lol your claiming you even owned a 360? your claiming you had rrod, and your using the exact same argument that would apply to the ps3 as well since it has a 11% failure rate, that a good portion of purchases are rebuys.

Its not microsofts fault your unwilling to pay 100 dollars for a fix but are willing to make it so they will completely refuse to fix your system *if you try to fix it your self* or go buy a new one for even more money then what it would cost to get it repaired.

In the mean time, I'll sit and play my elite that got e74 and was fixed in a week and 2 days *and eventually free since e74 got covered under 3 year* and my nephew will continue to play my old pro launch system that still has yet to fail.

You must be a math wiz! 11% equals a good portion of rebuys....ok. Sure it's Microsofts fault. They should've recalled the systems. It may not be financially smart to spend $300 on a new one when I could get mine repaired for $200 less, but I've heard the horror stories of getting a "repaired" system back thats DOA. I don't wanna deal with that and it's my decision if I wanna buy a new one. Plenty of other people were in the same situation as I and also chose to buy a new system...that was my point. So don't bother trying to defend a faulty console made by a greedy company with crap customer service. And oh yea, it's only a matter of time before your old launch system fails.

Oh no worries there my friend....I have a PS3! The only reason I have a 360 is for the exclusive games otherwise I buy all multi-plats on PS3. And yes, it does do everything! An amazing system, no hardware problems, full backwards compatibility (I have an original 20GB, upgraded to 320GB), freedom with the hardrive, freedom to backup and restore data, and the funniest part is the streaming capability for music/movies on my Windows PC! Streaming works perfectly from my PC to PS3, but would never work with the 360..made by Microsoft....utterly pathetic!

Microsoft Sucks...plain and simple. After 3+ years of owning an XBOX 360,I got the dreaded RROD. My console is out of warranty, Microsoft refuses to repair it unless I pay $100...screw that. I'll end up trying to fix it myself. I never overused the console, never kept it in a confined space, never left it dusty and dirty, etc. etc. I can now sympathize with everyone else who hasdealt with this. It was a valiant effort by Microsoft to extend the RROD warranty to 3 years, but really it wasn't enough to please their customers. It should've been a massive recall and until each and every RROD XBOX was fixed, the repair should be free. I find it funny how you XBOX fanboys can brag about this piece of trash and how great the sales are compared to the PS3. I guarantee you that a large percentage of XBOX sales are people like me who have had to or will buy 2 XBOX 360 consoles due to the RROD. Sure, some may still beunder waranty and get the free repair, others not covered will pay for the repair and/or buy a new one...so no more bragging please. Had Microsoft built a solid console from the beginning their sales would be about even or under the PS3s.

If I decide to upgrade to the Elite, I would need the Hard Drive Transfer Kit, right? Can I still get one for free from Microsoft? I've dug through their site about this over and over and I can't find where it says "order kit" or "request kit". Do I need to call them to get one? Will I need to have purchased an Elite ahead of timeto provide old and new serial #'s before they'll send me a free kit?

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.

Well...it finally happened. After having my 360 since December of '05....if finally kicked the bucket. RIP. Can someone please give me a quick and easy answer. How do I get my 360 Arcade games and game save data back once I buy a new 360? Is it possible?

Sinep Rekcil sounds like a good name to me.

inFAMOUS got a 9.2 score and anoutstanding review from IGN....I can't wait for this game! It's gonna be awesome!

MLB 09 The Show does use it. If you play Road to the Show mode you can take a picture of your face and use that as your player face in the game.
