Are you kidding me?!! I don't see how people can just overlook that these things break down and it is a "better" system than the Playsation 3

Does everyone who's 360 breaks have to post a thread about it? WE KNOW THE 360 HAS HARDWARE PROBLEMS SO STOP POSTING ABOUT IT.

If i was going to buy a new console....I would want to know how reliable it was.....so yes, it is necessary to see how many peoples 360's have broken.

Hardware failures are more likely to occur early in the console's life span than in the middle. That's why they usually have one year warrantys free, but want you to pay for more years on the warranty. This is true for all electronics.

they had hardware problems...get over it. It's been known for a lllllllllloooooonnnngggg time. Personally, I owned 3 ps2's...so to me it doesn't make sense to critisize one company for having troubles with it's second console while it's competitor also had troubles with it's second console.

So get it fixed like everybody else has.Its a pain in the butt when this stuff happens but it happens,deal with it and keep on living.We all know at this point that the 360 has had some hardware problems but they have extended the warranty to cover those who have had hell keeping one running.The problem is suppose to be taken care of soon and hopfully we will stop seeing all these red ring threads.

You got luck. When mine exploded it killed my cat, dog, wife and the $1 million i was keeping in a safe right next to the PS3. The PS3 ruined my life :cry:

For some reason mine never breaks, ive been hoping it would so i can get retro-fitted a new mobo. My 360 sits in a well ventilated glass 56' DLP TV centerwith central air and no dust buildup. Maybe I should shove it in a box, wrapped in a towel and play outside in blazing heat.

Wish me luck

the 360 hardware is the pinto of the video game world. everyone knows that if you want a reliable piece of hardware you shouldnt get a 360. this is unfortunate because there are some great games coming like bioshock. just be happy there is a 3YEAR WARRANTY and replace it and stop posting about it cause your like the 2millionth person to do so. we all wish the 360 was as reliable as the ps3 or wii but thats not likely to happen any time soon.

My launch PS2 still works and so does my 360. It can't be all of them.

Hey, that's better than what mine did. It transformed into a robot and assassinated the President. It took the secret service twenty minutes of beating me before they realized I wasn't the culprit!

That was stupid

my 3fixme broke in the box right after i paid for it.

I opened the box to my 360 wrong and it fell on it's side on my hardwood flooring. Instant disc drive failure :lol:

So, I choose not to include it as a 1st Xbox, considering I returned it on the same day.

Just call Microsoft and get if fixed. I think they're adding an additional heatsink to all returned 360s. Hopefully this will result in a permanent fix for you.

You can't blame them they want to play the games. It just sucks that the hardware is crap. My son wants one but I am trying to get him to want a PS3 just because I don't want to have to deal with the hardware problems.

Maybe it has something to do with Xbakes 360 being designed like an Easybake oven.

I've had my 360 for 8 months. It hasn't broke, froze, anything.

I had my PS2 for a month and got DRE.
