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....

The problem is im just so angry that i got burnt a second time so quicky. I just need a break from all the breaking down.

I'll get another 360 in time. im just not in a hurry right now. it's a burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me, Kind of thing. I just dont want to be burned again right now

i'm still a 360 fan. And i'm not going to start dissing them or anything. it's just im so frustrated right now. i cant even comprehend getting another 360 at the moment.

Holy batman Shadow, thanks for changing my mind about a 360. What a joke.

Congrats man, thats why actually purchased the in store warranty on my xbox. Usually don't but you can't tell on those 360s. Only downside is that now all of your content will only work if you are logged into live. Microsoft needs to fix there stupid DMR stuff.

edit- Never mind sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you. I am on my 3rd 360 so I am not to happy about that, but my current 360 is showing some promise and if things go bad I still have like 8 months on my in store warranty.

Ouch!

There must be some action against Microsoft for this, extended warranties dont offer anything if you must constantly change consoles.

As for a PS3, you'll love it. though try and get PS2 capable machine for the upscaling if you have any PS2 games [surely everyone does?] PSP remote play works great, and the PSN has some very good games to download.

Hopefully there might be a price cut or updated model by the time MGS4 is released.

@dejkirkby
you have two PS3s ?

I, personally, will never own a 360 for this exact reason. Being forced to buy a second and even third console in under a year is just unacceptable. I dont care about the "great games" because your system is likely to stop working anyways...

ICE, all RROD cases are under a three year warranty. You don't have to buy a new one every time.
