If you get rrod during the 4th yr, would you be willing to paid MS to fix it?

Right now, there is the 3 yr warranty coverage for RROD. What happen if it happens in the 4th yr. You use it for 3 yr, no problem and then one day (out of the blue) on the 4th yr, you get a rrod just like that.

Just curious... DISCUSS

I don't have an XBox 360 and don't plan on getting one, unless Banjo Kazooie 3 is as awesome as the first two.

If I did, however, then it would all depend on how much the new XBox 360 costs, if I still want to play it, and if the XBox has backwards compatability and I plan on buying it. I mean, there are a lot of changes in four years, so I would have to know a thing or two about the future first.

But probably, especially if I have a lot of games on it.

plenty of time before that happens. depending on when MS fixes the RROD, maybe they will extend the warranty.

What will you do if the PS3 breaks down after one year? The same rules apply.heretrix

Not really. The ps3 is a very solid console. If you have to send your ps3 in for repair ist probably your fault.

If you want people to answer that question, maybe you should create a separate topic on it. If you don't want to answer this question, then why bother posting.

if i get rrod within the next three years ill trade in the one i get towards m$'s next console which should be comming out by that timelinkin_guy109

But the question ask, what if it is within the 4th yr.

Maybe. But extending the warranty is a good thing but really, it points to an admission of guilt.

I had to pay $90 to fix my PS2 on two separate occasions so I would not have too big a problem forking over some money to keep my 360 running.

I eventually went through 3 PS2s over the course of six years so It's looking like I will go through two 360s in the same amount of time.

I guess I'm just a sucker and put games ahead of common sense. What can I say I'm an addict.

If they fix the RROD, they will probably extend the warranty for old 360. It woundn't be right if after the 3 year they pushed all the people with old 360 under the bus.

Tough break. I had my ps2 for 6 years, and never had a problem that wasn't my fault.

This is why I didn't purchase it. I don't want to put up with these uncertainties. If it breaks down in years 1-3, can you imagine what years 4-5 will look like after heavy gameplay?

Awful. Just awful.

The problem with this thread is it isn't thought out well at all. it's just another attempt the bash the 360's RROD. If your 360 lasts for 4 years, you've had a pretty good run. A much better run than some people had with their Playstations in the last 2 gens. the fact that the PS3 is a spectacular piece of kit means nothing.

So if you think this thread is stupid why post. Its a legidamite question. No one is trying to bash the xbox 360. And stop crying about people bashing the 360 its system wars.

Why in the world did he put the word "Discuss" in the post if that's not what he wanted to do? I never called this thread stupid and I answered his question. You said it yourself "It's system wars" Well, what do most people do in SW? They bash systems and they debate. Some are better at it than others. Deal with it.

I have 1 xbox and am still using it to this day. My wife just used it yesterday night. And I buy another used xbox from a coworker last year. Both works fine without warranty. 360s just don't have that kind of assurance.

The Topic was created cause I was curious if people are willing to pay after the 3 yr. Just wondering if people mind paying know what they know.

Wow this Tc creates 4-5 topics about the rrod a night. Get over it. MS will have that problem fixed before the 3 year warranty is up.

I hope you are right cause I plan on getting it when the jabar or 65nm GPU comes out.

Let me clarify my position here. I think the 360 hardware situation is abysmal..But lets be honest and stick to the topic, If you bought anything that you use on a normal basis 4 years ago, and it broke and was no longer under warranty, wouldn't you just replace it?

hell no

sell it on ebay

no, you're pretty lucky...i take REALLY good care of my stuff, and the only console i've ever had that lasted more than 4 was my PS1. a launch console, at that!

I would even be willing to get me another one. An elite would be nice. I've started to need the space.

There are too many variables. But yes, most likely. Unless the repair cost is too close to the cost of buying a new one.

Or if the Next Xbox is close to be released.

Either way, another MS product would be bought.

That is a very naive statement. Everything that comes off an assembly line has some defect. The industry average for home electronics is around 5% I believe.

No manufacturer reports their failure rate. Sony's is most likely closer to 5%.
