Xbox 360 Quality

[Ronin]

Bit the bullet and got a 360 today. Took it home plugged it in and all i get is 3 flashing lights on the front which means it has a hardware failure...f**king great. Back it goes.

Did you try pressing ctrl-alt-del?

[Shitbox]

any key ...... which ones the any key ...??

[MacGuyver]

My brother has had to return his 360 a second time after having it die on him after about 4 or so months of ownership. He 'got it fixed' and it lasted for another week before the second break down. He would be able to play the machine for about 5 minutes before it would either come up with a system error or just shut down and flash red lights around the power button. Poor value!

[Primordial]

The only two people I know who have one have both had to send theirs back with power supply problems... Dodgey...

[NickR33]

Had mine for 3 months, no problems... yet... *fingers crossed*

[Ronin]

Got another one, seems ok so far....

yep got one of those the other week... hadn't been having any problems but was a little alarmed by the egg frying temperature of the disks when taken out after a couple of hours playing... its just 3 fans that bolt on the back... seems to extract a lot more air... or I am just a ricer at heart

^^^ Ive got one on mine aswell, it serves it purpose, works well.

[ferni]

Yeah thats the only thing holding me back from flashing the dvd firmware on mine, is that if it breaks i wont have warrenty.............

[MacGuyver]

My brother was considering getting one of those intercoolers before his 360 carked it for the second time. I know someone else with a 360 who hasn't had any issues with it what so ever but he's only a casual gamer so maybe he hasn't played it enough to find the gremlins in the system yet.

Still waiting for the King of the Mountain PS3. It just has to be #1.

Man, i want one of these but i want to mod, does any1 know if i buy one @ K-Mart or Target, they will swap it if it breaks down or do they send away for repairs too?

Actually wouldnt u just be able to re-flash the original firmware back onto it before it went back??

Any1 got a direct link on where to order the cooler? Im an avid gamer and my systems tend to be run days on end

You have to open up the console to flash the firmware, when you open the console, you void your warrenty.

^^ what he said.

theres a label that crosses the crease (dunno bout 360's but this is for ps2) and only way to open it is to cut that label. although im unsure if it peals off?

Hairdryer on the warranty sticker FTW!

I don't believe legally they can refuse to honour a warranty if you have opened the case. If the thing is obviously damaged due to your own actions (flashing, etc), then they can refuse it.
