My 360 is fine now so no worries.colonel_beeb

My Xbox360 broke down 7 months after i bought it, i called 1-800-4my-xbox and am getting a "pre-paid" box shipped to me so i can send them my $434 paper weight. but im being charged $139.99 becuase my warrenty is expired, why should I have to pay for the mistakes of MS. i dont see why i should, but it was either pay to get it fixed or sell it as a broken system and EB games only will pay $50 for a broken system, i got f#%$ed by microsoft, thanks for nothing Bill Gates.sandorisrael

Look, you don't own a 360 . you know it and I know it. Yes it's popular these days to bash Microsoft but give it a rest. You're never going to scare people out of making a purchase with constant "Xbox sucks" posts so just head back to your regular forum and use your regular account. caiaphas143

[QUOTE="bigroy666"]Thank god. Finally some place were we can talk about our busted 360s.Mineut

Heck, just bypass the MS extended warranty and use the store's. Both Sam's Club and Costco have excellent 360 packages and both of the stores have POSTED 100% satisfaction guarantees at the customer service counter. Never deal with MS again, just take your system back to Costco and let them deal with Microsoft.  They just end up returning the units to MS anyway, and they will end up at some store as a refurb later down the road.

I know they stand by their word, because I took a $600 grill that rusted out in 2 years back to Sam's. They gave me my money back no questioned asked. I have had similar experiences at Costco.

Yes, they both cost money for membership, but that's less than the price of a regular extended warranty.

BTW, until today I WAS a MSFT fanboy...

Lol...well, it takes a big person to admit their mistakes, so I won't give you any grief. Welcome to the club. Actually, sorry that you had to become part of the club, because it means you got royally scr*wed, too.

Hmmm...makes me think we should actually thank Microsoft for bringing people together -- together in their hatred of Microsoft.

"...it's been my experience that, over the last 10 years, there has never been anything like the upswelling of people with broken Xbox 360 systems. People never complained about Nintendo's systems, which are almost indestructible, or Microsoft's first system, which we hit with a bat and didn't break. In fact, the bat broke. Sony's PS 1 had overheating problems, and Sony's PS2 had a bad second shipment and several bad disc drives in its shipments. But nothing appears to be as bad as Microsoft's Xbox 360..."

I previously posted this quote from an article written in May by ign.com.

"At last count, nine Xbox 360s that belong to IGN editors have completely crashed. Two editors, Hilary Goldstein and Jessica Chobot, have had TWO systems go kaput."

This week, Ign posted a few letters from people w/ 360 problems. Nothing we didn't know already ("we" meaning "everybody but the fanboys,") but it's good to see a reputable video game website keeping the pressure on Microsoft.

Here's part of the ign editor's response:
