RIP 360

ARGH! ANNOY!

So I sent off my xbox to Microsoft 15 days ago, the bloody thing decided to RROD right after I got home from buying Street Fighter 4, I managed to get to the character select screen itching to kick some *** and then it froze, no biggy I thought, reset it, and bam, RROD.

Well I got it back today, played for 20 mins and RROD again!

This is ridiculous, this is my 3rd 360 box I'm on now (my first 360 had a nasty habit of scratching disks while stationary)

Oh well, on to number 4! haven't been able to play SF4 and now I get to miss the RE5 launch by about 2 weeks, yipee!

I bought an xbox 360 jasper the other week, got a lot of friends interested in how long/if it lasts.

If you kick up a fuss you might get a free wireless controller! (at least I think that's what you get after you've had a free month of gold)

It's not unlucky, it's just owned

Speaking of consoles RROD, I just checked status of mine

Current Status Details
Your repaired console has been shipped and is on its way back to you.

Shipping Information
Carrier: UPS

Not bad, considering I only sent it thursday!!!
I'm hoping I got a newer console

Yup kick up a fuss and you can get freebies from them. When last I checked though, it was just a game of your choice from a list of really old titles.

Its a serious problem !

It has happened to both my brother and myself and we have both turned to a PS3.....but only out of desperation because of the problems we have had with our 360's

If my 360 worked fine I would have never moved to a PS3...I am sure my brother and I are not the only ones in this position....hopefully Microsoft will learn from this - I'd like to say the 360 is really good apart from this but I can't really because its such a fundamental thing to get wrong!

Some people have all the fun

launch model here still running

politely suggest that this is not on and unless reparations are made it will be the last time.

for the record, 2 consoles, one falcon and one xenon, no issues with either, it shouldn't break as easily as it does but i'm sure some of it is down to user error (ie not putting it in a well ventilated area (when it clearly says in the manual to place in a well ventilated area)
