OMG loving this post lol. Yea that cleared things up for me, microsoft received my 360 on the 12th and still no sign of it.

I really hope that my console will be renewed or replaced as well as yours was with new DVD drive etc. this sounds really cool I now have hope for my 360 of which had a hardware failure after getting the bottom right red ring. its now been 8 days that microsoft have had my 360 so hopes up :)

I sent mine in last month and just got it back...but you know what it was worht it. they are really taking care of us. And honestly just mention compensation and they should offer you like games peripherals etc. Just have faith man. I know I sound fanboyish but Im giddy:D This 360 runs like no other I have seen or had. I think the DVD drive is the Ben Q which is suppose to be really great, plus they told me it has a new heat sink...witch MST be why it runs SO MUCH cooler. Just dont give. I almost called it quits but glad I didnt:)

Thanks man.....after all I ahve been through with this thing, Im finally feeling good about it:D Im so frigging syched about this. I hope and I mean REALLY hope that this one is as good as it seems. MS really has shifted Gears apparently, and damn......Im speechless!

And happy to say that I just recieved my 360 back from "repair" and damn the upgrades are working excellent:D

1st id like to say that after Playing the likes of Obliivon and Gears on my "new" system (system hogs) that console is barely luke warm...I mean it usually gets HOT HOT HOT after playing anygame especially those 2 but Im happy to say that damn it doesnt get hot at all top or bottom:D:D:D

Second I have NEVER had a 360 DVD drive THIS quiet! Im am so pleased with the way its performing now. The supervisor that escalated my claim apparently (so she said) made sure that the console was in working order first hand. At first I was pissed cause I thought it was a refurb but its not. Its got a really recent made date, and she told me that it was a newer console and they basically just added the new heat sink, and the more efficient DVD drive...thats what she told me, and damn I believe it.

I know this is more of a blog post but I wanna let people know that I think they finally got a handle on this failure thing and Im finally proud to own the 360 and Im totally not worried about this one failing, I mean after hours of play I dare say the system is still cool on top and bottom:D This is my 8th 360 and I think this will be(finally) my 5 year console:D

So for you guys waiting for repairs have faith I think they finally solved the issues *crosses fingers* This is by far my best experience ever with MS customer service and I hope you guys get the same great treatment..EVEN GOT A VISION CAM AND A MONTH OF LIVE FOR FREE!

Anyway thanks for reading and please no trolls....this is an awesome moment for me and I think for all 360 owners. Im willing to bet the farm that those damn red lights will be far and few:D

[QUOTE="wmc540"]If you guys feel betrayed and start b****ing about it, maybe Epic won't bring you your precious Gears of War 2. So shut your yaps.bluntiss

Do I sense a Sony Fanboy? Seems that somebody is dissappointed with their purchase of a useless system/..... lol

How is that comment stating he is dissapointed with his purchase? You should be the one ashamed that you support a company that knowingly puts bad products in the mainstream and then doesnt fix them fro alomost 2 year LOL. You apparently dont rember the 360's first year out either...it sucked except for gears. Dont even get me started about which system is useless, as Im waiting for my repair console to come back as we speak.

I sense a MS fanboy that feels the need to defend his console that will eventually break...not if when. that makes about as much sense as what you said.

Get over ot guys.MS hosed Epicby not letting them regulate the LIVE content and charging for it. Epic is striking back by not only optimizing it for the PS3, but making it timed exclusive. How are you guys getting hosed anyway? The 360 only gets the game later thats it.........Are you mad cause you dont get it same day?... Geeze guys get over it. You dont see PS3 threads: Are we getting hosed cause teh 360 gets teh Tom Clancy games first....*sniff*.....*sniff*

Its ok when you get your copy you can rejoice in knowing that Im sure the 360 will have the Gears characters in its version........see you will get some exclusive content, Im almost positive the Gears characters will be inXbox 360'sversion of the game...............I just hope MS doesnt charge you for mods LMAO!

Finally MS getting the attention they deserve LOL. Look at all the little fanbots going on the defense, doing MS's damage control. I have said this from the very begining that the console is flawed and needs a recall LOL Im so glad that its now in the open that the console is such garbage cause it is.

Its funny that MS them selves say that ALL 360's were designed with a flaw and you still deny it LOL! You guys are great really you are. Im a huge fan of the 360 but MS doesnt pay me to try and convince everyone its not faulty when it is. They admitted it. just deal with it and enjoy a console that maybe wont break anymore.

As for the trolls get a life and go back to system wars.
