I've had enough. My 4th has died.

[tonyh21]

I've had this piece of junk for only a month and it died on me this morning with freezes and weird video issues. I'm going back to bestbuy today to get ANOTHER replacement.....It's about time Microsoft really recognizes how severe this problem is for a lot of us unlucky owners. Video issue shown below.

Wait what exactly is the problem? does it just lock up and thats it? I'd be pretty mad

[serox]

Hey at least you get some output instead of those stupid circle of death lights.

[CPressland]

I think he's refering to the 360.

[Astra.Xtreme]

uh, way to try and show off all your ****.... :no:

Yea, it locks up seconds after I turn it on and then the video gets all scrambled.

[Inplode]

damn that blows ..... mins starting to make loud noises when i turn it on :(

[LunarFalcon]

mine's been repaired twice, and it still sounds like a chainsaw when you start it up :blink:

[Lasker]

Wow, I never thought that the quality of the 360 was so bad :blink:

My 360's still going strong. My first 360. :p

[Groovedude]

just unlucky i guess... :( its a shame really there are many people out there with no problems.

[what]

Wow, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. The only two problems I have with my 360 are

1. the drive doesn't open by itself if there's no disc in there (a problem I've had since the beginning but have lived with because I always leave a disc in there anyway) and

2. the ring of light sometimes messes up - the light for 2nd player sometimes lights up instead of the light for 1st player, and then it switches between the two. I think the problem is with whatever detects which way the xbox is standing but I'm not going to make a fuss over a light.

I'm on my 3rd. First one stopped reading disks. 2nd one gave me red lights randomly. This one seems to be going strong though. It's a newer one and something about it just feels more solid than the previous two. I've also got an Intercooler 360 EX on this one and it really does keep it much cooler.

It's designed that way to let you know it's working. ;)

[InternalStorm]

Still on my first.. sorry to hear some are having such difficulties!

[The Laughing Man]

Sorry to hear, bought one in Feb to play GOW, beat it a while ago and I rarely use mine maybe once a week if that. Probably going to sell it soon but kinda waiting for Halo3.

[Pc_Madness]

I'm on my first, but I don't know how. I get random lockups + I had it overheat on a warm day + disc reading problems.

P.s. Nice setup. Do you need a mouse pad for that kind of desk?

[LightIdea]

I haven't had any worries with mine, and I live in remote QLD, so its damn hot, but mine still going strong on the first one :D

[rmorris003]

I must be lucky im still on my first console from first day of sale

[Green_Eye]

ohh that well thats just a secret subliminal message from Microsoft and Epic.... yeah it was put in there to get you ready for Gears of War and to remind you to play the game more often. Shouldn't stress over it because well ya know Micro$oft ownz jooo :p j/k

Sorry to hear about all your problems and i do hope you all get the necessary help im still on my first and it has not shown any signs that its going down and i do play it quiet a bit :D

[Veedems Veteran]

Yep, now on my 3rd in only 4 months of being a 360 owner. I feel your pain and anger, man.

[HellboundIRL]

I gave up after my second, biggest piece of sh!t I've ever owned, its not worth it.

[LightIdea]

^^^ Good for you.
