    Unbelievable ( 360 )

    Ok.....

    So I was one of the ones that picked up a launch 360 when it was released.

    The system worked flawlessly for about 5 months before I got the red ring of death.

    1 360 dead

    This was before they gave free repairs and it was out of warranty.
    Just by happen chance, I decided to buy a core 360 since it was really only a little over 2x the price to get the system, as opposed to just fixing the one I had. I figured Id get the other fixed sooner or later and have 2 360s JUST IN CASE.

    So now I have 2 360s...

    Fast forward a few months, 360s breaking left and right. MS extends the warranties and will fix my 360 for free....good deal. So I sent of my premium system to be fixed and had the core already to use at home.

    I received another premium system back. It wasnt my old one because the serial number was different. So I plugged it in to make sure it worked, and it did.

    Now I have 2 working 360s

    I left the premium in the box, and only used my core. I moved to Orlando for an internship and decided to bring both 360s in case we had multiple TVs....
    Within 2 weeks of being here, while watching We Were Soldiers....guess what happened....ring of death again....Called MS...repair set up...

    Another 360 dead.

    But no worries, I still have the premium that is in the box. I can play that one while I wait for the repair box to get here. No harm done right... I recieved the box to send my 2nd broken 360 in for repair. I just recieved my box 2 days ago and sent off my core 360 to be repaired, and got the premium out of its box to replace it with.

    Put in Madden tonight....RED FU***** ring of death again !!!!

    2 damn 360s broke on me within 3 days time!

    They are not mistreated, they arent dropped, they arent in a dusty or non ventilated enviroment, they are in pristine condition sitting near the rest all my other game systems....that still work mind you....ranging from a damn Odyesse 2 to a Wii and PS3.

    This is completely unacccpetable. Has there been any information wtf causes this? It cant be duplicated, its completely random, regardless of what anyone else says. Its not user error either, as we dont use the 360 that much anyways...so it cant be from staying on too long. Im calling MS tommorow and demanding a refund, I dont care about ever owning another 360 again.

    I love the games it has, but now Im on my 3rd broken box, and they have now officially lost a customer. Ill be dumping 33 games soon, so Ill post them here and sell for a cheap price to recover my losses.

    I think that they aren't made to be playing for hours and hours. It sucks, but I think that is how it is.

      He didn't play them for hours and hours. He never even used that Premium they sent him until his core broke down.

        I know the feeling. Not as extreme, but my launch 360 died within 3 months then my new 360 died after 1. My 3rd 360 was starting to play up too, so I sold that and got a Wii. Screw the 360.

          This can't be MS fault.

          I have never seen a system like this. So many problems. BTW for those of you who think this is the consumers fault, why oh why did MS extend the warranty? Genrosity? I think not.

            It's an illusion cause 360's don't break you must be doing something wrong at least that's what Dogg told us.

                That sucks.

                If/When mine dies, that's it for me. I'll sell it on Ebay and say bye-bye to all this crap.

                      I will be on my second if ever they send me my coffin,went last night and got a core at walmart will use there 90 return policy till i get mine back from MS,as much as people think there is not a prob with these systems,there is a huge one,I really like this system a lot,but cant be switching them out every 6mos or so,no need for it...PS3 is still young but we dont hear probs as much as we did when the 360 came out with the overheating issue,and 3 rings of death..like I said this system is awesome,other than the "HUGE" hardware issue it has with crashing/and konking out....please MS FIX THIS ISSUE
                      VIOLATION!!!!!!!!

                        Guess I am one of the lucky ones. My launch 360 is played nearly everday and not one problem. Go figure.

                          There have been so many posts about 360 failures lately-- should there be a sticky thread to keep the comments/experiences together?

                            Since the beginning of December, there has been another wave of broken 360's. I would really like to know what in the world is going on with these systems that continue to breakdown. It's like MS is sending a signal through XBX LIVE called the "2K Virus" which breaks random peeps systems.

                              Like Sully, I am on my 3rd 360 as well. There are alot of things about the 360 (ie their new one which may or may not cost more, noise, the occasional lockup,) that are starting to bug me. It's a great concept, and I love XBL, but IDK if it breaks down one more time....Who am I kidding? I get another one!
