What does it mean if i get 3 red lights flashing on my xbox 360?

I never unplug my 360 if i dont use it. But this time someone unpluged it. I got it on march 2008. When i pluged it back on, i pushed the xbox button on the console and the 3 red lights flashed. only the top right wasnt on. but when i pushed it back the power button on the console,the 360 turned back on and it went to the dashboard.i can play games. what does this mean? should i send it back for repair?
 
that was the general hardware failure message also known as the red ring of death. it seems that it wasn't permanent for you at the moment but if it continues to happen you will need to call Microsoft about repair.
 
OMg my xbox 360 just got the red ring of death like 10 minutes ago. But it means there is a hardware problem with it... Go to xbox.com and look for something there about registering your xbox and they would fix your xbox for free since it's not your fault. It's theirs
 
This usually signals a hardware failure, and if it persists, it means your console would need to be sent to Microsoft for repair. However, the three red lights will sometimes show if something unexpected happens to the console, such as being unplugged suddenly while a game is playing. A similar thing happened to me once, not long after I got my Xbox 360 (about 6 months ago), but since then it has been perfectly fine. So don't worry, it's cool. :)
