xbox 360 problem

[StarBwoy]

[Nemesis]

[StarBwoy]

[Bud]

[BlueHatch]

[StarBwoy]

[jtaylor48]

Mine had the 3 and I sent it in the box they ship you. I got mine back in like 10 days. I have a buddy who has been through 5 since he's had his and it just keeps messing up. If you say it has been messed up 4 times they will expedite one to him and it should be there like 3 days after he sends his off.

Where did he buy it? and did he get the warranty there? If its Gamespot, walmart (extended warranty only), best buy etc. they usually will trade it out for you with the warranty

[kfzemx3]

we have 2 here, both red ringed, even our elite. which we cant send the elite back yet because it only red rings occasionally. If you send them the xbox and it doesn't red ring they charge you for repairs which is bull****

[jtaylor48]

What do you mean occasionally? How many lights?

[kfzemx3]

we get 3 red rings, and it'll lock up and it'll red ring for a few mins (turning it on and seeing if we can get it to work again) then it will just start working again. But now it just makes this loud beep sound (like a bios beep) and it freezes up and even still this is random. Normally I wouldn't be getting all pissed off about this but its cutting into to battlefield: Bad Company time and its a bit annoying

[IndianStig]

first time i seen this here haha

[StarBwoy]

yes he has warranty not sure about the place he bout it

[HyPer50]

Just send it to microsoft... they have an unlimited warranty for consoles suffering from the 3 rings of death... I've sent mine back twice. Or you could try the youtube towel method heh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w4OnKCX6Nc

lol yea every Xbox owner acrosss the known world.



After the first 3 times I would of got rid of it and purchased a PS3 or got the PS3 without thinking twice about getting an Xbox :thinking:

[jtaylor48]

Do not do the towel trick. It completely voids any possiblilty that microsoft will work on it. If they see that it has gotten that hot they will just send it back and leave you with a dead box

Yup. I also heard that this is just a temporary fix and you will be SOL once it finally locks up for good.

[LeX]

Mine red ringed then wouldn't even power up... I'm not original owner but i convinced lady on phone to let me send it in anyway... they sent me a 'new' unit back (not brand new, but not my original xbox) and it works fine

[StarBwoy]

damm

[ARH1192]

I've owned 3 360's and have had ZERO problems. I sold the 1st and idk how its doing but my second one is alive and strong and about 2 years old. and I got an Elite about a year ago and have had NO problems.

[Arm&hammer]

i know how to fix this.
throw it away and buy a ps3:goodjob:

[ARH1192]

I have a PS3 also. Only thing its good for is Blu-ray!

[Evil Goat]

ive had mine since Aug of '06 and have never had a problem out of it, have actually been considering selling it b/c im getting to where i dont play it that much anymore....my 5 yr old plays it more than i do


i know how to fix this.
throw it away and buy a ps3:goodjob:

so what youre saying is he should trade the best gaming system on the market for an overglorified dvd player? :taun:

[SlowsterCivy]

I've had to send mine in once. Got it back pretty quick, hadn't had a problem since. It had the 3 red lights, so i sent it in, I had only had it 5 months when it happen, and didn't even play it a whole lot. I was pissed, I haven't touched my Xbox 360 in so long,. It's all dusty.

[Bruce Leroy]

My 360 went out the day i got gta4. One red light, not covered under unlimited warranty. Costs me $100 to get it fixed.

hahaha! rrod! i had it to before. 360 are garbages like all MS produces!!!

[egb18c5]

I have a PS3 also. Only thing its good for is Blu-ray!

and its also good for replacing a crapbox 360!

[nreggie454]

I got the 3 red lights and received a new Xbox 360 for free about a month later. I still think the 360 is a better choice for gamers over the PS3, unless you are a big movie buff and need blu-ray.

Sell It Get A Ps3.

[ARH1192]

360 - LOTS of GREAT GAMES!
PS3 - 1 or 2 decent games.

360 - Awesome xbox live/online play
PS3 - On line is the lose!

360 - no blu-ray :(
PS3 - BLU-ray

so as you can see, if your into gaming 360 is the winner. if you want a blu-ray player and still play some games the PS3 is winner.

or just get both! thats what I did!

[xbn83]

Facts:

Xbox 3sh!tty - A lot of games, but stupid games, only handful are good.
PS3 - few decent games NOW, but they are on the way out. MGS4 shows what PS3 and bluray can do. It is just a beginning!

Xbox 3sh!tty - Good Xbox Live, but not FREE.
PS3 - not as good, but FREE.

Xbox 3sh!tty - not true 1080, only blow-up pixels.
PS3 - true 1080.

Xbox 3sh!tty - graphic is already as good as it can get.
PS3 - still has a lot of potential.

Xbox 3sh!tty - Too many problems to list. Very high failure rate. Unreliable POS.
PS3 - Reliable hardware.

Xbox 3sh!tty - A lot of down time due to 3rrod.
PS3 - ready to play anytime.

Xbox 3sh!tty - No motion controller.
PS3 - Six axis controller.

Xbox 3sh!tty - Using old RF.
PS3 - Bluetooth.

Xbox 3sh!tty - No wifi built in.
PS3 - Wifi ready.

Xbox 3sh!tty - No memory card reader slots.
PS3 - CF, Pro Duo.

Xbox 3sh!tty - Enjoy free games.
PS3 - not hack yet.

What good does it do when there are a lot of games to play, but the console does not work??? I own both systems BTW. I'm on my 4th Xbox since Jan 08.

[ARH1192]

if xbox comes out with a blu-ray add on I will be selling my PS3!

[Alan®]

half of your posts are almost inconceivable. Anyways like every one has said call xbox, they send you a box, you ship it to them, they fix it and send it back all free of charge. Mine did it to me 6 months after i got it but hasn't done it since. I'm getting a PS3 here soon so I'll have the best of both worlds

[StarBwoy]

i know how to fix this.

no :2up: ps3

[4dmin]

you got 3 yr warranty on red ring send it back to be fixed... i haven't had one issue w/ mine.

[StarBwoy]

the new xbox 360 wont have that problem so happy

[93_db2]

hey if any of you guys would like to sell one of your 360s with the ring of death, i will buy one or 2 . let me know how much if so....

[chhs_lax]

Yea the new ones wont have that problem, but there will be more waiting. The 360 is a good console and all, but I would've thought MS would have worked out all the bugs. Most of my friends who've had one had to send it back multiple times. And anyone who says PS3's are garbage is a RETARD. Anyone who says a 360 is garbage is an idiot too, people just like making dumbass arguments for the sake of making dumbass arguments. On a side note, PS3's are better.
