Still not getting a 360 until they FIX the problem! I'm not convinced its purely heat related...

It's what the heat did that made the box red ring. Apparently, it was warping the motherboard because of the heat.

They should of acknowledged this problem and done something about it a year ago. Although hearing that they've actually admitted that there is something wrong came as quite a shock. They've been denying things for so long I thought they'd never admit that they have a problem.



they are basically saying... look consumers.. we know we made a shitty product...we know this thing is gonna break on you...as long as they keep breaking we'll keep paying for them to be fixed... once 3 years is up though you're on your own... hahahaha

I don't remeber Sony or Nintendo, at least h/w wise, cutting corners into making unreliable systems. 


How about the time Sony got its ass sued off for defective PS2s?

At least MS was decent enough to head off any lawsuits by extending the warranty and adding a heat sink to refurbed 360s. That beats the hell out of the "we'll give you $25 or a free game" crap that Sony settled for.

Thanks, Sony. I always wanted another game for my busted PS2.


Are there still probs with PS2s? I thought we were talking about this gen. I still have to blow my NES from left to right, the cartridge from right to left, AND I've got a special book to put in there to get it at the right height. This is my 4th NES. MY 2nd N64 is having issues now and I can't play Perfect Dark anymore, which kinda pisses me off.

I was talking about PS3, Wii, 360.

So now you just have to get a 360 once every three years, excellent URNotE, haha

This policy makes me a lot more relaxed. Having to buy a new one after 3 years is better than having to buy a new one in 1 year.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

i wonder if they realize fixing the console would be more cost effective and ethical thing to do.
