well my xbox 360 broke FOR NO FING REASON!!!! i was playing guitar hero 2 for about 30 min and it wouldnt save anything. I restart the console and i get 3 red lights. Then i get system failures. My 360 is 5 months old and i didn;t play it for 4 months cuz i got bored of it. It destroyed my Oblivion disk which i somehow returned. I might not even buy halo 3 if things like this happen.

k?

 

Let it cool off.

 

Something may not be connected all the way.

 

I got red lights because my HDD wasn't in all the way, clicked it in and TA-DA!

 

I'm sure it's fine.

 

But honestly, I don't think anyone here really cares.

 

Now that I think about it, neither do I.

 

I'm gunna go back to playing my 2 working 360's :]

The 360 is a damn fine gaming machine...but it's hardware is garbage.  And that's why I won't get one.  I want a system to live atleast 5 years...360s arn't making it more than a few months.  Even the PS2 wasn't this bad when it launched.  The 360 breaking problem is so widespread that I'm certain that atleast 60% of the 360s break within their first year.

Well I had an extended warranty, but I thought nowadays MS themselves extended their own out of the box warranty to a full year. If that's the case you'll need your receipt and the box/manuals it came with.

3 Options:

1) Get it fixed. Get a warranty.

2) Get a PS3.

3) Get a Wii.

Whining about it won't help you. And you're proving nothing new: I'm pretty sure everyone knows the hardware is unreliable.

Damn man, I'm sorry to hear that.  Mine is only a month old and I'm scared to death of the three red lights.  I didnt get the extended warranty on my 360.  (should have)  But I have also heard of people who have had thiers since launch with no problems.

Actually the stats are that 3-5% of consoles are returned due to hardware problems.

maybe you dont carte but other owners or potential owners should at least be aware, and MS needs to hear more people so they can fix it. cus they obviously havent heard enough cus they are using the same hardware for the ELITE, doesnt sound so l337 to me.

I hope you don't buy it, we don't want you anyways.

 

Seriously, I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope posting here somehow made you feel better (why? how?).

With all the rumors flying out there, gamers are going to equate the slightest oddity in noise to impending failure.

I know I always wince when I hear a sound that's slightly different than what I'm used to hearing coming from my Xbox360.

Of course, with an extended warranty, you can breathe much easier. :D
