Haha, yeh the console bust at 3pm, had a new one in and running by 5pm!

Had a few races with Kreee on PGR3, then my mom has stolen the console again, and I am now playing Bjeweled or so my Live profile tells me. :(

The 1st console was about 4x as noisey as this one, and it had slowdown and disk read errors, this one does not have any and is whisper quiet comapred to the old!

Has not put me off the console really at all, cracking piece of hardware for the money, very very fun!
 
Yeah, mines like a rocket ship compared to my friends (he had his replaced). Mines not coughed up any disc read errors or any 3-red lights, his was replaced due to the disc read (region error) problems, got his new one and it's still doing it (just less) and he has a different drive now.

I am jealous of how quiet his is in comparison.
 
it's threads like this that make me seriously doubtful about getting a 360 :(

i've never had to return any console and i have them all ! (ps2, xbox, cube etc)

maybe a hardware revision will make a difference, but until then i think i'll hold out buying one (not that i can afford one right now lol)

Fair enough :) I didn't really like the fact that i forked out so much money on a console and it crashed all the time. But now it's fine, not crashed for weeks :D (although thats maybe because i haven't been playing PGR3, it was always PGR3 that crashed it.)

Hmm so it only works if you don't play certain games... lovely ;)

Get one from Game online, it went wrong I took just the console back into the store, had a new one within 15 minutes. :)

Remember you always hear about the ones that go wrong, this second one is miles better, and I now know my old one was duff from the start.

Just get one, they are a absolute blast, coming from a PC fanboy this is!

Games are fun, and fresh to me being out of the console scene for so long. It is worth it for PGR3 alone in my eyes, the fact there are OTHER games than that, wow! :D

I have had one go wrong, but I am not phased in the slightest. :)

I know, that's what puts me off getting one.

I know it's a lovely machine, some top titles, but excusing crashes/freezes/3rd or 4th time taking the console back is too far. I thought console gaming was supposed to be nice, quick and painless compared to PCs?

(Someone mentioned earlier about reliability of 1st gen consoles such as the Xbox, PS2 and GC. My GC is still going strong, absolutely no issues ever. Downstairs PS2 is a bit flakey on a few games - disc errors mainly. Don't have an Xbox to comment on.)

Edit: the only time a console has ever froze on me is the SNES - I knocked the console off the shelf. Work fine after though :D
 
LOL oh dear, ive had mine since dec last year and touch wood it hasnt blown up nor crashed on me...well once it did but that was my purely my fault...booted into a game then by accident i pressed the eject button and caused the console to crash. But re-booted and all was fine...

People say that their PS2's, GC's and what have you are all fine as they are the first gen consoles, well of course they will be ok...the tech in the 360 is a lot more higher and advanced than your run of the mill ps2/gc etc etc. But i know quite a few people who had dodgy ps2's and gc's...sometimes you just get faulty units.

Although the OP is on his fourth, which i really cannot get my head around...4 xbox's he's had and they have all failed at some point...damn fella your cursed i think:p..
 
My second is miles better than the first, and I got a new one within 2 hours of it going wrong.

That is fine by my books.
 
still on my launch day unit, never had ANY problems apart from it locking up in oblivion once. touch wood ofcourse
