Thanks!!

On another note I ain't gonna support microsoft no more.

Why?

My 360 died on me last night!!!!!! (no caps lock I'm more disappointed or depress right now) I got guitar hero from my wife for christmas and my best friend gave me another guitar so Ive been playing like 4 hours or less since I work I cant play more hours. So last night finished up Welcome to the Jungle and the 360 just freeze up. I turn it off turn it back on and tried to play the disc and BAM!!!! 3 red lights. At least Microsoft service center has got better I didn't had to wait. The time I called them was at 8:00 P.M. my time its 7 on Orlando and they picked up on the first ring, took my information and send the 360. Still with all those positive things the part that dissapoints me is...

How many of you guys has their first nintendo or their first sega, genesis,cd, 32x, saturn or dreamcast. Hell even playstation 1 if I recall correctly that was the first gaming machine that gave troubles. Super Nintendo yellow on the top an all it refuses to die. This new machines just die in a year or so they don't make this things like they used to. Ok I get my 360 repaired or a refurbished one Whats really gonna happen? Eventually its gonna die on me again. So we gamers pay a hunk of money for something that its not gonna last a year in our shelves. BTW my 360 is in a well ventilated area and I always turn the air conditioner on at a temperature of 65 so as you can see heat was not a problem for him it just that its crap and into crap it turned.

Thats a small rant but I think it has logic in one way. I should stick with nintendo since my wii just doesn't gets any rest from my wife and nephews and it has more than a year and still alive and kicking without any problems.
I feel your pain mate. I'm on my third 360 myself and its now giving me DRE's quite frequently.

Like Kyuu has said, the newer 360s should be better but I guess its still to early to say for certain.

As for MS sending out refurbs/repaired 360s, I've also heard many people say that their refurbs die really quickly. Its just a joke how crappy the 360 is built.

I want to give the 360 one more chance before I give up on it. So I'm tempted to pick up a new falcon one from Gamestation who are selling arcade 360s for £150. That should also come with a HDMI port as well.

I guess the 360's legacy will be its red rings and its washing machine levels of loudness.
Wow!!!! 3 360 How can you put up with that?

I'm telling I'm gonna give this one more go if it gets damaged I'm sticking with my wii. The PS3 is supposedly getting the blue ray drive damaged so thats not a good idea also.

3 is nothing. Many are into double digits...

Does anybody know if you were to claim the warrenty on 3 red lights would you get the new motherboard with HDMI or just the bog standard old model?

Its a lottery really. You might get lucky or you might not.

I'd sell or part exchange the repaired 360 for a new falcon one. In fact thats the plan for myself.

Sounds like a plan then. My fiancé's boss has just had his given up the ghost he's gone and bought a falcon arcade. If i trade it in i'll just get an elite. Might as well upgrade rather than getting the same console over again!
