You know, you ought to quit bitching. I have had one Xbox 360 from launch and the thing works fine. Of course, I don't play it all that much BECAUSE I HAVE A LIFE APART FROM VIDEOGAMES. Sitting in front of a stupid television pressing buttons on a controller is a sad waste of time if you do it too much. Try something else, like getting your ass in shape.

I was wondering the same thing yesterday. I mean, these aren't NESes, they're really more like mini-computers than traditional consoles. Always use a surge protector (and a good one, not a $4.99 one from Walgreens), always put it on a flat/hard surface, don't box it in tightly - give it room to breathe, and would it kill you to bring it some flowers or candy once in a while? Thoughtless bastards.

*caugh*6*caugh*
I got a refurb unit this week but really haven't had a chance to play it.
Earlier this week I had some renovations being done to my house so I moved my HDTV and my setup to my basement which is a cool 20C no matter what time of the year it is. I played Oblivion for an hour or so everything played perfect (everytime I would press the guide button it didn't stutter while it was coming out which is a new experience for me
). Then my girlfriend decided to watch a couple episode of LOST season 1. And now I'm getting that stupid Message reaver18 is getting but only after about 10-15minutes into DVD's. If the console is "overheating" with an ambient temp of 20C then something is seriously ****ed. Games seem to be working fine though. No problems besides that one yet, I'm going to call in and bitch Until I get a PERFECT console, this is un-****ing-believable!Here's a picture I took right now!

I got the exact same images but for game DVDs which is why I sent my second 360 back. Can't believe how many idiots are blaming the users in this thread, we just want a 360 in full working condition and we will keep getting our 360s "fixed" till we do.

Exactly, all I want is a 100% fully functional console. I might break the record, if everything goes as planned I'll be on my 7th console by the end of next week. Does it look like my console is on a carpet or a dirty floor? NO. It's actually on top of a "Mini" wine cooler we use to chill wine when we have guests, it helps cool the PSU and the X360 console while keeping my beers refreshingly good.

Or is it? Truthfully though that does suck for the guy and does say quite a bit about MS quality control.... or lack there of.BuddyC said:

It's amazing how microsoft provides the most defective number of X360 to the country where they have the shortest guaranty time. I've seen no X360 broken in Europe. Microsoft must know that an american in a few months has to deal with the broken thing while the europen can change it for free for longer time than xbox 1 lifetime :lol :lol :lol
VPhys said:
in the European Union it varries from 1year up to 3 years on some products, I think countries like Sweden get 2years on their products.
I just remember this a lot of credit card owners can get an extended warrenty on their X360's by buying their console using the card. My girlfriend got a warrenty on her new PSP for 2 years for using her Visa.

Candidates for Microsoft viral marketing in this thread are....
And that doesn't count your standard run-of-the-mill fanboy damage control.

Nope, as of 2003, every store/hardware producer of electronic equipment is obliged to give you 2 years of warranty against any kind of failure. This includes almost anything except things like broken glass (on mobiles/tv's etc) and other things that might be caused by dropping or abuse. In most cases, stores have a deal with hardware producers to have free shipping on repairs.EGM92 said:

Speaking 360 and Japan, I remember an article from 4cr a while ago
Scroll to the near bottom to see what I mean...
I'm UK based, I've had two systems fail now, looked like bad graphics memory/overheating GPU. I haven't risked getting a third, went for a refund instead. Can't be bothered with the downtime between replacement units.Vaandaviii said:
Trying to sit on my hands until the 2007 process shrink. :/
I'm on my third. First one's flash rom was FUBARed and wouldn't save dashboard updates. The refurb MS sent was scratched all to shit and got killed by Burnout Revenge. Third one is working peachy.
They all sat in the theater room in the basement, which is always colder than the rest of the house and completely light blocked. Each one sits/sat flat on a wire shelf in a minimalist equipment rack. The PC I'm making this post on is a Pentium D 920 overclocked to 4.2 and watercooled. I know how to take care of equipment.

I'm about to get my 2nd one soon. I was told by Customer Support that it would be a new machine too and not just mine repaired. FYI the warranty is 6 months so if you go over they will charge you for it.
Warm Machine said:
A "new machine" doesn't alway mean new machine. You might get a refurb that was someone elses. My current unit is a refurb and it smells REALLY bad like some potent curry, the rear sticker where the S/N and other info is has a red stain on it which also smells bad

Sorry, but considering it's your 6th 360 and all, that's just too funny. You'd think 6th time around they'd send you a new one, but apparently not.

They must know what the problem is by now and they just are not saying what it is and they probably have yet to do a proper work around.

I must be lucky since I got my 360 on Feburary it's been fine, once in awhile I would play Graw and it'll freeze up but thats it.

I can't wait to be "on my" 8th PS3.
That's going to stink.
Anyway, mine has been fine since launch. But pretty much half of the people I know that own one have had problems. Mostly hard drive problems though.

Got my 360 back a couple days ago. works great so far except I noticed the serial number sticker on the back is faded off and it was manufactured before launch. :|
If it breaks again (jesus christ it better not), I'm asking for a new one from MS. The only good thing that's come from this is that the 2 year warranty I got from MS in November is being renewed everytime I get a new 360.

interesting , i saw this twice yesterday - it seemed weird, like the dash tried to run it as a DVD. Switched the unit off and reloaded and it was no problem.
I'm wondering if the last update did something a bit funky - theoretically, this is the message that pops up for "You are using this in a regular DVD dummy!" message :/

I'd imagine the reason Microsoft isnists there's such a low number of bad consoles, is that they aren't actually replacing the broken ones with good ones. They're replacing them with refurbed lemons that just crap out again and again, so their defect numbers aren't rising regardless of how many replacements you've had to get.
