X box is great there service department blows. I have had my box about a year. at a little under a year it broke (nov 8 to be exact) i have been fighting with xbox support for a month to get my label and they never sent it i called 4 times in week intervuls. finally after 4 weeks of calling they said i had to send them 100 dollars as my warrenty had expired and they had no record of me calling even though i had 4 different service numbers!!!! they screwed me around for a month and then told me my warrenty just expired? Afrter two hours of arguing with them they agreed to fix it for free. And now its been almost two months since i played. I forget how to use the thing. Screw x box when i get it back im trading it in twords a system that works and have service reps that might speak ENGLISH!!!!

the BIGGEST problem with the 360’s breaking are the games they make the actual GPU (graphics card) cant handle them properly so it actually overclocks it’s self which causes heat with give u the rings of death, halo 3 uses alot of shaders and particles, and that game alone causes ALOT of fuckups for the 360, some people think it’s not true but it is, my buddy only plays san andreas and saints row, not the greatest for graphics, and he’s had his since launch, smoking around it has lots to do with it to in my opinion my buddy boxes his room daily and plays games like bioshock and halo 3 and has gone threw like 8 or 9 now, and he takes reallll good care of his shit, the guy who only plays saints row dosent

I really thought I was the only one…I just replaced my 4th xbox 360 and in 3 days (right after I bought Halo 3) my 5th one crapped out on me and gave me the 3 red lights. Now I’m waiting for Xbox 360 number 6 to come along and die as well. I was “lucky” though, walmart exchanged my first 3 360’s because they all broke in the first 90 day of purchase. Yay walmart.

I keep my power brick on a different shelf, mostly because the damn thing is an eyesore. But my Core 360 (my bro got it for me and all the premium stuff for the same price as the premium) is still working as good as it did when I unpacked it, woo hoo.

I think that’s why Microsoft is getting rid of the Cores, because they don’t break as often, it’s cutting into their repair cashcow.

Yea Taz, it kind of freezes for a minute, and then you have to either wait, or just restart the system. Very annoying indeed.

@TimB26 – I would suggest you take that cooling unit off of the back of your 360 immediately. Some of them have a problem where they draw too much power from the 360 at startup, since it connects directly to the 360’s power port. This ends up shorting out the 360, or causing problems over time that Microsoft does not cover because it was caused by a 3rd party hardware.

A much better solution is to get a USB cooler for the 360. Using this, it can not draw too much power, since it uses USB. The USB coolers are a much better solution to keeping your 360 cool.

yeha my system has been acting up lately, freezing when i try to read messages or listen to voice emssages. i thought maybe it was halo related since a million people were on at hte same time, I also had some halo 3 mathcmaking issues, where it wouldnt let me find a game. i hope my system doesnt take a dirt nap, getting another one is annoying.

If I was getting the RRoD, that would be something to think about. But there is definitely more than enough ventilation going to all of my consoles. I think it’s just poor Quality Assurance on the part of Microsoft. I really thought they would have these issues ironed out by now.
