Well about two weeks ago, I just got my 360 back after i got the damned red rings. I wasn't too upset. Still had my PSP and PC to play for like 3 weeks while I waited. When I finally did get it back, my first thought was "Yes! Can't wait til I get all those new games for Christmas! It's going to be an awesome break!" But today, the 21st, 4 days before all my gaming fantasies were to be granted, the unthinkable happened. The rings returned. Freakin TWO WEEKS after getting it back, it breaks down again. My Christmas break will be without Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, and Assassin's Creed.

I'm sorry if this sounds like whining, but WTF is Microsoft doing? Two years after release and the system is still the WORST-made system ever! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the 360. Halo 3 rules and Live is amazing with all the boys playing. But WHY did it have to be so poorly made? I'd like to say that I'll never play my 360 again, but the games are too good and too many of my friends have Live. I've been pro-360 since it was released, despite the frequent meltdowns, but this is honestly unforgiveable. Anyone else feeling the same frustration?

I haven't had any problems but it has scratched my games alot, and my dad owns a video store and it has been a year and not a single PS3 game has a scratch on it, while 360 games a breaking constantly. But I will still hold on to my 360, Gears of war is just too fun.

I have never had the RRoD problem because when it happens i fx it myself XD! If you live on Ecuador give me $20 and your 360 will NEVER break again (but will get lauder)

I havbe had mine 1 year and 3 months. I've had to send it in once and when i got it back their turned out to be something wrong with the power supply thing so i had to send that in but they got it back to me in like a week so it wasn't too bad. Now my xbox will randomly get 2 red rings (not the ring of death) but just 2 red rings and i will have too disconnedt the power supply and wait 20 minutes. It does it like once a month and kind of makes me mad when im playing online with my friends but im not sure if im going to send it in or i might wait til i get my ps3 in january. Also i've had 2 games that are unplayable because of the 360 and my NHL08 gets disc unreadable evrey 1-2 hours. Anyways to sum it all up I hate M$ and i hope they will fail next Gen.
