    72 days...

    72 days and my 360 has finally died. I was hoping I was one of the lucky ones since I have had my console since launch. Oh well, back to microsoft it goes. Hopefully they will get the replacement here soon. Funny thing was, the customer service guy said he has a broken 360 too and that he hasn't mailed it back yet. He told me not to include the hard drive because microsoft will probably give me a new one for free.

    Sorry about your bad luck. Same thing happened to me.
    How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

        Sorry to hear that. At least you'll be getting a free hardrive. Which is an awesome deal. Just wondering when was yours made? Mine was made 12-05-05 so im hoping that it doesn't die on me.

          From what it seems most of the ones with problems are the ones within the first couple weeks of October.

            I'm in that number too. Mine was early October. They are shipping me a box for me to overnight my 360 in. Hopefully it won't take too long to get things going again.

              I was playing Tiger Woods and the system froze when I was swinging. It was the first time the system ever had a problem so I didnt really think of it. I turned it off for the night and today I tried to play Tiger again and it froze. So I switched games and put Condemed in and it froze again. After restarting the system it froze on the xbox logo screen, then after another restart nothing came on the screen and I got the 3 red lights. Now it will turn on if i let it sit for awhile but will freeze after a minute or two. Oh, the system date is 2005-10-16.

                Seriously though I'm sorry to hear about your 360. I hope that you get a new one back soon. Good luck with the 360.

                  Sounds like a question you'd ask about a living thing that died, not a machine.

                    Yeah, that is kinda funny.

                    Anyhow, I can see why people treat it as such. They did spend a decent amount of money for the system, and to have it die so soon is ridiculous. That is why I am not a fan of MS in the next-gen age, but I very much was last gen. They rushed it. Nothing about the 360 impressed me, nothing.

                    Sorry, I don't mean to change the topic. As you were.

                        Every 360 thread? No, actually just the PS3 threads. Seems to me you sound like a broken record in every PS3 thread.

                              Oh well, at least you can get it fixed for free. You act like sony has never had problems with the consoles messing up.

                              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
