360 Died :(

A power strip will protect the equipment from a power surge, possibly damaging the equipment.

No it won't. A surge protector will, though. And some surge protectors come in the form of a power strip.

Yes it does

I thought you were gonna say the opposite. I've heard people say that using a power strip with the 360 was a bad idea........not sure why.

It was in a surge protection, same one as my pc and TV...they are both fine.

The Powerbrick is also a surge protector so plugging into another one would overload it.

I got the 3 red rings 15 mins after owning my 360 because it was plugged into a protector.

but from the sound of the poster is sounds like a drive issue but just to see if it helps plug it into a wall rather than a power strip and see what happens the 360 Manual does advise you to plug it into the wall.
