My xbox story.

[Shadowblind]

Is no one else disgusted with the need to send your unit away for repair and be without a console for weeks?

Some may know that i went through 4 PSPs to get a screen with less than 20 stuck pixels, but the return service was a next day delivery exchange by courier.
That was a big problem, but the service was so good i could not complain, i simply phoned up gave them my serial number and address and chose a day for exchange with the next day as an option every time i called.

It seems the 360 seriously needs a design overhaul to fix the problems, anyone know if your 3 year warranty gets renewed each console- it should.

Easily the worst part of the 360, and by far the most annoying. I'm just glad that the 90 day plan is now three years, but still....

In fact, my friends Xbox just died today. I'm hearing wayyy too much of this. MS, get your act together; just put rubber on the memory cores. That will fix the most common problem.

The memory cores get microscopic cracks from age, and if they do, the rubber will melt into the cracks, thus repairing it. My brother did it to my old broken box, and now we are both happily playing TF2 on XBL.

Yeah, 360 do suck for there reliabilty but in all fairness. They aint a bad console when there working.

I wouldnt mind picking me up another 360, but with my PS3 i wont be able to afford much games.

this, sound awful. And i didnt want to say it. it makes me sound like a whiny 360 fan boy. or a flat out liar

either way, it seems my xbox story didnt end last night
this morning I go to log on to my shiny new elite. and the damned thing is already red ringed I was so disgusted and angy. I threw it all back into it's box took it to the store and got my money back...

I have yet to decide if I will get another 360. i'm still very upset about my recent luck with them. I may just get a ps3, or better yet buy a whole bunch of wii stuff..

im not dissing the 360. while I had mine and it worked I loved it more then I have ever loved a console. But they are just too delicate.. How can a console like the 360 be aimed at the hard core gamer?

A hard core gamer plays his games as long as he wants untill 'he decides to stop.
The 360 it seems just wasnt designed to do all nighter sessions..
And I'm sorry, But if I spend four hundred and seventy two dollars on a console, it had damned well better play a ******* game as long as I want to play it!


no... no.. we are hard core gamers not baby siters, we should be able to play the hell out of our consoles for as long as we want and not have to worry about the read ring of death..

I refuse. no more 360's for me.


my sig,.. I will keep it as a reminder of my lost love the 360.

4290. it is. And 4290. It shall always be.

Holy crap dude. When I said to hang on to your receipt I was just joking.. Good thing you did. That is absolutely nuts though! How can a system break that much?

i'm not sure bro, but im irate about it

I just cant take having to worry about when the next 360 I own will red ring.

no more for me thanks. I'll stick with the wii or maybe move on to the ps3 in time, i guess

[ICE]

Ive heard some rumors that ps3 may drop to $300 in the near future... If that happens I'll see you on psn :P

[ExcruciationX]

I guess no more Halo 3 matches...

Dont worry bro, I may still yet get another 360 some day, but im not going to be jumping off the deep end with four plus benjamin purchases any time soon on a console that is fated to red ring on me
but nothing is forever, i will be back on live in time

[ExcruciationX]

Oh, okay.

I do have a Wii, but it's not connected to the internet.

Shades, I don't mean anything against you but don't you think you're jumping ship a bit early? My friend has gone through four, I'm on my second, and I heard a guy went through 9. If you loved you 360, isn't it worth it to try another? I know it's very possible that it could happen again, hell it could happen the first time you turn it on, but Microsoft is there to fix it. I sent in my broken one and got it back in 5 days flat, no charges in any way whatsoever.

I just don't want you to miss out some great games that deserved to be played....
