I still say its a worry even though I want one. Sorry man, thats bad luck. Number 3?

Unlucky

, mine packed up after a month too. Had no problems then it just started crashing all the time.

TriedandTested · 10 Feb 2006 at 20:45

Argh. It's just the hassle/being without it that's annoying. It's the second one i've had..soon to be a third on the way.

It's been perfect since it arrived a few weeks back.

Kainz · 10 Feb 2006 at 20:46

Damn, thats messed up mate

Did you do anything to the unit before it died?

TriedandTested · 10 Feb 2006 at 20:48

Nothing at all, just turned it on..clicked to log in. Went downstairs, came back up. Black screen. Turned it off, then back on. Red lights.

Gonna have a right moan at MS this time...can't be bothered ringing tonight but will tomorrow.

TriedandTested · 10 Feb 2006 at 20:57

Working again now...but i know it wont last. Will ring MS in the morning.

Well...lasted a little less that i'd hoped. Switched back to the 360 after posting here and now i have....

Pretty.

Is this still an overheating issue?

TriedandTested · 10 Feb 2006 at 21:06

I'm almost 100% sure it's not to do with heat...my room's pretty cool and the xbox and PSU both have plenty of room.

Elrein · 10 Feb 2006 at 21:06

Unlucky, lets hope the 3rd times a charm

TriedandTested · 10 Feb 2006 at 21:14

Fingers crossed

dannyjo22 · 10 Feb 2006 at 21:37

I wonder how long it will be before the 360 is on watchdog.

LoadsaMoney · 10 Feb 2006 at 21:37

Bloody hell not another one. :eek:

Unlucky dude.

, hope your next one works.

Was the PS2 on Watchdog? If that wasn't, then the 360 shouldn't be tbh. Sony wouldn't even replace faulty PS2s, u had to buy a new one.

davewhite04 · 10 Feb 2006 at 21:49

Have you got the 360 plugged directly into a mains socket?

Hmm that seems unlikely as it would be a clear violation of the law which they could be easily sued for.

I was just wondering if some other appliance may have been taking too much of the juice if it was plugged into one of those cheap 4 socket blocks, but obviously this is not the case. Personally I wouldn't connect any of my gear to anything other then a quality surge protector.

Hope you have better luck next time though.
