I thought I'd have a little rant and seeing as there are fair few Xbox 360 gamers on here, I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem...
It FU$KED up! Went to play it this evening and after 5mins it froze... Turned it off, turned it back on and it froze again with colourful lines down the screen...
Looked online, folowed the step by step guide Microsoft provide to deal with such situations and still nothing. Moved the Xbox to another room and tv and now black screena nd white diaganol lines from the word go...
Rang Microsoft and it's not covered under their extended warranty because i have had the red rings of death... So its goign to cost ?60 plus postage!
Anyone had this problem, got any useful advice?
Oh and they said it'll be 5-7weeks. C*CKS
Chris
Im saying nothing lol.
Apart from SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SONY!
Baaahahahahahaaaa

hahaha, that cheered me up :)

no red lights... thats the problem!
Its a sub standard product and im afraid you dont have any of my sympathy at all, its about time people stopped giving the useless twunts money IMO! Maybe if people stpped buying it they would spend a little time making it work properly rather than just trying to beat Sony to the shops!
Pay the 60 quid, wait 7 weeks, and then have another 60 ready for when it breaks again. OR spend some real money on a Playstation, and look forward to years of trouble free gaming.

haha, i know you're right deep down... but at the mo, i cant afford the ?60 let allow the ?400 odd

i did start talking it apart earlier, but there's a microsoft seal that i couldn't remove :(
you could see if you can get a receipt for one off ebay or similar and then take it back to that shop :D
I'm sure Dar purchased a broken one and fixed it too.

they ran the serial number which has the date of sale on it... so they already no it's out of date.
Yup I fixed mine and played it for a few months before it broke again. So I fixed it and it broke etc etc. It now sits on the window sil and the Wii has pride of place.
I dunno if mine can go back to Microsoft since it now contains bits of XE lol

Definately don't break the seal chap.
Oh and watch out for any painted/anodised screws as if their scratched they will say you've tampered with it.
Bite the bullet and pay the ?60.
The 5-6 week is a predicted time.... basically they will take yours apart and see whats wrong. If its something they can fix quickly and easily then they will... if its more terminal then they normally send you a recon'd unit which i think is covered for 12 months.
Lots of people have received recon'd units within 2 weeks. ;)
By the way.... it used to be ?80 for an out of warranty fix.
Don't forget to remove your hard drive otherwise you probably won't get it back.
Lee youre a gayer, you try and play online, the online'in on a 360 is sencond to none if you ask me..
iirc on the 3 you have to have people on youre friends lists to play them, on the 360 you can play an1 any time.. and there mainly all fat yanks that you can abuse.. Dawg!
plus ive had mine wel over 5months now played it for 10hours none stop and neve had a problem, even leave it on over nite if i fall to sleep...
please for the love of all things sane, dont have a pissing console argument.
They all have something going for them and they are all different. Weve had/seen this argument time and time and time again.
mr Chimp just needs to get his working again

it is a massive problem that microsoft should do more to correct i think its disgusting the way they treat there customers.

i will be paying the ?60 to get it fixed once i can be ****d to speak to the ****ing muppetts at there call centre .

No, sorry, i couldnt give a ****e which one's better. I couldnt care less if the Xbox online gaming is ten times better than sony's. Whats better as a console isnt the point im getting at!
plus ive had mine wel over 5months now played it for 10hours none stop and neve had a problem, even leave it on over nite if i fall to sleep...
See.. Martin thinks that its great that his Xbox has lasted 5 fecking months and its not broken!!!! Brainwashed I tell you!!!
There is NO other company on the planet that can take the p1ss out of its customers SO much, and get NO retribution.. in fact, on the contrary, they have people overjoyed their unstable console is still going after 5 months, or exclaiming joyously how the out of warranty fix is now only ?60 when it used to be ?80!
WHY does no one boycott them and force them to make it work? WHY do people keep buying them making them think its ok? WHY WHY WHY?? My business partner bought one at christmas for his stepson, he managed to get halfway through Assasins Creed before the poor little thing waved a white flag and died. He was going to send it back, but upon my advice he smashed it with a big hammer, and bought a ps3 instead. And I guarantee it will still be going when the PS4 comes out!
Sorry Stu, Ill shut up about it when Microsoft get it right.
Im guessing ill never shut up aout it!
So whats your opinion of the 360 then Lee?
lol lol lol lol lol lol
lmfao. lol
Problem is, its not an opinion, its fact! Ive played a 360, i thought it was awesome! I can see why they're so popular in the sense of playability!
They are awesome, and im sure theres a more that dont go wrong than ones that do :)

