All 360's suffer a "design flaw".

That is really bad for MS. On top of spending a billion to cover the warranties, it looks like it's back to the drawing book when correcting this error. No wonder there was no price drop on the consoles. Who would buy a 360 that could potentially break at any point? They really need to get this problem fixed ASAP.

Mine hasn't broke.

I think PCWii60 is the best combo this gen.

another topic. with the same link and source i have never heard of. seriously they just spun that there own way. ms never came out and said this.xbox360isgr8t

Come on! Isn't the new 3 year warranty evidence enough?!? Unless you can give me another reason they would spend a billion dollars to make this happen. Oh wait I can, to avoid being sued!

ive just got rid of my 3rd 360 that died on me. i know 2other people who's 360's broke aswell, absolutely disgraceful if you ask me.Will never buy another microsoft console, ever. Ps3 for me at xmas im afraid. I did quite enjoy my time with 360 but as im use to high end pc gaming it was hardly new or anything. ps3 and pc combo seems the best at the moment in terms of variation in games.jt8b2z

Throw in a Wii and you have it all.

At least that's what I have. :P

I know but you can easily INFER that. But please let your lem logic tell me why MS extended the warranty.

My 360 is the best console ever made, in all the history of video games. Its freaking sweet!.

It just awesome. I think I love it.

Buy a 360! It's the best next-gen console (or every video game system of all time!) and mine's never broken down!bloodbore8

Ok good way to avoid my question, but you still come off as an idiot. Look the article says 360 suffers a design flaw and Microsoft put a billion into the 3 year warranty. Can you not put two and two together? Hell I'll do it for you, because the 360 suffers a design flaw MS is forced to extend the warranty by 3 years. I think the article points that out very clearly.

are you gonna wait till they fix it then?bobaban

yup

So what? You are treating this like news....its obvious there is/was a design flaw. I posted extensively about this weeks ago. So what? A design flaw does not mean all units will fail. Just like when your car is recalled because there is a design flaw in the power steering unit so that when you turn hard left over a bump it could fail...that doesn't mean that all cars with that power steering will fail.......get it?

More importantly, there is now a 3 year warranty...that is huge. The only issue now is POSSIBLE inconvenience for a few weeks.

And clearly they have 'solved' the problem.....which is why they did this now. The 65nm units are in production and will hit retail this fall. Clearly they have thoroughly tested these units....otherwise it would be insane to offer an openended 3 yr warranty. And as has already been established, newly repaired/refurb units are now coming with better cooling.

The upshot is that all existing owners are protected for 3 years. All new owners won't have the problem come the fall. And if the better cooling 'fails' as a fix....then the worst that happens is that you have to send it in one more time (or once total) and get a new 65nm unit....since it will be far more prudent for MS to replace with a new cheaper 65 nm unit than continue to refurb old units, once the 65nm is available in quantity.

Now that I have a 3 year warranty and know that the 65nm is already in production, I no longer have any concerns. But if youare paranoid, wait till the fall and get a 65nm unit.

But, hey, thanks for telling me something I already know. When you calm down and stop waving your fanboy arms around and think about, you'll figure out that yer a week late and a hue and cry short.

Er, the number of 360's you've had break down seems to change a lot... You've been bashing the 360 since before it came out! Why the hell would you even have one?
