My Launch 360 finally died this morning.

Three rings of death after my six hour COD 4 match yesterday.

I bought this 360 on launch day (Nov. 22) in 2005. I think I've been pretty lucky for it to live this long compared to some on here.

So how long does it usually take to get it back if you send it in? I'm thinking I should just go ahead and buy an elite and when the old one comes back from MS, trade it in.

Any advice you have, please let me know.

I had a lauch console that finally died in August of this year. I think that it took around 2 to 3 weeks to get mine back, but I can't remember exactly.

mine was a launch system i sent mineaway to ms and they said it would come back in 3weeks bu it came back in two,

i would get an elite sell it on ebay

Sorry to hear that man, it sucks, believe me, I know.

Good luck with your next console and happy gaming.

So it got taken out by a 6 hour COD 4 match, almost 2 years to the day later ehh? Yeah that really sucks man, especially at this time of year when all these games are being released. Hopefully you'll get it back quickly.

You do realize that the Elites have the same inards as your now deceased 360, right?? Your best bet is to just send it in for repairs, take a few weeks break from gaming (unless you have other systems) and don't waste the money on another 360. The only other option if you can't wait the 2-3 weeks, that kinda makes sense, is to buy and 360Arcade (which are rumored to have the Falcon 65nm in them), swap your HDD and sell you repaired 360 to cover some of the cost.EnderSR388

Yeah but the elites are more reliable

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys. I will probably just wait for it instead of paying for a whole new one. I find it strange that it dies on the same day it came out. Ah well, hopefully they'll fix it up and since I don't have to send my HDD, I'll still have all my stuff when it comes back (unlike the first xbox).
