I love my 360, great games, best online service and I think the controls suit me perfectly. I think I have a right to defend the console despite its huge technical failure rate (which *touch wood* hasnt effected me as of yet )
The Official "My Xbox 360 just Died" Thread
- Thread starter The Flying Potato
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Nearly stunning news today, initially despite last nights red ring of death, the machine fired up, and Pro Evo looked on again. Sadly it crashed again as the teams were about to get under way. No red rings still, but definately fecked
Problem is AFAIK that it's only the RROD that is covered by the extended warranty, not other things.
That's true. But if you sent it off to them would they really send it back still broken with a note saying "Yes your machine is fecked, but it's not the right sort of fecked"?
Maybe they would!
Why is the 60GB version almost twice the price?
60GB version has backwards compatability with PS2 games, 80GB doesn't, 60GB version has card readers, 80GB doesn't.
Is there anything else?
This happend to me, you will find it works for a few minutes for 1 maybe two days then you get the full RROD and it won't work at all. It's just a matterof time.
SACD support, 2 extra USB slots, card readers, PS2 BC.
It's the latter I think that makes it cost that much. You can buy a card reader or a USB hub for less than a fiver.
They'd most likely send you a bill for repairs.
In contrast to most people here, I'm quite fond of my xbox. Bought a VGA cable thingy off eBay today too, so I can play it HD on my monitor.

Refreshing words, just proves that not everyone out there represents the Caf's PS3 fanboy tendencies
I'd like you to list these PS3 fanboys that you talk about. There is probably only one of them. The XB360 fanboys are far more visible here.
It'll get fixed for free...
Thats strange, double the price just for backwards compatibility?
Double the price because they hardly exist as new anymore. As I said, yes some people are that desperate for BC.
It's a supply and demand situation going on here, a little bit like Wii was more expensive than PS3 last Christmas in many places.

That and the fact that it is very rare now as it got taken out of production.
aah I see, didn't realise they were out of production. What exactly is the reason for taking that feature out?
I still have to care enough to actually get it sent to them, and then be around when it's delivered back.
Probably wont happen unless I run out of alternative DVD players
It's reached that hour in the night I like to refer to as 'Pro Evo time'
Cut costs.
Its around Fifa time for me, although last few days its been bitten into playing NCAA American College Football).
Chin up Brad, send it off ASAP then it with come back faster. In that week do some exercise, go for walks, then when its back you can lock yourself in a dark room with a bright screen. Like im waiting to do, but my PS3 is passing the time..

So if I did want to send mine off for repair, do I just stuff it in a parcel and send it somewhere, then wait for it to come back, or what?
You have to phone Microsoft and talk to some nice Indian lady first Noodle.
feck sake
Thing is, if I get a PS3, then everytime I fancy playing a game, I have to go out and buy it all over again.
but I'm too fecked off with the general shittyness of the XBox to actually want it fixed.

Yes, stuff it in a box and they'll send UPS round to pick it up.
It takes about 3 weeks.
Well, you just start with new games. The older ones you should be able to pick up very cheap in any case. No Halo though.
That still involves me needing to take time off work, or getting someone to sit in though.
I mean, isn't there some law against selling equipment which is proven to be faulty before purchase?
Can't I just get a full refund instead?
Phone up a solicitor on Tuesday.
My phone is also broken
Phone box at the end of the street?
Loops has been putting the hours in this week I see...
There isn't one.
I'll be at work on Tuesday morning. My home phone is fine, but my mobile has stopped letting me hear what people are saying when I attempt to make or receive calls, and my work phone makes a loud screaching noise whenever I dial out to an external number, but the phone guy wont fix it or let me have a new one, because it's not broken enough.
It's fun being me.
Got my 360 back from repair the other day due to the red ring of death... Its the second time this has happened!!!
Apparantly both my motherboard AND dvd drive were fecked!
Am contemplating selling it now and putting the money 2wards uni.

Get UPS to pick it up from you at work. Not hard.
I bought a VGA Cable and some cheapo speakers so i can have 360 LANs with my mates. Also helpful for the regular LAN as i can ha ve both my computer and xbox there so when people play games i dont like i just fire up some Fifa or GTA.
I swear i am not a geek.
Seems we can add Kaos to the list now
mine just died after three weeks. played on it about 5 hours combined...
I have mine over two years now, never had any hassle.
I just got my XBOX360 Pro for Christmas. Am I screwed?
Possibly. 
Mine died before Christmas (RIP). Bought a PS3, haven't looked back since.
