I was in Gamestop a few weeks ago and I noticed something, a husband and wife came in to figure out what to do with their broken 360, The manager insisted them on buying a new 360 when they had only got the machine less than a year before (i over heard the convo and wanted to but in because the manager was being a crook) But then I saw it again here, and as it probably was more a joke then anything the person said 360 might be selling more due to people having to buy a new console. Now I for one HAVE had to due it, I got the DRE after 2 years and MS wanted 200 bones to fix it, so I said what the heck I might as well buy a new one, now out of curiousity has anyone had to buy a new 360 due to being out of warranty and there old one breaking down?

MS has got to be joking about this new xbox360's with the new chipset, as a 360 owner, do i really want to shell out another $300 for another xbox360? I dont think so.

I want to, but not because my 360 is broken. I want the HDMI port and I want the black system with 120 gigs. I will do it evetually.

DRE try installing the game and see if you can play it. Also why is it $200. It should be no more than $100.

I bought a 2nd 360 because I wanted the bigger drive.

I figured with the extra controller as well it doesn't hurt to just get the whole elite rather than the drive. So now I have the old one as a second in the living room to play dvd's & stuff.

I've said the same thing since day 1. I have a friend that brought 3 of them, he said when he gets his house he wants one in every room. 2 of my friend brought a total of 5 for different reasons. I had one go up on me, so when I got it back I traded it in for a PS3, I'm not willing to deal with problem or buy another garbage system. I'm sure people are out there re-buying 360's.

Sure people will bring up the PS2, but the PS2 has been fixed and it still selling.

I dont think any system is worth the hassle, maybe if it was a random issue, but the 360 are not having random issues. It's a point where people will say F that and buy something else.

I've had the same 360 for almost a year and a half but I'm looking to upgrade to an elite soon. I don't have an hdmi port on my 360 and I'd like to have the larger harddrive to install all of my games.

Would you say people who bought the 40 gig ps3 were screwed bc they can't play ps2 games? It works both ways, PS3 and 360 both released multiple sku's this gen.

How do you expect them to fix a GENERAL hardware failure problem? Where pretty much ANY hardware failure will cause this error code to come up?

I had a premium and it RROD'ed on me once. I had a PRP and got a new one the next day. I upgraded to an Elite system and sold my old 20 gig although I contemplated on keeping it for my den.

I had to buy a new arcade system when my first 360 stated giving out. It was out of warranty on both the RROD and basic repair, so I upgraded to a new one, and sold it before it completely pooped on me. Didn't really want to get a new one, but oh well.

DRE try installing the game and see if you can play it. Also why is it $200. It should be no more than $100.

Thats what they wanted from me. It was back last april, it might have changed now, but I was like WTH.

My motherboard fried in August of last year, they said they wanted $150 to fix it, so i said no, put the thing on Ebay, and got myself a PS3 shortly after. Im glad I didnt get another 360, If Jasper proves reliable (which all signs are good)I will get another 360, but reluctantly.

After my 360 died, twice, I swore I wouldn't buy one again! I'm not rewarding Microsoft for selling a shoddy product by buying another one... Should just keep sending the old one in and hopefully the repair bills start racking up and hitting MS where it hurts!

I bought an extra one, brand new, to use if the RRoD struck my first one...

My first 360 died. I returned it at the store. A few months later I bought another one that died so I bought another one then a while later I sent the first one to MS to get repaired so now I have 2 working 360s. And both of them have the DRE (MS sent me a refurbished one with a DRE to replace the RROD one) so I am extremly happy that I can now install the games onto my hard drive. No more DREs.
