Unfortunately, it's not the power brick. Over the weekend, me and my friend bought the 360 Slim. While on the phone with the Microsoft Rep I drove (10 minutes away) to my friends house. Hooked my power brick up to his 360 and it turned on.
Then we hooked his power brick up to my 360 and his brick red lighted as well. Leaving us, and the rep to the conclusion the problem lies in the 360. Which is why they've submitted a repair order for it.
On a lighter note Microsoft put in a order for repair and asked me to see if Gamestop couldn't simply swap it out. So I called my Gamestop this morning and they found a store with 1 in stock and are holding it for me. So I will cancel my repair order with Microsoft and pick up the new box tonight.
I HOPE and PRAY that I do not experience this again.

This is what happened to my Valhalla 360 last night. Red Dot indeed, only on the power brick. Keep in mind I do not normally keep it where it is in the video I had it there for optimal lighting because the normal area the Droid camera couldn't see enough light.
@jasonbarone Exactly, if OnLive streaming service is successful it'll mean their algorithm which converts video and button responses on the fly in milliseconds is successful.
Which then will only lead to greater success in video teleconferencing, video streaming and who knows what else out there.
I'm one for owning, but you know what I pre-registered for the simple fact I want to see this succeed.
@einhanderkiller There's no SD at all you need a strict 5mb connection for this to work. As they scanned your pc and tested your internet connection before registering. They also tell you if your connection is to slow and that they will let you register with a slower connection but warn you about it.
My first Prince of Persia game I played was back on the commadore 64. I remember it being one of the most frustrating games having to use the keyboard to move around.
