what a S***ty day for me. I called MS earlier today to deal with an XBL issue, i had to cancel my xbl account to reactivate it with a game card. but i couldn't find my old credit card which had expired, i prolly threw it away. so they couldn't help me cancel my account...

about 8 hours later, i turn on my xbox and get the 3 red blinking rings. 7 days b4 masseffect, 2 b4 AC.

i gotta send them my f***ing xbox tomorrow. and wait, what? 3 weeks? 4?...... SF lame day

so yea.....MS hates me, or maybe god.......prolly both.

EDIT-

do they ship back 360's with falcon chip in them now? whats the deal with that? also this is my first 360, got it august 2006 and i thought i was one of the lucky ones.

I'd be more worried about missing Rock Band.

At least it'll be fixed for free, as little comfort as that is.

Sorry man. Hope MS learns from this for next generation though.

I'm hesitant to believe anyone on this issue because of fanboys on these forums. I've had mine since launch and have had not a problem. Retailers estimate that the defective rate for the 360 is at about 20-25%. Which is already high but at least they're fixed for free.

Call MS, send it in (takes about 5 days for the box to get there i believe), wait 2-3 weeks and it's back.

Again, if it's true then, well, at least it's fixed for free. Just be happy you don't have to pay to get it fixed. My PS2 got the Disc Read error on me and wouldn't read any games. I ended up paying $100 to get it fixed despite the fact that numerous people and reports were pointing out problems with this.

Guys I am warning you. If M$ dominates the Gaming market, we will for sure get products like the 360 all the time. Their products aren't different from each other. I am a developer on their platforms and they always release their products early and then "patch" it with service packs..etc. the xbox 360 isn't designed well, period and the 65nm chips aren't likely to solve their problems. I am not against M$ competing with Sony because competition is the consumers biggest friend, but I definitely don't want them to dominate the market. Trust me! this is coming from a guy who writes programs on their plateforms!!

I'm almost there with you man, eversince I got Call of Duty 4 yesterday, my 360 has been in such a mess, I think my disc drive is just about done. I hope it's not my 360 and it's the game, that's why I'm going to trade it it for Assassin's Creed this weekend and see if things improve if not, to hell with it,I'll geta PS3.
