Thanks for the advice.
I took it back this morning and they let me swap over the harddrive so i was quite pleased, took about 30 mins off messing around but atleast they didnt bother testing it.
Got home with the new console, powered up, no picture on screen and the pad didnt connect, just keep flahing all quadrants RAAAHHHHHHH
One hour later i arrive back in the store, this time they do test it and get the same results on two TV's, again they swap it and let me keep my HD, took around 40mins this time.
At least number 3! SEEMS to work ok so far, but im not atall impressed with the MS Testing/QA of the machines, very poor imo. Also all the returns must be costing MS a fortune!
Edit: No idea what the faulty machines Date was but this one is 05-02-2006

Well im on my way to get my 360 replaced because it keeps random freezing on me, and its getting right on my wick now. Happened a month or more ago the first few times on PGR but now its happening on the new Fifa and burnout revenge at just random times, can run fine for a couple of days and then die 2-3 times in an hour.
Annoyed with my 360 saga. It is as follows;
360 Died 3 weeks ago with 3 red lights.
Microsoft failed to get courier out 3 times because of internal errors with communication. Each time told they would resend labels.
Got tired of it so went through Gameplay.
New 360 arrived Saturday just gone.
New 360 was set up on Monday.
New 360 died on Monday with 3 red lights.
New 360 is somewhere on way back to Gameplay.
Will see what the outcome is soon...

Those problems are caused by the HDD, my friend had issues putting his HDD back in after mine was in.

Mine was going fine until this evening. I'm having trouble even booting it now....
It's been locking up randomly all evening and now it's just starting to boot up then freezing completely.
This is quite a good read on reliabilty figures of the 360...

Its quite interesting that most polls ive seen seem to be around the 70% fine, 15 with minor issues and 15 with failures.
IGN backs that up too with their poll.

mine is generally ok.
DOA4 - Works Perfectly
perfect Dark - Works Perfectly
Fifa WC - game lags every couple of matches though only for replaying.
Hitman - freezes at least once in a gaming session.
King Kong - Works Perfectly.
The Console itself doesn't seem to be overheating and my lights are always green

Since swapping my cables to set my refresh rate as 60Hz I ocasionally get no red on my display, a quick fiddle with the cable sorts it and I've never had it happen in game.
Only done it a few times so far so touch wood all is ok or its just the cable.
