I firmly beleive I have the least used Xbox 360... i rarely play it once a month, infact the only solid use it got was with the halo 3 beta, however it appears to have broke, maybe i didn't show it enough attention! Here are some screenshots of the problem, there are no red lights of doom or whatever just this checkerboard wierd effect on the screen which occurs after a few mins of any game:

I brought a 360 prem pack from #$%# last week, It lasted 3 days and got 3 red rings :mad: I thought this crap would have been fixed by now!Now I have to drive 12 miles to take my 360 back for a replacement :mad: :mad: :mad:

nah, mine was used for the first few weeks, then had to work away for 6 months so got packed away, then I came back to it for a week, then I moved and it was in storage for 18 months or more.

Unpacked the thing a few days ago and is working fine. Yours looks very ill though :(

Same with the wii. Used xmas day, boxing day. Been in storage since. Will get unpacked this weekend :)

Its dead.

Mine did the same when I didnt use it for a week. My blog did warn me that it was gonna kill itself if I didnt play it. I thought it was just a cry for attention.

You need a new one.

No 3 rings of death? The 360 new 3 years warranty only covers 3 rings of death right?

Hope yours isn't over 12 months old then.

So he can lie and say it is. When they test it and get the checkerboard they will fix it anyway.
 
I had the three rings of death in 42 minutes of buying a brand new one, however I gave it a five minute rest and it's worked ever since for the past 6 months.

We have enough rabbid PS3 fanboys around here thanks, we don't need another.

Not as many 360 ones tho obviously!! ;)

...and i joined this forum a year before you anyway.......so bite the curb.
 
I shall be attempting to return it to microsoft, even though i dont use i do want it, my 360's sole pupose in life is to play halo 3 when it is released and the console was a release console puchased on the 29th december 2005, I hope I can return it!

Do I have to ring Microsoft or is there an online return method?

thanks

P.s. no 3 thrings of death, i dont think its ever done that!!

This may seem like a weird question but...

Can you check the manufactured date on your 360 please, thanks!

I had to drive 15 miles to return mine, real pain in the arse tbh :( Done it twice, but 2nd time told the manager to poke it.. Thankfully my first one lasted a while (11 months), but 2nd one I had only for a week
 
Lol what is with the N73 link?

Unlucky, had to get mine replaced, they weren't too happy about it either! :mad:

That is indeed early signs of your consoles soon to be reporting the 3 rings.
