This is why I will never ever buy a XBox or 360.

How many of you bought an original PlayStation that needed to be replaced? My guess is that the number will be considerably smaller. I've not heard any reports of a dead Wii, Gamecube, N64, or SNES. I have heard of the occasional dead PS2, but mostly because Sony encouraged running it sideways which caused problems for most people.

Why do the customer put up with this? It died, so I'll just buy a new one? What kind of product is that? The system is not supposed to die. That's just wrong! As of right now, more than 1/3 of the people who have responded to this poll have had to replace at least one system. Those are pretty horrible odds if you ask me.

What # 360 are you on? 6th. Yep, my sixth.

How did it die? Various problems: Hard drive dead; disc drive dying/ tray won't open or close/ disc read errors; console freezing/ graphical corruption; and RROD.

To those who think we keep buying replacements, remember that not everyone does that. I began with my original purchase and exchanged the defective one at my retailer for a new one right away. I just had to do it 4 times. :laugh: The most recent one was out of the retailer's return period so I had to send it to Microsoft to be replaced. It was my 5th console so I am now on my 6th.

im on my first 360 (premium) and it's basically fine for the most part. (but from all the complaints, overall the 360 is easily one of the worst consoles ever built in terms of longevity, as i would bet my xbox1 will last ALOT longer from what i can tell)

when it works it works 100percent so far (rare lockups, pretty much none for the most part) only glitch i have with it is sometimes ill power it on and nothing comes up on screen but all i do is power it off, wait a couple seconds and power it back on and it's perfectly fine after that.

sometimes i get a error code but im pretty sure it's related to that graphics glitch thing i was saying but i just power on and off and all is fine basically.

p.s. i do run a Nyko Intercooler "EX" (yes i know about the older ones killing peoples systems, but this one is fine the EX version (boxed one) ) on my 360 and i had it for about 5-6months now and no problems at all... it's a little noisy but it's worth it cause the cooling of the system is MUCH better vs stock cooling.... and the proof?, u can touch the sides of the 360 and feel a fairly big noticeable difference in the cooling of it. cause the heat is much less by the touch.

I'm on my second.

Went to circuit city, brought home a brand new shiny Xbox 360 Premium. I was soooo careful plugging it in, and even took a few moments just to look at it and read all the manuals. I turned it on and... RROD - Hard Drive Failure

Packed it back up, went back to Circuit City the next day, got a new one, and got it home. I then saw the front face plate had a crack in it, but I decided to try it anyways since Circuit City is a good 25 minutes a way. It worked fine, and since it was just a cosmetic flaw, I didn't care. Its worked great ever since, so :)

And yes, I did buy it a new silver faceplate.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
