My xbox is failing..

Jo2009 · 22 Dec 2009 at 22:03

I got a xbox 360 about two weeks ago from currys. It's bin fine but after about two days it started to brake.

Ever time I turn on the xbox it make a noise like the fan is hiting something. After about 10min it will stop making the noise.

Some times when I play on games, the games will lag rely bad even if nit online.

The thing I would like to know is. Do I take it back to currys or microsoft?

Thank you.

Within a year definitely Currys. After you'll have to go to MS.

(Yes, I'm aware of the irony of my own post, thanks)

Agreed, repaired around a dozen 360's and always amazed in the bad quality.

But saying that its a great gaming console

Well I've had a motherboard that failed so PCs are a peice of junk too...

To the OP - after just two weeks Currys will just replace it with no quibbles.
