Got it 2 days ago. No problems whatsoever exept the fact that the console box had crushed a copy of Gears of War ( I eventually got a replacement ) which was in the same delivery box. I have to say whoever designed the controller deserves a raise for the next decade.

I got my Xbox 360 in December of 2006 and I've only experienced freezing issues. I don't know what causes this, but I'll find out.

Got mine for X-mas and have had freezing problems, as well as a few red rings of death. Only froze on me a few times but have gotten the red ring when booting up the system at least ten times already. Mostly have to just turn it off, wait a few secs. and turn back on but still gives you a heart murmur every time it happens. Do I regret the purchase ( well I didn't pay for it so can't regret it ) no, Gears of War is that damn good but I can say that since my Wii purchase it has not froze or misfired upon boot- up a single time so far and I bought it on Wii launch Nov. 19. Not too worried as I took the 360 receipt back to the store and bought an extended warranty on Boxing Day ( that's Dec. 26 to all you non-Canadians) so if it craps out I'll get a new one- and I fully expect that to be the case eventually but it will be a hassle. Quality of hardware is definately not top-tier with M$ but if your system isn't a dud, you'll be pleased with the purchase.

I Have had 360 since day 1 and I have had ZERO problems! No freezing, no overheating, nothing! And yes I play my 360 everyday and sometimes many many hours.

I've had mine for a month. When I play Gears of War, I've received a few "bad disk" messages, but otherwise it's been fine. A bit noisy, but fine.

What kind of freezing problems are you experiencing? Is it just a temporary pause and then the game resumes? Or do you have to restart everything?

I got mine the day after Christmas. Recently I have had a few freezing issues but it's usually only when I'm online so maybe it has something to do with my connection but I'm not positive. I haven't gotten any red rings though so that's good

I bought mine right before christmas and have had a few minor issues. Maybe four or five times I've heard the DVD drive start chirping as it reads. Of those few times I saw the "bad disk" message pop up twice.

Is this a bad sign? I bought the extended warranty from Best Buy so should I take it back before it destroys any games?

I've had it since launch and it broke two times, then MS finally sent me a newer console about six months ago. This newer one runs like a charm, it's only frozen on my twice and that was like a freak accident of me trying to go into an option at the same time as my crappy modem crashed and it'd lose internet. Plus I got the new quiter DVD drive which is half as loud as the original.

got mine about 2 weeks ago, and it works fine. i dont regret it because i didnt pay for it. i wasnt planning on getting one since i already bought a ps3 and my neighbor has a 360, but my grandpa came to visit and got it for me as a late birthday gift. it's awesome and i'm playing it a lot more than my ps3, because of the ps3's current lack of good games.

Got mine in the latter half of January, working mighty fine! I occasionally had a freeze or two but nothing that made an impact. I have to say that buying a 360 may be the best decision I've done this year. :wink:

Got mine Jan. I have only had some freezing issues, but mostly while playing RSV so i think the game might be the problem. Have done many all nighters with no problems.  My xbox live went BOOM once but that was kind of a freak accident kind of thing.

 P.S. I have no gripe with the D-Pad so I dont know what the other peeps are talking about.
