Not to bash or anything , but lets say hypothetically if you had to get a 3rd 360, because of breaking, would you be pissed and move to another more reliable console, and if so what 360 are you on and if you didnt buy another one did you move to the wii or ps3.

Hypotheticaly.

I'd be royally pissed if my 360 broke down for a 3rd time. After writing a very angry letter to MS, I'd probably go out and buy myself a PS3. The Wii isn't much more than acasual, family-friendly, crap-graphics, noob-system. And this is coming from a hardcore sheep. :D

I'm on my second, but it freezes in the Menu's recently.

I hate how many updates I have to do, and I'm worried it has something to do with that.

Mine started to crock about a month ago. So it lasted about 1-1/2 yrs. I just swapped it out for the same XBox 360 premium. The new one seems to be quieter and runs with no problems. If this one dies on me, I'll get an Elite. I already have a Wii. I won't get a PS3 until theprice drops under $400. I don't care how long it takes for that to happen. I'll still wait.

I am on my 2nd 360, and if it breaks down again past the warranty they give you Im going to just call them yelling at them until I get it repaired for free, if not im either going to take it to a electronics hardware specialty store and get them to fix it and improve it so it doesnt break again or if I cant find a place to do that I will just move to another console because paying another $168 just to get it fixed is complete BS. I can almost buy a Wii and a couple of games for the amount of money it costs to get it fixed twice.

Mine broke a while ago and I'm now on my second, the thing is it only broke because my sister yanked out the AV cable from the back of it (she almost pulled the whole console across the room lol) and it stoped displaying on screen.. So really i'd still be on my first 360 if my sister wasn't such a pain.. If only you could trade sisters in..

Great. Now you invited a bunch of blind lemmings to start cawing "I have mine since launch! It works perfect!" as if it proves anything. 360's are built like crap.

Im on my second one but I wasnt to mad when my first one broke since the tech support was very easy and fast. I didnt have to pay or anything either so overall it didnt bother me at all.

I got a launch console and it broke last August. I got some crappy refurbished one and it worked till about a few weeks ago. It's pretty damn ridiculous and I am can't get over how bad some of these consoles are made.

I love the 360, but I get frustrated over how it isn't so reliable for everyone and the fixing service is pretty bad. It is fast, but I don't want a damn refurbished console after paying $140 to fix it.

Its not trolling. Take a look at every thread mention a broken 360. THere is ALWAYS someone posting the 'I had mine since launch and it aint broke' take.

Research those threads and you'll see I'm right.

ANd just because someone says something you dont agree with doesnt make it trolling.

Me too. We only say that because you say every 360 owner has replaced their 360s. The majority dont. And something you should know, you can ask for a free game for the hassle (check the stickied thing on the xbox forum)

I say every 360 owner has replaced their 360s? When did I say 'every 360 owner has replaced their 360's'?Either you are making up stuff or just a little super sensitive when it comes to broken 360's.

My uncle is on his 3rd 360 I believe; the first one burnt out 2-3 weeks after he bought it, andthe second one screwed up when he hooked up that wireless steering wheel for the first time. He's had his third one for about 2 months and no problems so far.

Do you honestly think that would have an impact on how long the console lives?

I will gladly do so, because your arguments are asinine.

Ok, you DO THAT!

Whatever you do though, don't for the 'latter', because then THAT wouldn't make any sense.

Well, one of the compatability features they kept from the original XBOX was the scratching of discs. But the 3 rings of death overshadows that.

Hard to say but let say if i have built up a big collection of games it is harder to change system and must say that 360 have to many GOOD games that you cant miss. Guess i use warranty or buy a new one :)
