My brothers,I'm so fed up with MS and xbox360! I just don't know what to do.Help

Guys, I just can't tell you how truly pissed I am right now. A few months ago I had to send in my xbox360 to get replaced because of the 3 rings of death and 6 months before that I had to do the exact samething. The current system I have right now which is my third, has been acting really odd the past few days. I haven't been getting the 3 rings of death but the system has been freezing on me while playing games.

Today I finally called customer support and they had me do all the trouble shooting steps. After completing all those steps they came to the conclusion that my system is broken and in need of repair. I almost hit the roof when the told me! Not only is this the third system that has died on me, now I have to wait another 3-4 weeks to get a repaired one back!! I don't know what to do...I'm just sooo pissed!

I LOVE my xbox360 to death but I just can't keep going through all this crap. It's insane! Never in my life have I owned such a faulty piece of electronic equipment. I never thought I would say this but I really feel forced into a corner, and feel that I need to sell my xbox360 when I get it back, and either go with a Wii or PS3. I truly feel I have no other choice.

Before all this happened, I really had no desire to get a PS3 other than maybe for a blue ray player and had zero desire for a Wii. However, I feel I have no other choice. I'm just so pissed and sad in MS becauae I love my xbox360 but it was just sooo poorly put together and has just to many problems. I just don't have the time or energy anymore to deal with all of this. Any of you guys have any suggestions on what I should do? Please no fanboy crap!

Honestly, in your position, I would get a Wii ( no fanboyin) since it has a better library than the PS3 currently and has a way smaller chance of breaking. Plus, you wouldn't feel guilty having 2 systems since the Wii is a good secondary console to pass the time and Smash Brawl is coming out soon. However, the PS3 does share some 360 games you might like, and has the Blu-Ray, but the PS3 is $400, and a $60 game to buy with it.....I wouldn't do it. Other than that, wait a month......DaLegendKilla92

I'm just so fed up. I may just sell my xbox360 when I get it back and not get another system until the next xbox comes out. Maybe by then it will be built better. I'm just so frustrated right now.

get a wii to tide you over while your 360 is gone (repeatedly). i guess you just have bad luck. the wii is a great secondary system though, much better and more worth the investment than a ps3 which has many of the same games as the 360.TarzanTheMan

I have bad luck? lol. Are you kidding me? Eveyone that I personally know has had to send there system in at least once. I just dont understand how MS can feel good about selling us this system when they know there are problems with it. Pisses me off!

The next Xbox probably won't come out for a while. When did you get your 360?Zach68486

I got my first one when they first launched....very first night. That one lasted about a year. The next one last about 3 months. The one I have now has lasted about 2-3 months and now I have to send it in. This is just nuts. How can MS get away with doing this to customers? There has got to be some law or government agency that over looks these types of things.

Thanks for the advice but I dont really want the Wii...I can't see myself playing it all the much. To be honest I don't really want the PS3 as well. The only real system that I have interest in is the xbox360. However, its built like a piece of crap. I really have no other choice. I just dont have it in me anymore to deal with all of this crap every other month.

The PS3 is the superior of the two consoles. Not flaming, but speaking from experience. I just battled with the idea of trading in my 360 (i was ready to do it today) but decided that it just wasn't worth it. (Also, Lost Odyssey kept me on board). If you can afford it, get all 3 systems. If you can't, either stick it out with the 360 or sell it and pick up a PS3 or a Wii. I recommend both with every fiber of my being :)

On a side note, I'm on 360 #4, which is absolutely rediculous. Every console has been brand new, and each has had problems, save this last one. 4 consoles in 1 year is unacceptable. There are NO excuses that can justify it. I take better care of my systems than anyone else, the problem is the hardware. Anyone who insinuates otherwise is illinformed. If it weren't for a few exclusives and a rediculously low trade in value thanks to terrible hardware, it would have been gone long ago.

thats nuts, 3 xbox 360s is insane, where do your keep it in your house? Make sure all the vents get plenty of air. and dont play more than 8 hours at a time. if you and your brother share the system you could be overheating it alot; if your both serous gamers.Rynair9

Its in the open and gets plent of air. But dude, come on What the heck did we all pay 399 bones for? For a system that we have to walk on egg shells around? This is nuts. If you look at the system the wrong way, it breaks. If you breath wrong, its breaks. If you don't give it a hug and kiss every night, it breaks. How come this doesn't happen with any of my other electronic equipment? This is not ethical or right on MS's part!

I have a PC, PSP, and DS in addition to that, but I'm no hermit! :) The trick is to only buy the best games for each :D But yeah, the 360 has fallen to the bottom of my list of next-gen console loves. It only took having a PS3 for a month to change my mind about it :) Might as well stick it out with the 360 though if you don't play many games, as it's almost worthless to trade it in.

