My xbox 360 just died

Oh no don't get me wrong I like them both equally and loved playing xbox just as much as the PS3. I'm just saying what happened to me. I sent the first one in and got it back, two hours later I was on the phone with Microsoft. Not to mention I was pissed. Then got the next one back and gave up after that.

May i remind you guys, and no offence in any way, that this topic is made not to hold a console war and show whether one is a Sony or Micro fanboy but to solve my problems with my current xbox console. I understand the often faulty products of Microsoft and its frustration on people who deals with it. However, I respect both gaming systems due to their respective differences.

But im a violent gamer at heart and i find the games available to Ps3 rather lacking and i like the online xbox live. Having said that i absolutley despise the faulty manufacturing of it.

I want to say your best bet would be just sending it to Microsoft so they can fix it. Also if it comes back and breaks again you have the warranty after they fix it.

Thats a good one. PSN sure is great, with no party chat and all. The blue-ray player in the PS3 is also a budget cheap one that can't hold a candle to real blue- ray players.

When I sent in my X360, the longest part of the repair was the shipping from and to them. They fixed it in a day, but the shipping took about 2 days there and 2 days back.

Ah, new story made me think of this topic:

All I gotta say is, is that even possible? Installing a game to the hard drive and being on XBL have nothing to do with each other. I fail to see how that is possible.

Actually, it does.. XBL scans your system.

Also, I love this picture by Mike I.

Japanese Games are cooler than ????????? games!!!

this is totally relevant.
