Microsoft ****

Microsoft Sucks...plain and simple. After 3+ years of owning an XBOX 360,I got the dreaded RROD. My console is out of warranty, Microsoft refuses to repair it unless I pay $100...screw that. I'll end up trying to fix it myself. I never overused the console, never kept it in a confined space, never left it dusty and dirty, etc. etc. I can now sympathize with everyone else who hasdealt with this. It was a valiant effort by Microsoft to extend the RROD warranty to 3 years, but really it wasn't enough to please their customers. It should've been a massive recall and until each and every RROD XBOX was fixed, the repair should be free. I find it funny how you XBOX fanboys can brag about this piece of trash and how great the sales are compared to the PS3. I guarantee you that a large percentage of XBOX sales are people like me who have had to or will buy 2 XBOX 360 consoles due to the RROD. Sure, some may still beunder waranty and get the free repair, others not covered will pay for the repair and/or buy a new one...so no more bragging please. Had Microsoft built a solid console from the beginning their sales would be about even or under the PS3s.

the solution to all your problems is simple PS3

It just does everything...

lol your claiming you even owned a 360? your claiming you had rrod, and your using the exact same argument that would apply to the ps3 as well since it has a 11% failure rate, that a good portion of purchases are rebuys.

Its not microsofts fault your unwilling to pay 100 dollars for a fix but are willing to make it so they will completely refuse to fix your system *if you try to fix it your self* or go buy a new one for even more money then what it would cost to get it repaired.

In the mean time, I'll sit and play my elite that got e74 and was fixed in a week and 2 days *and eventually free since e74 got covered under 3 year* and my nephew will continue to play my old pro launch system that still has yet to fail.

LOL thanks TC threads like this are like a fresh bale to the cows man.

Oh no worries there my friend....I have a PS3! The only reason I have a 360 is for the exclusive games otherwise I buy all multi-plats on PS3. And yes, it does do everything! An amazing system, no hardware problems, full backwards compatibility (I have an original 20GB, upgraded to 320GB), freedom with the hardrive, freedom to backup and restore data, and the funniest part is the streaming capability for music/movies on my Windows PC! Streaming works perfectly from my PC to PS3, but would never work with the 360..made by Microsoft....utterly pathetic!

23% yea right the GI is alot more reliable than the article that says 23% they only count one and a half years of the X360s life and is not the only warranty site there is.

btw why are you using GI's PS3 11% if you don't like GI ?

WilliamRLBaker

You must be a math wiz! 11% equals a good portion of rebuys....ok. Sure it's Microsofts fault. They should've recalled the systems. It may not be financially smart to spend $300 on a new one when I could get mine repaired for $200 less, but I've heard the horror stories of getting a "repaired" system back thats DOA. I don't wanna deal with that and it's my decision if I wanna buy a new one. Plenty of other people were in the same situation as I and also chose to buy a new system...that was my point. So don't bother trying to defend a faulty console made by a greedy company with crap customer service. And oh yea, it's only a matter of time before your old launch system fails.

why should he get anotherunreliable console because the company he trusted messed up ? he didn't break his 360 so he should not pay for another one = fact...microsoft should pay

I Feel sorry for you I been through 4 360 because of rrod, if MS just would ofsent a brand new 360 elite instead of some refurbish **** from there Texas repair center I wouldn't have that many rrod.

That reminds me I need to check if my warranty is still up.

No sympathy for you here. The warranty is 3 years and you've had it longer. When you open a new 360 there is a service plan for $50 you can send in for, it covers for 2 years any problems. I got that, it goes into effect after the 3 year warranty, so I'm covered 5 years for 50 bucks. When the warranty on your car goes do you pay for the mechanic to fix it or cry about GM?cainetao11

Sorry, but there was no $50 service plan with launch consoles and if there were I certainly wouldn't have been duped into buying it anyway. And because I've had it for more than 3 years and it broke I should be ok with that? Sorry, but my Nintendo from 1987 still works....if you think 3 years isa long shelf life for an expensive piece of electronics then you have problems. Yea, go ahead and compare cars and Xboxes, that's a good point to make on a video game website forum...

no the article says it was specifically the first 2 years not the recent years and the poll is correct it's just fact that one in every 3 X360 owners have gotten failure with the 360 you can't deny it.

Like I said before...without all the failures and repurchases the 360 would be in 3rd place so stop being an immature fanboy and bragging about a piece of trash. I know it's been said a billion times already, but do you ignorant Xbots forget that the360 had a 1 year head start on the PS3 yet you only lead by 7 million?? With the new PS3 price drop and great exclusives it's only a matter of time. In the coming years the 360 will be outdated and far, far behind the PS3 in sales..just wait and see.
