I want to get a 360 soon but i'm always hearing about breakdown a repairs , what is the 360 problem that so many people have to send in to repair, and are the recent 360 or the older that are always having this problems??? Thanks
most of the problems are people getting 3 red lights which i just got this morning and that means that something internal is broken or loose connection or something but its nothing magor just send it to microsoft and problem solved.
Just like any electronic there is always a chance of it breaking, new or old. Do the old 360's have a better chance of breaking? Yes. You shouldn't really worry since the system comes with a 1 year warranty now. If it does happen to break you just mail it in and get it fixed.

It's usually the older models. i.e. the ones in the initial manufacturing batch. The most common problem seems to be overheating but as long as you don't play your 360 for 10 hours straight infront of gas oven and keep it in a well ventilated place it shouldn't be a problem. My 360 broke a week or 2 ago actually. Wasn't due to overheating but it was in the original manufacturing batch so I just put it down to that. Got it fixed no problem and they had it about to me about a week later.
I wouldn't worry much about it breaking though. The problem is that you don't hear about all the 100,000`s that work prefectly. Just the odd ones that don't. There was a thread on here a few weeks ago about a guy that smashed his 360 to pieces and it still worked.
Yeah, my 360 (which is one of the launch systems I got back on launch day) just broke a few weeks ago. I sent it into Microsoft and I'm just waiting to get it back now.
yeah..my launch unit died on Jan 1 (red lights of doom). no problems up until that point. I bought a core unit and used parts from my premium. I couldnt wait to play lost planet so I had to buy it. still need to send in my first one to be fixed.
will microsoft fix the launch units even if the warranty is up? the launch units only came w/ a 90 day.

I thought it was a 90 day. but it doesnt matter in my case because it was over a year. will they still repair for free? will I have to send them my harddrive as well? I hope not.
