My 360 has developed a nasty habit of just freezing during gameplay recently. At first it was only happening in Viva Pinata, so I thought maybe it was a game glitch. And it wasn't too much of an issue because VP auto-saves about every two minutes anyway.
But I got Project 8 yesterday and it happens in that too, which is pretty annoying because it DOESN'T autosave (apart from when you unlock new areas), I've lost about an hour's play to crashes in the last 24hrs.
The question(s) to those of you who've had hardware problems:
1) Is this probably related to overheating? From my limited experience of browsing xbox support forums, the answer is probably yes?
2) Would repeated in-game freezes be enough for Microsoft to replace my console, or would I need to get 3 red lights before they'd even talk to me?
3) Would it matter that this is my second console - my launch console was replaced in April after getting 3 red lights. They'd still replace this one if it was faulty, right? (Curry I'm looking at you, are you on 360 #5 now?!)
