Please sticky this thread asap, by the way you only have 90 days warrenty, after that, I think you'll have to pay a small amount of fees to repaire your xbox 360.masterchief2371

Since yesterday I am now on my 3rd Xbox360.  I purchased the core system at launch (Manufacture date of December 2005) which crapped out last Sunday.  I had purchased the 1 year warrantee from EB who gladly replaced it with a new Xbox360 (Manufacture date of April 2006).  Only 4 days later I get the red rings again on the new console - I troubleshoot with no success.  Returned that one lastnight for another new Xbox360 with a manufature date of May 2006.  When talking to the manager from EB he said that the past month has been littered with Xbox360 returns.  Xbox360 is a fun system but it should be quite apparent from not only my experience but many people in the gaming community that Microsoft needs to do a recall.  Nothing wrong with having manufacturing problems - many companies have had them... but they deal with it.  Microsoft is choosing to ignore the problem at hand and even worse charging their loyal customers $127 (Canadian) to fix a console that was destined to break from the get go.

Just my two cents... but I have earned each penny.

And why do i have 1 year warranty

My console is broke and Microsoft's number is busy....

I tried opening, to fix it...and I was drinking a soda while I was removing the DVD-ROM drive and I spilled it all over the Motherboard. I plugged in the console and it sparked and caught fire.

I try Microsoft again.....busy

I finally hang up and put out the fire. I try once again to fix the console and find that there was a fortune cookie lying inside. I break it open and read the message and it says, "Better luck next time"   - Lucky Numbers : 3, 6, 12, 23, 39, 43

I will agree....to an extent. All I can say is when your PS3 breaks down because you get one of the 10%+ that are going to be faulty dont come crying to us:) Cause we will just tell you to take them to small claims court :lol:
At a certain percentage a company will have to do a recall, MS hasnt reached that percentage yet, and hopefully it wont. Everyone seems to forget the PS2 fiasco it had more flaws in the begining than the 360 does. MS will take care of it...hopefully, and if they dont...Then we will get paid off in a class action lawsuit against them.....God I love America:roll:

[QUOTE="themtman"]im on my 6th 360JoelWhy

My 360 after a month or so maybe less froze periodically, recently lrecently since prchasing Saints Row it began to freeze after playing about 6hrs of the game everytime I went to load my gameit would load then freeze, then I started a new game  played a couple hours in that with no problem, then I went to load a game and it froze again and when I went to reboot It froze after 2 secs before leaving the white xbox menu. Then I tried Madden 07, a game that froze one time since I had and I played it a lot, then as soon as the game was on it froze as soon as I went to play. I took off my HD put in saints row and played for like 30mins didntfreeze I don't know what to do or think. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated??
