tonyh21 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) 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.

what Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 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.

Ji@nBing Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 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.

The Laughing Man Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 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 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 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?
