broken 360

I got the red rings of death!!

but I sent it off to Microsoft the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and about how long did it it take for your 360 to get back fixed. bc i am a little impatient.

Oh, I'm pretty sure that it happened to some (if not many) people here... Mine took the usual time to get back, about 2 weeks.

Mine died on 3/8 and got the box and to the repair center on 3/14.... I'll be waiting until then Flak Beard just got his back...and posted about it. Look for his thread.

I really do not understand why people are willing to shell out $300-$400 for hardware that is defective...

Neither do I. When I read about all the headaches people are having, I don't wish to add to that number. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Looks like the VGCats guy is getting his third 360 fixed/replaced.

It's a Microsoft product. What Microsoft product has come out without any flaws or major defects?

Oh guess you didn't hear about those....when you clicked left left right left left left right right right left left while holding the two side buttons down....they blow up. I'm sure there was some problem with it =P

It's all about the games. I am totally willing to put up with it (I'm on my third 360) because I love the games. My 360 has been gone only about a week each time, and it hasn't killed me yet.

I agree it's inexcusable for the hardware to fail so much, but it hasn't cost me any extra money and so what if I can't play Heavy Weapon for a couple of weeks. They need some new people manning the phones, however.