That's either a miracle or impossible. I'm sure 4 of them or more (33%) have had theirs fail, but can't admit it due to hardcore fanboyism (jk (but seriously, not jk)). Approximately 60% of the people I know who has had a 360 has had at least one failure, and that's from a pool of roughly 30 people.

If it works, gamestop only gives 150 bucks for a premium w/hdd and controller (and cables). You could maybe get 200-250 online, but that's a hassle imo.

I got sick after returning my xbo360 twice. My suggestion, If you love your xbox360 to death, you can waste money like I did and trade it in for a xbox 360 with the new falcon chip. Much much cooler with less noise and lower power consumption.

But like Staryoshi said, try to get all 3 systems if you can.

Same here. What my question is, how can MS get away with this? Isn't there a law that protect we the people? Its not right or ethica. Why isnt the government going after them?

Sorry, its out of the quetion. I dont really want the other ones. I want the xbox360! I just don't know if I can deal with this anymore. 3 systems of died on me. 3! Thats nuts!

Damn buddy I dont know what to tell you , i got mine in nov.06 and it works perfectly still , sometimes froze but that's it though.If I was you I'd sell and buy myself a PS3 which i think got really good games coming out , but that's up to you.

The xbox 360 is the most poorly designed piece of hardware ever conceived then actually released to the public...

Microsoft stands behind the xbox and has the gaul to call it a quality system regardless of the 2,000,000 + broken consoles sitting in their repair facilities.

As a Xbox 360 owner you have to become accustomed to poor customer service and the consoles constantly breaking and making loud noises and scratching discs.

BTW, I'm on my 7th console....

Im on my second xbox 360, Ive been threw 3 PS2's, I know someone whos on there like 4th Xbox 360, If mine ever breaks I have my wii which is at my girlfriends, because I dont play it, only when a good somthing comes out for it!

If it breaks again I hope the Ps3 has some games out by then so I might get one! But on the other hand I love XBOX LIVE !!

I say just sell the 360 and get a Wii

Wii is more casual and I guess would help make gaming less worrisome (prob not a word). but if you REALLY dont like Wii games, your two options are to either just suffer through another 360 and perhaps get lucky or just sell it and go PC gaming!!

whatever choice you make, I wish you luck my friend

Ask yourself the following questions: 1. Can I continue to cope with this MS hardware BS? 2. What games do I actually want for the 360? (released or to be released) If your answer to #1 is no, then go elsewhere. If your answer to #2 is a very short list, examine the games coming out (or already released) for other systems that make you go "hey, that looks cool" and decide if it's worth it to change teams :)Staryoshi87

The thing that makes me really really really love my xbox is xboxlive. Thats why i'm not all that interested in the PS3 or the Wii.

@staryoshi, maybe it's a miracle or maybe they don't admit it (unlikely because nobody's ever been offline for more than 5 or 6 days unless they go on vacation or get a new gamertag)

Invest in PC gaming then. Better online than Xbox live, free, and just a much better experience overall :P There is life outside of consoles and it can be found at a surprisingly reasonable price :D Just keep the damn 360, geesh :P From everythign you've said you really don't want to get rid of it.

I'm getting the same feeling, and my box hasn't even broken. There are tons of issues with the 360 right now, specifically (for me) with xbox live. I've tried everything, I've called customer support and gone through all the motions but its still a major source of frustration. Maybe its just my box because all of my friends' boxes work just fine (even if they have been repaired) but I don't know how long I'm willing to put up with this. If my 360 were to break tomorrow, I don't know if I would rush out to get a new one. The problem is that I have invested so much in my console. Along with the regular console, I bought another controller, a bigger hard drive, and I have owned at least 15 games. We're talking about thousands of dollars here that I have invested into one single system. Even if the PS3 genuinly appealed to me (it doesn't really, not because i dislike it, just because the games are mostly the same to what I already have and the only thing that I really like is that it actually works) I probably wouldn't get it this late in the game just because it would be such a financial strain. So now I'm stuck with a system which I love when it works, but it rarely ever works.stevo684

Dude, you just nailed it. That is exactly how I feel. I'm between a rock and a hard place. MS is screwing us all over!

If worst comes to worst, at least get a PS3 so you can keep enjoying good games.joey101010

I'm just not all that interested in the PS3 or the Wii. Sorry, I'm just not.

I'm not sure if you would want to do this, but you could just sell your onld one when you get it back from MS, and then buy a new one with a falcon chipset, you would lose money on the deal, but would end up with a much more reliable system. You would also get an HDMI port.

[QUOTE="iamdanthaman"]I'm not sure if you would want to do this, but you could just sell your onld one when you get it back from MS, and then buy a new one with a falcon chipset, you would lose money on the deal, but would end up with a much more reliable system. You would also get an HDMI port.
