Whats up with the 360?

Whats up with all this red ring of death stuff? Like seriously, I really like the 360, and always wanted one, but all I hear about the 360 is that 80% of them are defective and the warranty is short = paying $130 for repair...maybe I should forget about 360.

How much does a 2 year warranty cost in CDN?

Not all 360s are defective. I had mine since april of last year and I never had any problems with it. The warrenty is actually a year long for free. jay_k3

Really? What store, and what country??? Canada?

Why do I see so many people complain about this, I'm scared to buy one and then have to pay hundreds of bucks to get it repaired. But thats the only reason I don't want to buy it.Ryder123

Thats because you only hear from the people who have problems.  Every person that has a broken 360 posts here, you don't hear from the people that have working ones.  You don't see threads that say "Hooray!  My 360 works perfectly!"  If you are that scared that yours will break you can get pretty long warrenties from stores like bestbuy, although for a price.  I've had my 360 since January '06 (manufactured 12/05) and I have had no problems.

Did they really fix it?

Ya thx, I already know about that intercooler stuff.

A lot of the people who had their 360's break wither used the intercooler or played marathon sessions which caused tons of overheating.LilSlugger1

exactly. thats why i mentioned the nyko intercooler. i drains ur system of power and does the opposite of what its supposed to do. it sometimes melts into peoples systems and burns out the 360. it also voids ur warrenty.

SO I WARN U DONT BUY THE NYKO INTERCOOLER!
