Ha. They were all cheap and on clearance, at least.

I just bought a new 360 since my old one only plays a short time before locking up and/or shutting off. (The display gets a checkerboard pattern and the colors desaturate.) I bought a core system for $279.99 (no sales tax and free overnight shipping was a pretty damn sweet deal) and switched over my hard drive. Now I have a quieter console, I hope a more reliable one, and an HDMI connection.

I'm pretty happy overall, but two other Xboxes I know of have also recently gone on the fritz. I'm giving my new one its own table with plenty of breathing room around it. The only thing I'm worried about is that the system might get jolted a bit during Dance Dance Revolution.

Is jumping around something I should worry about, as far as damaging the console? I really don't want to spend another penny on repairing or replacing the hardware, and I've been ripped off already.

As long as you're not 400 pounds you should be alright. I'd be afraid of scratching the disc if you could make that shit shake like an earthquake.

the checkerboard pattern is well known (at least in cpu graphics cards) of overheating and more than likely the system is on it's way to RRoD. i would have towel baked it personally.

Get back on Uno so I can decimate you, Nick.

Got my 360 back! Have so many XBLA games to buy and play for 10 minutes and never touch again.

A few of us played last night. There was a abundance of Uno penis to be had. You would have loved it.

We saw ElCapitan's "o face" too.

It has to look hilarious with that neck brace on.

How long does it take for Microsoft to do a warranty repair these days? I'm getting disc read errors like a mofo, with brand new games.

I don't care about being without the 360 for a month, but it's my primary DVD player too. Nuts.

Both my brother and I had like a 12 day wait for our 360s, I was expecting a month or so.
