          It took me 2+ weeks to get my box from MS (not typical based upon all of the feedback I've seen here), and then I kept getting boxes from them for the next week (for a total of 3 boxes). I held on to the two extras in case I need to send my refurb unit in

                My launch system died couple of months ago. I called 1-800-4myxbox and they gave me a reference # and a date that i would get my box to ship it in. They also gave me a ups serial # so I could track my system. It took about 5-6 days 4 my box to come. Since I had the lights of Death on my xbox They sent me a totaly new system. I love my 360 and I am about to get a Wii that is all I need.

                        360s breaking can not be attributed to anything specific at all.

                        You can theorycraft all you want, but I know people that have knocked their 360s off their ent stands and they still work, I know people that have spilled a drink on their 360 and it still works, and I know people that take flawless care of their machine and they break for no reason.

                        Is there any new updated information on why they are breaking? Im on my 3rd one, and no matter how much I enjoy the games on this system...im done with it.

                        3 360s in just a little over a years time is beyond ridiculous. Ive owned almost every system since the odyesse 2 and still have many of them. Funny thing is that even though they have moved overseas several times, been in 2 tornados, survived floods, survived slumber parties where they were dropped, kicked, stepped on, drinks in them etc....everyone of them still works.

                        My 360 has never been anywhere except in my entertainment center, and 3 have broken now. Unacceptable, I dont care what company made it.

                          IF you've had that many in a year it's time buy either a PS3 or a Wii. Or you can call MS HQ in Redmond and ask to speak to a higher up but you know they won't admit to anything.
