Consistent, quick freezing on several 360 games.

This has happened to a few games now, and I'm not sure how to cure it. Recently, whenever I have tried to play Halo 2 or the Madden 2008 demo, the console will lock up in seconds, and I have no idea why.
THis doesn't happen with other games.
What's going on?
Note: I've cleared the hard-drive cache many times, no workie.

So, what are my options? Get it fixed and miss precious Halo 3, or get a new one?
That's the only thing you can do -- be happy you've got a long warranty.
Mine freezes up on occasion, but haven't had any red ring problems since my purchase over a year ago. (Now, I probably just jinxed myself. Better finish Bioshock quick.)
If you do end up having to send it in to Microsoft, you could always buy a new one after you send it (if you must play Halo 3 on the 25th), then sell the repaired one when you get it back.
If you can, exchange it for a full or half refund and get a new 360, but if anything, the fixed 360s through Microsoft has a better longevity. Mine stopped hanging completely after I got mine exchanged for a refurbished one through Microsoft, but I was lucky, I got mine exchanged in a day, had to go down the headquarters and do a physical exchange (a policy down here in Singapore).
Fucking son of a bitch.
