines.  I shut it off (as nothing would appear on the screen).  As I powered it on, I got a weird felling.  It didnt start the way it did.  Then green rings (during the loading screen/video) weren't showing up.  Then it happened:

Well, I can tell you http://service.xbox.com went well.  I have already ordered the repair (as I still fall under the "3yr - 3 red ring" warranty).  Hopefully they can work fast, so I can be ready for Halo 3 launch day.
