Official Xbox 360 Thread

When you get a new 360, it is also covered bythe warranty. For like three years.

But his is not new.

I meant new as in getting it back from Microsoft new. Not store-bought new.

EDIT: Real talk.

After my first one died, that's kind of the attitude I took. I didn't trade in all of my games, but I spend more time gaming on my PC and PS3 now. The 360 hardware is just so bad and unreliable (still) that it's not worth it to build a huge library for it unless you are fine with constantly screwing around with hardware issues, imo.

How do I make this happen? If this POS is going to have to be repaired, I'd at least not want to have to pay for Microsoft's incompetence any more than I already have.

Cover the vents, turn it on and let it bake.

The best part is that now I have to pay Microsoft to repair it (read: switch out for another console) because it's not under warranty. That's right folks! The 360 that Microsoft sent me only five months ago breaks down, and I have to pay them to repair it. Someone should pass a lemon law to stop these fuckers.

I'm seriously considering just tossing the console in the trash and trading all my games towards a PS3. My opinion of the 360 has just nosedived since I've lost 2 consoles in only a year and a half, and I sincerely hope that the costs of repairing all these broken 360s drives Microsoft out of the hardware business. My original Xbox's DVD drive died after a year and a half, and their wireless bridge only works line-of-sight (which it conveniently doesn't mention anywhere on the box, only in the instruction manual). The company sucks at making software, and its hardware is infinitely worse.

Fuck the 360 and fuck Microsoft up the ass with a wooden pole.

Jesus. This just sold me a PS3.

Oh, it gets better! I tried R6: Vegas 2 again, and this time the console allowed me to play...



... but in black and white. No color at all.

WTF.

That's the new artsy fartsy mode exclusive to Puerto Ricans. :D

I've had my Elite for over a year with no problems. Ps3 sits sad and alone while I play all my super fun online games on the 360. You could get a PS3, but only if you want online modes that don't work or have shitty connections.
