Probably just one of the unlucky ones. Dont get a PS3 just coz your 360 broke once. There are faults in every single piece of electronic equipment. Just get another under the warantee and then...well play some good games :D

If there are good games ill play them simple as that no matter what im playing it on.I picked the 360 right now cuz well there just alot more game i wanted to play but i dont want to have it dieing on me over and over that why i posted that.

Take it back to the store and get a new one.

Its not hard.

I'm on my 4th console so I don't feel the least bit sorry for you.

It's probably just one of the unlucky ones. I have two in my house that are almost a year old and haven't had any problems.

Dude thats a STUPID comment.

I work at Best Buy, in Inventory and we get 3 - 5 broken 360 consoles every week that need to be shipped back to the manufacturer.

Microsoft knows the 360 is faulty. They're doing nothing about it.

That's a bad idea. The 360's intake fans are probably sucking up all kinds of dirt and carpet fuzz in to itself. Better to keep it off the floor on a hard surface with plenty of ventilation.

You've probly got it in a not well ventalated area or summit, have you checked that you've done everything right. Don't get a ps3, just cos you're 360 broke that's really dumb.

What exactly is their warranty? Does it differ from what store you buy it from? If you order one online and it breaks do you send it back to the store you bought it from or send it to some warehouse for microsoft?

Fist thing, don't put it on the rug.
Second, it's (unfortunetly) totally normal normal to get a faulty 360.
Third, MS's warantee and customer service is superb. You can get it replaced without any hassle from MS. They send you a box, you ship it, and you get it back
Fourth, you can still return it to the store.

My 360 broke 2 times. It took over 6 months the 1st and just a little over a month the second time. Each time they sent me a brand new unit. Yes, it's annoying, but it's really not too bad. You could buy a PS3, but why bother? There are noly a handful of good games on the system while the 360 has dozens. I'm not a fanboy. I'm just a gamer w. no biases, and I'm telling you don't do it JUST because your 360 broke the 1st time.
