Meh.. My Xbox finaly packed up and got the ring of death!!
It started crashing on the dashboard and the wireless adapter at the back wouldn't properly switch off. I only got it Xmas before last but on their site it says you have a 3-year warrenty in case of red-ring (sounds contagious

). Only thing is it's late sunday and no one's at the office and blah blah blah!!
I blame the bloody game

honestly dude you would be so much better off ordering a red ring repair kit for about £5 of fleabay and doing it yourself.
The kit fixes are so much better and more reliable than what microsoft will do, they will probably replace the original crappy parts for more crappy parts, and if its happened once it will happen again, whereas with a kit repair it will NEVER happen again. You are basically bolting the heatsinks onto the motherboard with proper heavy duty bolts - not scrawny pointless x-clamps like microsoft use,
i done a red-ring repair on my little brothers console at the weekend and it took me an hour and a half - and an hour of that was waiting for the thermal paste to set, but most importantly im 100% confident il never have to open that console again.
If you have even the slightest bit of technical knowledge id be tempted to do it myself, its such a peice of piss

Now back to the topic of the HAWX game - the only difference between that and others out there is that it has the new xbox dashboard installed on the disc (theres only 2 others like it at the moment and they are mlb2009 and trivial pursuit) but bearing in mind thats the only difference i dont think that would have anything to do with it, just bad luck i reacon dude
