Unfortunate but true.
Every 360 owner will get the ring of death once in their life with their 360 console. I doubt that many 360s would last over 3 years personally. I know that most of my friends (I would say more than 3/4) have experienced the ring of death.

RE: 'a' - the exact thing happened to me on my 1st launch XBOX 360 - now on my 2nd + everything is going great :D.
and btw, i'd rather pay £35/ year for the great service of XBOX LIVE [great online play, tonnes of demo's, game videos, trailers etc] than have the Free PSN [where you dont get close to the same amount of content because Sony makes developers pay to put content on the PSN - XBL does it for free :D]

It seems MS hasnt solved the problem. Why Bother buying that system if its just going to crap out. Ps3 hasnt no problems whats so ever. and internet is free. And XBL makes you spend 10 dollars on new maps, screw that crap. Xbox sucks and these complaints prove this.

The solution will come when the 65nm chips will be implemented in new consoles. There will be less heat and power consumption, it will also fix the 3 light errors. I haven't had a problem with my console but that may give me a reason to upgrade to an elite.

» I returned mine after a week...
I bought it at bestbuy, but I had so many problems with it (like dark screens of death, the fact that the play and charge kit doesnt work when the console is off, the fact that when I tryed to download all night since I didn't wanted to see the bar move to 100% for every downloads (demos), it only downloaded a part of it and "blackscreen"... I really hated myself for having spent all that money for this... (I had also bought Gears of War, wich I hate, I'm more halo style)) so I finally returned it after a week and got my money back! (I was really happy when my money was back in the bank).
I'll buy a ps3 instead, and this time, with a WARRANTY of at least 2 years, lol.

If you remember, most PS2s worked great until the laser got out of alignment 2-3 years later. Your PS3 might have the same disc read error problems right after your 2 year warranty is over. Then again, there isn't much to do with a PS3 other than play blu ray movies so it may take longer for the inevitable disc read error problem.

» 4th Xbox 360
Yeah I'm on my 4th Xbox360 now, I gave in after my 3rd premium died and bought the the elite model (not sure why). First one would tell me that the game disc I inserted in it wasn't a 360 game =(. Second one Didn't want to go through the boot process and finally died, the E64 Error. Third one just plain old quit working... (still trying to figure that one out.) And now my elite is alive, but I'm keeping track of the days. All I can say is thank god for Circuit City's service plan, otherwise I would have had to send it to Microsoft to get fixed. On the other side, my friends Premium is one of the launch consoles, its sounds like a jet taking off but it still works.

I agree with you >_>, its the internet. People will lie because there is no way to prove who is telling the truth and who isnt. Its basically a worldwide faceless community, so anyone can say anything and it goes unchecked.
I dont believe the numbers I hear on the net about failed 360s, since my real life experiences with a 360 failure is almost zero. I have only had one friend on my friends list who has had a problem with his 360 and had to get it repaired. None of my real life friends have had problems either, and most of us have launch consoles.
Of course, people are going to say the 360 has a large failure rate on the net. The only thing you can do is make that judgement with your own experiences.

» you
really think that many people are lieing??? honestly if I compared xbox360 history to xbox,ps2 I would not have got no as many similar stories percentage wise.
How about the articles on gaming sites about the "red ring" are you saying there lying too? you could argue by say its the media blowing it out of proportion, but really don't think it is when you see the connection between the sites and what people are saying on forums. And my own experiences.
I don't know about you but I didn't see too many people(actually i can't recall any) in the past complaining that they were on their 4th xbox or ps2.
I've owned a ps2, xbox, ps1, and a Super Nintendo and I have never had 1 of them die on me in since their purchase.

