Well I went to play some GRAW 2 and when I turned it on the image was a bit scrambled. The GPU is fried or something. So my second 360 which was a new replacement is finally dead. I guess I' ll see if " third one' s a charm" as they say.

It didn' t even fuck up as I was playing it, it was fine the last time I played and when I turned it on it started fucked up.

Im still waiting for my xbox, nearly on my second month, i hope you are my lucky!

seriously , this is really scrary, i can' t believe such big company like microsoft does this kind of mistake in manufacturing, AND IT' S FUCKING NOT 3% the rate is much much much higher, may be over than 50%, and you got the sample right here in kikizo... according to the store i bought from, almost all of its customers who bought the 360 had it repaired later... now all of us buy afan and we put it right in the back to suck heat.... may be you guys should do this specialy if you pay for intensive hours.


Agent, what' s your manufacturing date?

your region?

how much do you play non stop?

Nitro is on his 4th or 5th I believe. a working 360 in 10 years is going to be worth alot of money!

Working on 360s is worth a lot of money now.

Dude, try the towel trick. It doesn' t violate the warranty, and worse comes to worse & it doesn' t work, they' ll just think you really screwed up your box.

I rarely play, and never for more than 2 hours, my xbox should be arriving thuesday, thats 2 months since i sent it. I need to restart GRAW since i dont remember the storyline, and i think i might replay Halo to set myself up for the third one

VX put a fan behind your xbox, yes it' ll make noise but once you start playing you won' t give a damn attention but (according to many people i know) your xbox will be much safer... i' m still on the probation period and i hope it won' t die on me, god hear me.

I don' t think it matters, they still haven' t fixed the problem. The defective rate is probably in the 80-100% range. It' s just a matter of time and luck before your 360 dies.

I just turned in on and the screen seemes fine now. Piece of shit.

2 months?!!! I sent my 3rd 360 in exactly 11 days ago today and its already been shipped

You dont live in europe?

U.S. [:' (]

I guess living on a different continent would delay shipping wouldnt it

It' s sent from germany, so not really!

I hope its because they fitted in the new cooler, so it wont die on me again!

I hope they redo mine from top to bottom

Xbox Canada is the best, I shipped mine out on Monday and recieved a new unit on that Friday when my first unit fried..

... But isnt that a bad thing? I mean if they just give you a new console how do you know its not broken too? Wouldnt it be better to just have it repaired?

You guys should really join the PC gaming side, its more expensive but you dont have to put up with this kind of bullshit

I would rather have my console break every six months and have it away for 2 weeks than put that kind of money into a pc.

Already there, infact I have a gaming rig and I just bought an EVGA 8800GTX. I should get it in the early part of next week.

Meh, I don' t care, I don' t pay a cent to get a replacement and if my new one dies I' ll just send that in a get another new one. The only downside is that downloads are tied to the console and not just the Gamer tag for some shitty reason. So everytime I get a new 360 I have to rebuy all my Arcade games if I want to play them offline. Which is irritating, how many times will I have to buy Geometry Wars?

I thought arcade games were tied to the account? Do you have to send in your HD too or something?

They' re tied to your account, HDD (obviously) and your 360. MS did it this way to make it difficult to copy Arcade games and give them away. A pain in the ass for everyone.
