For those of you that have been affected with the Red Ring of Death on your Xbox 360 be aware that there is a new bug called "E74 error". It is reported that Microsoft is offering to repair all consoles free of charge and extending the 3yr warranty. You know you have the bug when an E74 error message appears on your screen with instructions to contact Xbox 360 support: Microsoft has issued and official message:

Here is Microsoft's official statement:
While the majority of Xbox 360 owners continue to have a great experience with their console, we are aware that a very small percentage of our customers have reported receiving an error that displays "E74" on their screen.
After investigating the issue, we have determined that the E74 error message can indicate the general hardware failure that is associated with three-flashing-red-lights error on the console. As a result, we have decided to cover repairs related to the E74 error message under our three-year warranty program for certain general hardware failures that was announced in July 2007.
