Default Raise your hand if you've had problems with your xbox 360

Like the title says. I want to see how many people here have had issues of any type with there 360. I can get it for my birthday along with xbox live but I don't know about it since I keep hearing of this "red ring of death".

He's right. All the new ones you see on the shelf no longer have the problem.

Im sorry, what did you say? SOmthing crazy was in my ear. My friend bought a 360 elite in march and he just got the red ring of death last week. Hes so mad because he only played it like once every 2 days. Im not telling you to not get a 360 but you should know that the red ring of death is still around.

I haven't played my 360 in a couple of months. I don't have any good games for it so I just don't play it.

I've got 2 dead ones. Yay!

RROD has been fixed on elites. It can still happen, but is not so epidemic as it was. All Xbox360s have a 3 year warranty now, as a result of this problem.

Well, I have never had a problem with mine. CPR this is Wipe Out.

How do I know if I got the newer gen? I'm pretty sure I did, but I'm not 100% sure.

A triend of mine has just had his returned for the third time after repair. What I can't understand is why don't they just replace it with a new one (he noted the serial number and has recieved the same one back every time) ?

As I have been taking the mickey out of him I have a few images/links.....enjoy

I have had two xbox 360's. The first one had a Red Ring of Death within 24 hours of getting it. I returned it for a new one. The second one scratched several games to the point of being unplayable, even when I had it completely stable. It then, later, showed no picture on my TV screen. I called Microsoft to see what was up and just over the phone, they figured it was just like a red ring of death, but the red ring of death indicator was also broken. Now, this was a few years ago, but if I were to do it all over again, I would stay away from the 360. Just my $.02. =)

If you get one with a faclon mobo then you won't have any problems. They are coming out with a 65nm GPU and GPU mobo soon so go the the microsoft forums and learn more about that.
