The Xbox 360 is not broken discussion and thread

Ok, so we read a lot of complaints about how everybody's box is burning up or just quitting on them.

Here's a an idea of mine. Let's start a thread about how flawless your Xbox has been running. How long it's been on playing a game the longest, how long it's been on total and what flaws you've heard other people about but never experienced yourself !

Got mine about 2 weeks and had one on loan from a friend for about 3 months. Played Gears of War 13 hours straight, my friends machine's probably seen 500 hours of play in 6 months, never had heat problems, never had a freeze, never had a red lights in any combination turn on, 360 never scratched a game of mine (read that a lot too).

My Xbox 360 is just lovely!! lol

Had it for about 3 months 

I've had it for a year and it's never even frozen on me.Powerhitter0418

Mines fine as well. It did freeze once but my room was burning hot, don't blame it =).

 Other than that though, it's been perfectly fine.

Mine works fine with only one hiccup. Every 3rd time or so I boot up I get one red light in the bottom right quadrent with the error code E-68 which is a hardware error pertaining to the hard drive. I turn it off and wait, turn it back on and it's fine. I got my xbox 360 back in August and this has been going on since the middle of November.GregSal1

 I love my Xbox 360 but i refuse to be dumb as of saying that a problem does not exist when it is evident it does GROW UP

the fact that u do not have a problem does not mean it does not exist

I didn't say the 360 has no problems, i'm just saying not ALL 360's have the overheating defect. I'm just curious as to how many people also have never had any heating problems with the 360

Bought mine 10/29/06.

Was made in June 06.

Played 2 days in a row strait on it... Have put over 700 hours on it.

Not 1 issue to this day.

Mine is sooo not broken :)

EDIT: I bought it in November 3rd 2006,it's manufactured date is August if i remember correctly.

Ugh, I mean I really wish you'd stop posting pictures of Cher around here. I respect the fact that you've got the right to like whatever you want to like, but that's a horrid image to inflict on the rest of us. Not trying to flame... no hate intended here... but honestly.

That being said, most people's 360s do not break. If you've got an IQ over 75 you probably know this. I don't see the point of this thread other than to play to the lowest common denominator. Be it known that Gamespot also has a tendency to lock these threads.

I purchased mine on 12/22/05 and its still running strong.  But nearly all of my friends that own one has had it die.  One thing that I do is never move mine.  I've only moved it once a tad to connect the HD-DVD player but that's it.  It has plenty of room to breath and is in a secure area.  I don't know if that makes a difference, but my friends didn't have there's in a similar setting.

But ......... I personally hope it dies after the the Elite comes out.  I have the Best Buy warranty and I'll be able to upgrade.  It'd be perfect ...... well, once I figure out what to do about the hard drive saves ....

Lol i don't get why it ticks people off,shes cool imo,but i guess everyone doesn't need to know that:P

I might take it down..i might not :P 

Before I continue first this :

1. It is obvious that the xbox 360 has heating problems ; not áll of them, but certainly enough to be noticed as a problem

2. It being necesarry for a xbox 360 ánd its powerunit to sit completly free in open space, with a lot of room and ventilation is not reasonable. It is also unreasonable that even the slightest movement (unintentionaly) of a running xobx could damage it or the game. In other words : a console should be designed to bee used at home in an average manner, not only work in near laboratory conditions.

Tat said, i've noticed from the reactions on this post that a lot of people who do not have trouble with their xbox, truly keep everything extremely ventilated and.. "spacey" or "roomy" ( pardon my Englidh, it's not my native tongue so to speak)

Let the flaming comence......

chrizzie

Wait, so me leaving my 360 under my TV stand with the rest of my electronic components and not moving it (which I also don't do with the rest of my components) is unreasonable????  :?
