Third Xbox 360 to take a shit on me

[Al Bundy]

Man i'm fucking heated. I just got Forza 2 and the pelican intercooler and now the DVD drive has stopped working. Oh well, I still got my old xbox and street fighter so I guess i'll be alright till that bitch comes back.

[MIC]

Still on my first. 16 months and doing fine. Freezes only on EA games. Cheap fucks must press their DVDs in some lousy factory. 

[ToOoOoN!!!]

Man. My 360 hasn't been fixed yet it's been over 7 months. These idiots were suppose to send a box for me to put it in and the box hasn't come yet. It's been like 2 months and they said they're gonna send another one, and it's still hasn't come yet. Fuck Microsoft.

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

PS3 boys, PS3.

I'm not buying one for at least another year though, so I think I'm going to buy a cheap regular xbox off my dad's friend, any recommendations for games, I'm determined though to find Circus Maximus thats the funnest game Ive ever played for a console.

[Ðøšïå]

why would we get a ps3? it has less games than the xbox and by 08 it will for sure have less games than the box. maybe in 09 i will think about it.

[ToOoOoN!!!]

ps3 need a price drop

[MIC]

ps3 need a price drop

and more games, preferably games that haven't been released on other platforms six months earlier

[Sparegeez]

If my box doesn't come today. I'm calling those motherfuckers and getting my refund.

[Smoke Break]

My launch 360 is still alive and kicking, but it looks like Microsoft is finally doing something for all their bullshit.


Open Letter From Peter Moore

To our Xbox Community:

You've spoken, and we’ve heard you. Good service and a good customer experience are areas of the business that we care deeply about. And frankly, we've not been doing a good enough job.   

Some of you have expressed frustration with the customer experiences you have had with Xbox 360; frustration with having to return your console for service after receiving the general hardware error message on the console.

The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consoles have had a terrific experience from their first day, and continue to, day in and day out. But when anyone questions the reliability of our product, or our commitment to our customers, it's something I take very seriously.

We have been following this issue closely, and with on-going testing have identified several factors that can cause a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights on the console. To address this issue, and as part of our ongoing work, we have already made certain improvements to the console.

We are also implementing some important policy changes intended to keep you in the game, worry-free.

As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced warranty program to address specifically the general hardware failures indicated by the three flashing red lights on the console. This applies to new and previously-sold consoles. While we will still have a general one year console warranty (two years in some countries), we are announcing  today a three-year warranty that covers any console that displays a three flashing red lights error message. If a customer has an issue indicated by the three flashing red lights, Microsoft will repair the console free of charge—including shipping—for three years from the console’s purchase date. We will also retroactively reimburse any of you who paid for repairs related to problems indicated by this error message in the past. In doing so, Microsoft stands behind its products and takes responsibility to ensure that every Xbox 360 console owner continues to have a fantastic gaming experience.

If we have let any of you down in the experience you have had with your Xbox 360, we sincerely apologize. We are taking responsibility and are making these changes to ensure that every Xbox 360 owner continues to have a great experience. 

This will take a few days to roll out globally, and I appreciate your continued patience as we launch this program. I've posted an FAQ that should address some additional questions, and we'll update it over the next few days.

I want to thank you, on behalf of all us at Microsoft, for your loyalty.

^^^I appreciate the news but I don't think that will help me at all. My 360 can't read any disks, it has nothing to do with red flashlighting.

lol well i dont own either but i think the reason to buy a ps3 over a 360 is that the ps3 works.
