I've officially gone through 3 Xbox 360s within one year. They keep sending me refurbs, each with a brand new batch of ridiculous problems, and I'm sick of it.

PS3 anyone?

How about you sell the refurb on ebay and then use that money towards a brand new 360?

I don't think too many people in here are going to recomend a PS3 to you. I've been through 2 360's in a year and although it is a bit annoying to be on my 3rd 360 already, I just have never been into any of the few exclusives Sony has to offer. If they still had Assassin's Creed exclusive, then MAYBE. But no.

I agree. it's too bad for you especially since you would have to lower your standards and buy a PS3... I mean, how good can a system be when the guy that started it all steps down?

Thats a waste of time, the refurbs and the new ones all have the same problems and your just as likely to get a messed up one either way.

Sure it will. You'd be surprised how much companies really do care for an extremely dissastisfied customer. Bad publicity and word spreads quick, especially with the amount of 360 problems going around.

They're not entitled to give you a new one unfortunately. Same thing goes with any other consumer electronic product. Some get the breaks, some don't sometimes.

"Flipping on their asses" with customer service is usually futile.

Good luck though.

That thread at the top of the main forum is full of dissatisfied customers. That doesn't seem to have done any good.

I was told by the service rep that after the 3rd xbox breaks you are "supposed" to get a new one. Then again I have been waiting two weeks to try and get my xbox back. God I hate microsoft sometimes.

the 360 sucks if u even had a ps3 u wouldnt be saying that

ps3s havent had that much glitches and they are newer also

the 360 is only good for shooters

but even 360 esclusives that arent made by ms will ported to the ps3!

Condemned, Call of Juarez and CoD 2 are not 360 exclusives, they are all on the pc.

Curses!!! You've discovered Microsoft's nefarious plot to ruin your enjoyment of gaming! You must be taken care of now!!! I feel your pain, although with a different system. I've had my DS Lite in for repair three times, as well as replacing one with a broken power switch. Sometimes you just get the lemons...

haha, wow! That's wieird! I guess you can't get lucky but you can get unlucky. I've lost my launch 360, and my core that I bought with replacement from EB is going (got my first 'cannot read the disc' error tonight). I've kind of accepted it - I don't blame M$ though. They tried, I bought even though the hardware may not have been solid. So that's on me, not them. Granted, I should be able to believe that they would sell something solid and error free, but I've been around long enough to know better. It is what it is - if you want to play, you've got pay....lots! haha!

Their products a shody, My xbox 360 hasnt broken down but it has minor problems like freezing once and a while as well as other stuff but what gets me is the quality of their other stuff, Their wireless mic is a peice of junk, The steering wheel isnt that great, They charge to much for their products and the gamepad while comfy is horrible, The sticks are to tight imo and the d-pad is just plain horrible, But this can be overlooked by the quality of games coming and the fact that ive just have to have all three systems anyways.

actually PS3 wouldn't be a bad idea. Just wait till the holidays when they will eventually lower the price and fix hardware problems. If my xbox360 died, i would send it in for repairs, if problems continued i'd just stop investing further $ towards it and take a chance with a PS3.

I keep wondering the same thing. I actually wonderhow many times a person has to be robed before they realize what is happening to them.
