It's worth every penny. It's been on my launch system and my 360 has been perfect since the day I got it.

Same here. Launch system and still going strong!!!

I own a standard TV with s-video and would like to know if I should get Monster s-video or Microsoft s-video?

Re: Any recent X-BOX 360 buyers experiencing dying systems?

I am planning on buying a 360 in the near future and would like to know if people buying the system recently have had any major problems with it dying like the launch systems had? I would hope the problems are diminishing as I am afraid of it crapping out on me. Thank You.

this is probably late, but just keep the thing well ventilated and buy an intercooler for added insurance. some people around the world u gotta remember are just ignorant and careless with their systems. thats all

Had mine since early May and not one problem aside from Oblivion freezing once.

I try not to play it for hours and hours on end but other then that I just be sure to keep it in a cooler area and not knock it over.

i have one that is probably two months after launch. The only problems i've had was nba 2k6 freezing sometimes, but i think its the game more than the 360 itself. I do have the intercooler so that is a MUST buy for 20 bucks...worth every penny and to think about it i haven't had 2k6 freeze since i've purchased it. The 360 gets about 4 hours a day of playing from different people in the house and different games are always playing.

Re: Any recent X-BOX 360 buyers experiencing dying systems?

NOOOOOOO!!! Mine just got the red lights of death. I have never had a console that peter'd out this fast. I got mine in early May. It wasnt a launch system, but one of the ones that rolled out after the long drought. At first my online games would just get stuck. Id turn it off/on play again for a few minutes then it would do it again, I thought it was the servers. I then put in PD0 to play offline, and it stuck again. Turned it off, when I turned it back on, the red lights of death. OK, what do I do now? Who do I call? I didnt get the extended warranty at Best Buy because Ive heard several horror stories about their customer service. Any help would be appreciated, and Im off for the next 3 days....waaaaa...waaaa...waaaaaaaaaaaa.

Simple fix. Call up Microsoft and buy the extended warranty. Wait a few weeks and then call into their tech support. Any repairs will be covered by the warranty. I just had the same issue myself with my launch console, and it's currently getting fixed. Should be back in a few days.

Re: Any recent X-BOX 360 buyers experiencing dying systems?

Just today, my new 360 keeps telling me to insert a 360 game disc whenever I put in a 360 game? I try a couple of times, then it takes. Anyone else have this?

Yes but it's available only in certain States. It's not offered in Florida so I had to buy an extended warranty from the store. Most items you can return right to a Best Buy Store for an exchange including a 360. I don't know why they had you ship the item.

Re: Any recent X-BOX 360 buyers experiencing dying systems?

If you got your 360 in late May that means it's still under the 90 day limited warranty.

But it seems like you bought a new 360?
