Microsoft Xbox 360 Reliability Woes Continue

I used to be a fanboy for PS3 but i've realised that it's anti-progressive for me to favour one console over another. This console war will only divide attention of game developers and force them to go multiplatform to turn a profit, that will inevitably harm quality compared to developing it souly for one system.
But Xbox360 reliability is the one thing holding me back; the games, HDMI, online service and everything else has matured and hopefully the new design will eliminate RRoD, but their reputation is damaged and they have to work hard to earn it back.

I have had no problems with my XBox and as a gamer I have to say it has the best graphics - better than Playstation 3. XBox will recover from this because they have the best technology despite some apparent glitches - Playstation is limited

I am on my third 360 if this goes here i come ps3

hahahahahahahaha XBOX SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on my third XBox360 also.. This is my issue. They keep saying (they being the guys at the local video game store) that the new XBox360 Elite is supposed to have the bugs worked out. That is their big selling ploy. So after camping out all night, and shelling out close to $500 bucks for the original one, I'm now supposed to trade mine in and pay an additional $250 - $300 for the elite, in hopes that I can finally have one that works... Am I missing something here? It seems to me that if this is in fact the case, why doesn't Microsoft replace all the faulty 360 units with the new Elite units, and be done with it altogether?

Got 2 deab x-box consoles at home glad I did not jump on a 360.

Dude it like buying a car. You never buy the first model. Wait a year or two untill the kinks get worked out, although sometimes you may luck out and have a good console. Im still waiting till there are no more bugs.

This isnt a desighn fault on the side of the Consol... but it's the idiocy of the person who uses it... if he read the manuel he would have known not to swith the position of the 360 with a disk in place... he should NOT get any money threw this law suite..

I won my XBox 360 and I am really glade I sold it on Ebay.

You 360 haters are losers !!!!!! I still have my original xbox and my 360 both of which run FINE (I didn't try to mod my xbox like alot of y'all whose xbox's are broken) !!!!!! And yes I scratched a game dis,c but uggh I deserved it as I read the manual and forgot what it said...until I heard the disc getting scratched. My own fault not Microsoft !!!! And this is the best console and the best technology. Go Microsoft Go !!!!!

Heh, I just sent mine in yesterday. I'll hang on to it though, I dig the 360. I'll probably get a PS3 later, too. Just work a little harder and get both, darmnit! :-)

I bought a 360 on launch day, and about 8 months after it got the red ring of death:(. I called the xbox service line went around and arond with them they basicly told me to buy a new one or just about pay for a new one to have them fix it or give me a used one:( So after calling them back everyday just to hope they help a hard core stood in line toooooooo long at launch day GAMER! They just kept being extreamly rude to me!!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(:( so I got rid of the borken one and bought a new one that I find out today Microsoft is saying that one is defected too just has not broke down yet!:( So does anyone know if or what I should do to get my money back for the first 360 I bought that I dont have anymore it is kinda destroyed do to my fustration at the time with microsoft dont they keep log of its serial# and my info so they can prove that I did own that system cause I dont have profe of purchase anymore?????? After all I called them everyday about it for over a month!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone out there bought a new one like me and if they have we sould all keep this in mind!!!!!!!

ha xbox sux

My friend is on his fourth console all replaced within the warrantee, my console which I bought at the same time same place still works, its all down to temperature I have mine laid flat in the open. Friend has his on top of his amp under TV in cabinet. The consoles are mass produced with minimal solder so when the temperature rises the internal components simply brake away from the main board, also the main board mounts are to tight and cause damage at the slightest nock. The trick is if you can’t look after it break it before warrantee is out.
