I bought my 360 on April 29th at Circuit City (w/o extended warranty), the manufacturing date is Jan 13 (samsung drive). Ive really only played 3 games madden 06 for about 10-12 hours the first week i had the system, nba 2k6 (about 20-30 hours total including online, and finally fifa world cup 2006, for about a total of 60-70 hours, most of it in the last 3 weeks, not to mention several demos, arcade games.
Well, on several ocassions (at least 2 no more than 4) my 360 has had the one red light (of doom?) however by retsrating the system it works fine afterwards.
Another issue is that maybe 1/40 times I start the console, the green light turn on but nothing happens, when i restart the console the 360 logo shows up and its back to business. Also when playing Fifa WC, i get dirty disk messages (usually near the end of games) and this has happened 6 or 7 times (prolly a problem with the game rather than 360)
Anyways my point here is what should I do? My warranty expires in the next two weeks, and NCAA FB 07 is coming out and I would be devestated if my 360 fell apart taking away from game time.
Should I go to Circuit City and return the 360, or is it too risky that I might get even a worse system? Do I have a good shot of getting a more current manufactured system (they seems to have way less problems)
And if anyone knows, can I still buy the extended warranty FROM Circuit City and how much does it cost?
Thanks for reading/responding!