Unfortunately, your wrong. Ive seen around 3 different independent surveys, one of which was on 360gamer.com. They ALL suggested a failiure rate of over 50%, and one gave the odds that if you bought a 360 anywhere in the world, there was more chance it would go wrong that it wouldn't! lol
Microsoft rekon its a 4% to 5% rate. Bless them.
Pmsl
Oh well, mines still working. :D
So far lol

Indeed. You have to feel for the poor buggers on the customer support lines.
Your console did well mate! Id make a very confident prediction that pretty much no 360 will make it to the big 3, let alone 4. Hopefully Microsoft will take their time over the next one, but i doubt it. If they dont, i just hope people are a bit more reluctant to buy one! They need a kick up the ass to do the job properly!
Ive got a NES and a Super NES for some retro gaming! Still going strong! Its a shame that kids in 10 years wont get to experience some retro 360 gaming. Unless somone buys one and mothballs it lol

super nes?..pffffft! all you need is a mega drive with sonic the hedgehog! they don't build them like that anymore
talking of playstations, my PS2 is just starting to play up, although i have had it for 11 thousand years :D

My brothers is a launch console which was pre-ordered and has never gone wrong.
Oh and Assassins creed is ****e!
on the phone MS said their failure rate is 25-30%..... still gash as we get one failure out of a million and we get reamed hard lol.
I appreciate that the service is dire from MS, the product shouldnt overheat (the first one didnt have any problems that I knew about). But odds on the PS3 isnt as infallible as everyone makes out... give it some time to dry out a joint or two. Plus the PS3 wouldnt look right in my media rack lol
just buy a Wii :D

lol... I have every confidence it won't ;)
I wasn't too impressed with the idea of the wii.
Until I had a play and was quite impressed... it soon wore off though.
It's unique but very repetative. I can see its appeal with a crate of beer and some mates.

Indeed, imo its by far the best console to play with others, ive not had as much fun on a multiplayer since mariokart :) When your hammered, you dont care much about the graphics lol
Wii's are sh**e IMO.
The control system gets annoying after a while, and is dangerous to do while pi**ed lol
And the games are crap, kiddy efforts for 4 year olds.
^
Plus for those sober moments it's interesting seeing old people and mamas and dadas playing it too! There more funny than drunk people imo!

it was sarcasm since everyone abused my thread to argue with one another
Wii's rock!!! I swear its just the fat and the lazy who don't like them.
Most people only have a little dabble and throw the WiiMote through something, then give up. If you play it properly you will find that the control system is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest and when you play any other console it feels like a step backwards. This dosen't include racing games, the WiiMote is rubbish for that, although Me RJ & Scott had a blast on GT Pro Series.
It's not just cute titles either. Resident Evil 4 is hardly a game for a 4 year old and on the Wii, is the best version of the game I have played yet.
I will be buying a PS3 at some stage (Probably), it's a very nice piece of kit. But the Wii is cheap, fun & engaging with some awesome titles on the shelfs and in development.
Why do people only want to like one console? I have every single console thats been released after the Saturn & Playstation and have enjoyed them all for their games. It's not the hardware that defines a console but the games and how entertaining they are.
It's a shame about the 360 though. I want to like it but the damned things keep breaking.
although Me RJ & Scott had a blast on GT Pro Series.
That was classic fun with those little flatbed van things lol
That was classic fun with those little flatbed van things lol
Yeah, they were ace. Those little, teeny weeny things that looked like mobility scooters were fun. Playing the game with three people was great since if two were fighting the 3rd could sneak past.
I'm thinking that the next Western meet should be at mine in the kids play room for a full on race series:D
Another one bites the Dust'a! ****ers
Wii's rock!!! I swear its just the fat and the lazy who don't like them.
Agreed :D We've got a Wii, its funking ace :D come home from a lairy night up the town on the pish, play a game of tennis or golf hammered out your face with your mates lol
One of these days I may consider actually buying a Playstation.....never ever owned one, never really had much interest in gaming really until we got the Wii.
