no more 360 for me :(

[leaffan]

Ummm, fuck that! When did they change that? That's some sneaky bullshit right there.

90% of the time they are sending you a refurbed hunk of shit and yet they are only giving you a 90-day warranty (plaus the balance of your previous)? Fucking bullshit.

What?

They are giving a 90 day warranty on the refurb unit even if your box had 2 days left on its original warranty or if you had some box die after a year you'd still have the two years on it.

This is fairly standard for replacement warranties on electronics.

I've been playing more of my Xbox since I just got it replaced (bought a new one). I made sure it was a Jasper model. I'm still careful with it, just because I now expect it to RROD. :lulz:

The 360 isn't a fairly standard piece of electronics.

well its officially dead. I didnt play at all today and now its doing this purple scribbly line BS. This kind of pisses me off cause it turned on just fine when i checked it a few times during the day. But now, with no time played its just not working

And I'm more pissed that apparently this is a policy change. Maynard's link even says "New Post-Service Warranty".

When my third one broke I was told by the rep that my warranty started over.

How can they just downgrade a warranty policy like that?

If I buy a NEW 360 at the store I get a THREE YEAR warranty for RROD and E74 and a one year for anything else. Why would it be any different if I get a replacement?

[tigstah]

feeling pretty good that my 360 is still running. i would be sick if i had to buy another right now

[Maynard]

lmao....i just bricked my 360. our studies show that if you do not have video the prudent thing to do is wrap a towel, or in this case, a thick comforter around your xbox 360. Causing an intentional over heating to an already broken system to provide yourself with a big old helping of red ring of death.

i feel so in control

How Microsoft has escaped a serious lawsuit is beyond me.

If Microsoft built cars, population control would be successful.

The 360 is a disgrace from a manufacturing point of view (I AM NOT A FANBOY ... I have and love both consoles).

If my refrigerator worked like the 360, I would be clean and sober ... because my beer would never be cold.

[Maynard]

well i decided to pick up an arcade model for $199. I got $40 in trade for my bricked 360, which i thought was great since it was dead. I also traded in a few games that i am not playing. All that included the gamestop rewards card bonus that i got.

i paid $120 for the new system. Not to bad since the deciding factor was that i got a Jasper model. Plus i have the hard drive and now i also have a hdmi port on my 360

Did they check it?

That's not a bad deal at all. HDMI is boobies.

Monoprice.com FTW.

[Maynard]

nope, they didnt check it. I called ahead and asked if they take RROD 360 and they said yes. they give 35, but since i had the edge card i got 40

[Maynard]

i would have stuck with the ps3 exclusivly, but there are some things about it that annoy me. The lack of a community feeling is a huge deal for me. If im playing offline its great, but online, the lack of friends that i play with regularly, lack of people using headsets. The differences in the interactive menus for friends and communicating. The lack of a legitimate website to see what friends are doing and what not.

the other thing that bugs me is the installs of games. I buy a new game and i want to play, but have to wait for the install. Same applies to demos. Not only do they take forever to DL, but then you have to wait 20-30 mins for the install.

im not bashing the ps3 for these issues, but they are just things that bother me that i am not used to doing on the 360. Plus i have rock band for 360, and other games that i dont feel like buying all over again. All those songs i DLed for RB2 would not be available on the ps3 and i would need to get new instruments all over again

Congrats man....120$ for a jasper model aint bad at all.

Are you gonna install all of your games to your hard drive?

[Twigg4075]

Reason #1 why the 360 continues to sell. People re-buy the system when their shit breaks.

i just moved my original hdd from my old one to the new arcade model. I just have to do the license transfer for the arcade games and other DLC i have saved on this drive

what sucks is MS only allows 1 transfer every 12 months. That shouldnt be a problem, but u never know
