360s breaking is not as big a deal as people think

Whenever i read a topic about 360 games there are always a few fanboys that have to get in their very important statement. "It is a defective console, so I will not get it!" The 360's may be breaking, but people make a much larger deal of it. I know about 10 friends that have 360's, and when i got one last December only one of them had ever had theirs break. So i was not very worried about mine breaking. But after about 3 months of playing, and loving my 360, I did get the 3 red rings. At first I was very pissed. I called the 360 people and told them what happend. They said they would ship me a box to mail my 360. 3 days later the box shows up. That day, I pack up my 360 and ship it back to Microsoft. Then I went on vacation for 6 days. Then when I got home it was back. And inside wasn't just a new 360, but I also got a copying of the game the Godfather, and 2 free months of XBL gold. So overall I was very pleased, I wasnt allowed to use my 360 for about 10 days, but I probably wouldn't have even played it fo r7 of those days, plus i got a free game.

I have actually hoped my 360 would break again so I would get more free stuff, but it is too much fun.

So I have had my new 360 for about 3 months now and nothing has gone wrong. So if fanboys, are gonna complain about having to wait 10 days to play a system, then they are crazy. Plus I know that Sony fanboys can wait that long, they are waiting an entire year, to play a few good games.

Also I am not a 360 fanboy, I plan to get a PS3, and maybe a wii, in the future.

um, i am waiting on my 4th new 360 at the moment, so i am afraid it is a big deal to me. I would sel it all and get a ps3 , but there are like no games i want on the ps3 at the moment.jt8b2z

My friend's on his 3rd, but i think it's because his room is not well ventilated, he'll never go Sony though.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. None of my consoles have EVER had this problem. People need to take better care of their electronics.

i have taken perfect care of my 360's and all of them ended up breaking somehow, just face it, there is a big problem with them.

My 360 hasn't broken or shown any signs that it will soon, But Im not ignorant to whats been happening to others I just hope my doesnt break not because it will cost me money to fix but because I dont want to have to go through the trouble of getting it fixed.

Plus with the new warranty im not that bothered if it breaks or not, Ill just feel a bit annoyed nothing more to say here to be honest with.