» my friends..
I have two friends who have experienced the 360 having the 3 red lights of death as soon as they took it out of the box, i witnessed one of them. They both got new ones and both eventually died again, all of this happened in a 3 month period. They both ended up dieing the same way again, but at different times.
I'm not being biased, I own a 360 myself(launch day system) and it's still running decent, it scratches games to hell though. My PS3 has no problems, and is the far better system of the two.
But seriously people, why should someone have to log in to xbox live to access a saved game? Isn't that a bit much for MS to demand?
My 2 cent.

» Second console for me
The first was an engagement present from my fiancée so I was double gutted when that decided to red ring for no reason... The towel trick worked for half an hour which proves its dodgy build quality and not the chips that's causing the failure.... My second console has an extended warranty. I'm not making that mistake twice. A quick tally of my friends who own 360s shows that in about 15 people I can think of only one has a functioning first unit... His was a release model at that.... One of my friends is on his 4th and another on his 3rd. Yeah, my PS3 has no problems... But then I only have 3 games for that and haven't seen a new release I fancy for the last 2 months.

» The most bricked system is made by Sony
Its quite funny when you get PS3 owners to try and convince you to pay out a fortune on a system that is failing, Firstly there are no games on the PS3 worth playing for more than an hour so I doubt your movie player ever gets hot anyway.
Im now on my 3rd PS3 and if it breaks again im getting a second xbox instead and proberly the WII.
Funny how of all the people I know None have had any problems with their 360s BUT when you are on the internet they all tell you that their 360 and everyone else they know has gone wrong,why do PS3 owners need to write that crap so your system is not selling very well but do you think by trying to make the xbox look bad they will buy a PS3 or something?.
The most bricked games machine is actually called the SONY PSP and like the 360 it gets bricked/red lights because people are messing with their firmware thinking that if it goes wrong they can tell MS it just broke becuase they havent broken the seal..

» the 3 ring lights of death
i totally agree, we own a gaming store and some of the Xbox 360 we have sold are coming back to us with the dreaded 3 rings lights of death. The things knowing the the 360 has a overheating problem we tell all out customers to limit there playing time like say 3hours and yet most of it still come back with the 3 ring light of death. Some of our customers even claim that they rarely use it. Regarding the psp its one of our top sellers, the problem i think is that people who buy the console dont really know much bout the firmware updater risk, so what we do is take time and tell each customer about the risk and firmware update and i am glad to say that not one customer has came back with a bricked psp. I think the xbox would have been a great console if it didnt break down all the time, it has lots of games, xbox live which would be really great for hardcore gamers. I wish that microsoft would take care of this the 3lod problem then this would be a great console. I also think that the reason for the overheat is that its hot and humid in our place, if an owner let says was living somewhere with a cold weather that that might be the reason why their units last longer.

» Lets do this...
I know a lot of us are having problems with our Xbox%u2019s and it seems as though it is either a never ending cycle or Microsoft seems unwilling to truly assist us in addressing these issues.
I feel that if we all unite as a single force, we can open someone%u2019s eyes! We need to get all the people together in one place! My suggestion is, let us grab all the gamers, friends, posters, bloggers, IMers, whoevers and get them all onto the Myspace page that I have created just for this reason. Send everyone you can! WE HAVE POWER IN NUMBERS!!!
Remember to post your story. Be professional, courteous and mature in your postings please. Let%u2019s take the high road and be civil.

» how can we be professional, courteous or even mature...
when fanboy can accuse user of lying and running of propaganda. like they said always, we dont have proof of 360 breaking like they dont have proof of us lying.
what I believe is that these report of 360 red light of death are mixed with both real and lie reports.
http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u43/hoi1ma/
in my profile contain pics letters i get back with my fixed 360. no proof of actually using 360 normally when i break. also have pic of my 3 console, which means i am not taking side since I have all 3.

If you have a 360 replaced, they'll give you your original hard drive should you so wish.
This is NOT part of the problem.

» Hey
I work for a games company here in aus, we get about 4 xbox360's come back a week. However i still choose to play 360 because if you get an extended warranty there is no big deal.
P.s mine is a launch console and is still fine
