XBOX BLUES

[Meaney]

Sooooooooooooooooo, Has any of you had issues with your XBOX 360??????????????

I just sent mine in, I was having issues with the hard drive...otherwise known as the "red circle of death"

and now they are saying it might be a month before I get my 360 back. WHAT A CROCK OF SH#T

[DTro]

A month!

That's just wrong.

I would get on them about this. There's no reason it should take that long. I remember when this problem first came up. People were getting it back within days.

Good Luck

I have a launch unit and haven't had an issue yet (knocks on wood)

[Meaney]

really! I was just curious, maybe they said a month just to cover their butts. HOPEFULLY...it only takes a week or so. Im bummed, no xbox....

[zamboni]

Sooooo glad I got rid of mine. I have heard of alot of ppl having issues.

[DTro]

Even with the issues, still the best console out there.

Mine was a few weeks.....I just had to break out the original to cover me until then.

I bought the extended warranty from BestBuy just so I could over the counter swap it. I also bought my elite before the price drop. Fortunately that means when my system breaks I will get more than it costs to replace since their "warranty" is a product replacment plan.

Almost all xboxs are having problems and they say it will be a month but most will get them back in 60 plus days... mine will freeze alot..

buy the warranty for sure

That's a bold statement.

Microsoft has admitted to being well withing the standard for this type of product 3-5% defect.

Don't you think it's odd that a lot of the failures and complaints come from the same people over and over again. I really think it's a matter of heat and how they are dealing with ventilation. I've read multiple stories of people going through 5 or 6 consoles...coincidence? I don't think so.

Sorry, have to go with the Wii. More user friendly, alot cheaper and games are cheaper as well. Plus the Wii has outsold the other consoles like 5-1, even though being very hard to find. I have had both, and believe me, the Wiis my favorite. Only downfall is no online play, but it's coming.

[DTro]

I kept hearing that so I went and bought one and really didn't like it at all.

Graphics and sound were horrible and I really wanted to play something other than Mario Party 13,Mario Kart 43 and Mario Ballroom Dancing 4

dtro,

Zelda man......that's all. Or just got the Big Brain Academy....didn't think you were supposed to learn anything while playing Vids....but I am.

Well out of 17 family members having had trouble with the xbox, and myself being on alot of the xbox forums, and seeing that 9 out of 10 having problems, being on the phone a few times with them, about certain things and my brother who works for them, i think i can say that.. Most xboxs have some kind of trouble with them,..

And i was in the army in 90 -91 in D.S. and our government saids no one used chemical warfare either..Do you believe what you always read?

The xbox has 4 issues

The hard drive

Freezing

Rebooting due to the hard drive

and it's very sensitive to any scratches or thumb prints, and i dont see that as a issue if you take care of your disk

word...

I bought a Wii, it has a few fun games and I loved Zelda. But their are not that many good games for it. Wish I would have went with the 360. Anyone want to trade?!

[zamboni]

I really thought I'd love the 360, I loved my original Xbox, then I got the 360 and found out my old games weren't compatible- what a joke. Gamecube games are compatible with the Wii, plus you can download like 5 other previous Nintendo and Sega system games into your hardrive.

[Kallista]

I love my game cube lol.. Yes the Wii doesn't had as many games as it can, but maybe in time they will bring more out. My one brother has a import export business and he does get alot of games from japan we don't get here.. I really love the wii graphics.. I do really like the xbox too. Right now i completed perfect dark zero, enchanted arms, Kameo and working on Oblivion elder scrolls

[Meaney]

I GOT IT BACK TODAY!!!!!!!!! Also, I got a free month of LIVE-gold

[Kallista]

How long it did take?

thats great news

[Meaney]

7 days!

It's actually a Flathead that was caught on the Minnesota river near my home in Jordan. The fish weighed 52lbs and was my second biggest. I have a bunch of videos of some real big flatheads up on youtube including the one in my avatar. DTroFishOn is my username.
