xbox 360 launch console, are you worried?

[stellastarr]

The xbox 360 console, lots of people here are getting them at launch. Are you worried the first batch coming out will be defective? Much like the drives on the original xbox that produced DDE(dirty disc errors). I know you all are hyped for the machine, but do you think that we will get a good version that will last till the next xbox console comes out? I am guaranteed a launch console and I hope not to get a defective console. It is too much money to just throw away.

So it's simple, are you worried about any defects for the launch console?

My launch days are over! This go around I will wait until the system is out for a bit. Especially if they are going to change the drive.

Why would I be worried?

If you feel that way, just buy an extended warrenty. If a system is going to have major problems, you'll see them within the first year or two.

I believe I can only but a (1) year warranty at EB

Dirty disc errors are inevitable with optical drives in consoles because of all the hours logged playing optical media.

What manufacturers need to do is bundle specially made cleaning kits for them.

I'm not worried at all, I'll just have them give me a new one.

All first-gen products will have defects. Video game consoles, Cars, TV's, ect.

But knowing the Xbox 360 won't have Thomson as it's drive, and Cimtek ironing out the bugs, the number of defective units should be alot less than the Xbox had.

That sucks if true. I'm hoping the EB I pre-ordered at will allow me a 2 year warrenty. If not, Future Shop here I come.

You automatically get a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer when you buy the thing. Most of the time, any problems will rear their head within that timeframe. If you are that worried, just buy an extended warranty, like someone else said.

If you can only buy a 1 year extended warranty, like someone said above about eb games, you would be an absolute fool to do it, since it starts when you purchase the system and runs concurrently with the 1 year manufacturer's warranty.

Nope. Never had a problem with my Xbox and I got it the Xmas of the year it came out.

Heh...if it's defective....get a new one...and if it happens after your warranty is up, get your most annoying female friend and have her call/e-mail them every day until they give you a refund/new XBOX 360.

How about the games? I'm not sure how all this works, but I do know that the game developers just got the beta kits for xbox360 (80% power of xbox360). How good can the games be with such little time to work with and only working with a beta??
