3 red lights also means a hardware failure you know.

Thank you for posting this. You explained it in the perfect way. Blind fanboys can't deny it anymore. I've had my 360 for 4 months and everyday i have had at least one disc error message, nowadays i get it about 3 times. My 360 crashes a lot as well, i'd say once every 3 days. This is the worst built console ever. Why don't those money grubbing theives manufacture it properly!!! Then they've got the nerve to actually charge people for fixing their own mess OMG!!!

They should give everyone who bought a 360 within the first an extra 2 years guarantee. If they loose money, thats their fault for causing this scandal, they've got enough money as it is.

Are they still using china to build the thing? If so, that could be the problem right there. Cheap labor == cheap product.mikasa

All electronics, with NO, i mean ZERO exceptions, have a fail rate. No electric has ever been made with a zero fail rate. Anywhere from 3%-15% of the electronic whatever it may be will stop working and usually in the first year. This is something I am not sure we will be able to get around until we can make robots that make no mistakes, to build the electronics perfectly. This means every single part will also need to be built perfectly. I doubt it will ever happen.

Can anyone provide evidence that xbox 360 has a higher fail rate than what is allowed? If you can then we can make a lawsuit against microsoft

Mine still works fine.thirstychainsaw

I love my Xbox 360 also. But I have had to return it twice to Microsoft for "repairs". Sure it didn't cost me anything but it is an incovenience. I also have 2 friends that play 360 and they have both had their systems breakdown as well. To be fair to MS they were all manufactured in 2005 so they are "launch" consoles. But those are out of MS warranty now so it could end up costing $140 for repairs and that is bogus.fanboy999

And your point is? Watchdog did not say the xbox 360 had a high enough defects to go beyond the alotted amount now did they?

Sony is behind this. I bet they own that show. :lol:

The 360s that are overheating are due to placement. You are dealing with a 3-cored 3.2ghz processor in a small confined box. It will overheat if you don't ventilate it, and also alot of lockups are due to plugging to many things into cheap surge protectors.

360 draws a lot of electricity and you need a decent power conditioning. As for the PS2 we all know how many first console had the read errors don't we ;)

I must be the luckiest person in the whole world. I am still on my first 360... Not 1 issue. I should start playing the lottery.

3%-5% remember that. Not 50%-80%. :lol:

And the PS3 never will break. :roll:

Woah!

Lot more replies than I thought, only expected about 5. But thanks to everyone that agrees that the 1 year old console needs to sort itself out. Its not even a launch console, Wii and PS3 are a few months old and there problems are not on such a large scale.

See, I too can make statements that has nothing to do with what I was talking about. Meaning, where did you get the impression that we were discussing the PS3, that I was defending it and implying it will never break?

If it is a small percentage... I would probably guess mostly user error.

Heh, i've had mine since launch without any problems. I've got around 100 friends on XBL as well, only 1 of which has had a faulty console.

Keep in mind they only say that they have 248 "complaints" about faulty 360's...think about how many 360's are out there (10 million+). The problematic consoles aren't very prominent in number.

This doesn't surprise me.Telekill

EDIT: And my gamertag is conantheleader, I have 4500 gamerscore. Dont accuse me of being a fanboy cause a fanboy would not play a console they dislike for so much.

MS admitted that their system was faulty, that's why they changed their warranty from 3 to 12 months. what sucks is that more than a year later, people are still experiencing problems. now that's ridiculous!flipknoc
