Another one bites the dust

i've just dropped mine into UPS as it went 2 days ago, strange thing is when I get it working I can play Oblivion for hours fine but if I try Fifa08 or a new demo it crashes within 2 mins then red lights on reboot:confused:

Here is hoping its quick :(

P.S mine is 12 months old to the day

:eek: *locks all the doors and buys some extra locks* You are NOT nicking my 360 :p That and my cat, I fight to the death for ;) :p

Really gutted to hear yours has died again though :( Sucks :(

I'm still on my first one :o Just over a year old now, gets played on pretty much every day and has been left on overnight in the past and for 12hrs or more. And it's always lived vertically.....:eek:
 
dude, that sucks :(

Hope you get it back sooner than 30 days

Dunno what i'd do if this current one bricked it, its out of warranty cos i ripped it open a few days before MS said they were extending the warranty on all 3 red ring 360's!

Cant really afford another one at the min....though it'd probs be a good thing, would be able to get one with my uni work and not get distracted with halo 3 co-op lol
 
If your stuck for a box dude gimmie a shout (I assume you have my email addy somewhere...) I have the box mine was returned in if your interested :)

Also myself and McChumpiel are bring spare 360's to the LAN so bring your axe and we can still jam on GH2 :D

Cheers buddy, I *think* I've got a box somewhere, it's the packing/protection I may have a problem with, but I'm sure one of the neighbours will have some bubble wrap stuff.

Use old pairs of underpants to pad the box.

UPS man gave me the sensible advice of holding onto the box they return it in in case I need it again soon.

The 360 must be a legend at UPS.

I work for UPS and I regularly pick up or return anywhere from between 1-5 of them a week depending what round i am doing at the time...

They said 30 days to me I think, and it was back inside 2 weeks.

I got mine back within a week..fixed and with a new quiet dvd drive as well. Might impressed with that. They say 30 days to cover their backsides but its likely to be back with you within a week or so.

Dunno about padding the box out, i used an old dell laptop box i had lying around and i didnt pad it out...guess it got their in one piece:p.
 
You could stick it in a fridge and it would still get 3ROD, i've mentioned it on here before but my mate is on his 12 360 and he has his on a desk with nothing anywhere near it to block any vents and its not far from a window which is open pretty much all the time, I personally dont think there is anything you can do to prevent it.

Although I had my 360 from launch and it was fine for me, sold it to a friend and he still plays on it now :)
