Does the 360s instores now have 3 red lights?

Does the 360s that's in stores now still have the 3 red lights problems or did ms fix that problem with them? or are they saving that for the elite?BeNOwNz

Everything breaks. Nothing is perfect.

Yes your 360 will break if you buy one. Nothing lasts forever. Everything and everyone dies. That's life.

If your worried, then by all means buy the extended warranty and rest at ease and relax while you game with 6 Million people on Xbox Live.

I understand that, but I was just trying to point out that it is highly unlikely it would last like 20 years.

lol

All electronics will succumb to death sooner or later regardless of how well you baby it. ;)

so its still not confirmed that all 360s are immune to the 3red lights yet right? i bet the elite will be...BeNOwNz

The elites are the same?? I heard they were built better and is immune to the red lights, i heard it runs fasters/less noise etc. awwwww

I'm on my 4th console. I keep my 360 on top of my dresser, completely ventilated all around.

Explain that with your reason and logic.....please

I'm not even trying to start an argument. It just pisses me off when you say its the consumers fault when a 360 breaks.

You sound just like the people from Microsoft.

I'm sorry if I came off the wrong way. :)

I agree, I started this thread because my 360 just died and i had it for less then a year and I do take care of it and yes they do sound like people from m$. No offense, freedom of speech..(this is the second time it died)

TC, whatever you do, don't listen to funkdaddy. he's lying. no matter how well you take care of your xbox, no matter how well ventilated it is, it will die on you. i cleaned mine every day, it was well ventilated and the power brick was placed no where near the xbox and it still got the 3 red lights when i pressed the power button. what surprised me most was the fact that it was working earlier in the day but crapped out at night after being off for a few hours. i've had the 360 for one year and it died, coincidently on april fools day. damn i was pissed (but laughing on the inside when i remembered it was april fools day.) it's the fault of ms for not having better quality control. but on the bright side, if it dies under a year, your covered by the warranty and they'll fix it for free.latinrage69

yeah but they should last longer that 6 months - 1 year like my last two did. and yes i took care of them, proper ventilation for the system and the brick. but they were older systems so im hoping brand new ones will last longer but even if it doesnt im gonna keep gettin it fixed or w/e bc i couldnt live w/out some xbox 360 lol

i read everything you posted and according to your posts, the only factor to contribute to a busted 360 is lack of maintaince. truth is yes there are defective 360's out there, probably more than ms is willing to admit to, but just because you don't clean it doesn't mean it'll die on you. i never cleaned my ps one, n64, or psp and they never gave my problems. i did however clean my xbox 1 and 360 and they both died. the xbox 1 had a faulty lens in the dvd drive and the 360's processor disconnected from the motherboard. and to be honest, that's the problem with the 360, the system heats up, over time the board tends to warp, if the warp is severe enough, the processor disconnects. that's why ms is now putting epoxy on the chip to hold it in place in case of a warp.

old motherboard (no epoxy)

new motherboard (note epoxy on cpu and gpu)

@TC, wait a while to buy a 360 or buy the elite. that way it'll be less likely that the console would fail.

Meh, I still have my launch 360, and it works just fine, the only red lightes I ever got was when the cable wasn't plugged in right.  I'ev droped the thing, cary it around in the back of my pickup, taken in on the bus in a backpack, and it still works just fine.  I keep in in my entertainment centre, right next to all the other heat throwing things there.  Only problem i ever had, was the drawer wasn't opening right once, found out I had broken the faceplate, replaced it and it worked fine.

I don't know what the hell people are doing to their 360s to make them fail that they claim they are.
