360 died last night!

This is extremely common. We'll probably get some guys come in here and say it isn't and they've had theirs since the beginning with no problems at all, but look at how many guys on here have said they've had that happen numerous times and within a short period of time after buying it. It's hard not to point and laugh because of how well documented that problem is. Microsoft keeps saying it's been fixed, yet I'm always hearing of it happening to new systems.

My PS3 has been pretty good. No Red Ring of Death, no overheating. Now that I think about it, I've had no problems at all.

Anyways, that sucks dude. I'd be really pissed if Sony had problems with the PS3 and I happened to get one of the lemons.

I'm one of those guys who has had their 360 from the beginning with no problems, I actually got it from my sister in law a bit "early"....

She worked for the XBox team at that time.

Mine got the red circle of death the week before last, though.....

Just got notice that it's being shipped back from MS today. Hopefully all is well with it. It was out of the "warranty period", but for the red circle of death they go back three years or so.

You should've gotten a PS3.

yea, ive played games for a couple hours, then went straight into watching a movie. so total run time that ive had so far is about 6 hours, and still no over heating. and i dont even have one of those intercooler things either. i run my ps3 stock. lol.

shoulda got a ps3.

My PS3 has been on for over 8 hours before...without problems!

Just another case were PS3 and 4-strokes are better... " title="Wink">

If I would have gotten the PS3 for the same price as my 360 (free), then I would have one....

My 360 has been left on for periods longer than that often (kids changed the TV channel and forgot to turn off the console), never had a problem either. Til one day it just lit up red.......

8 hours? That's it? Hell, I leave mine run for days at a time without shutting it off. I'm one of the million+ PS3 owners participating in that Stanford Folding at Home thing.

Last night I was having some SERIOUS issues. I guess a tornado in the area will do that! " title="Wink"> Most of the town 5 miles away still doesn't have power...or homes for that matter.

I actually was able to play a little MX, but it wouldn't let me on COD4 at all... I could sign in ok, but when I'd go to "find a room", it'd boot me.

[quote="SPYGUY":cvzo1y9c]After a month of owning mine, mine gave me the red ring of death......or so I thought.

I posted here when it happened and was getting ready to take it back to Walmart when all of a sudden it started working flawlessly again. The only thing I changed was laying it down (it had been upright).

That was about 3 months ago and I haven't had a problem since. Some people have said that it will do that if there are loose cables and I'm thinking maybe that was the problem with mine.

Oh well. I bought the 360 for Untamed anyways, and Untamed has been kind of a let down so if the 360 ever does actually break, I won't be too upset.[/quote:cvzo1y9c]


I'd stand it back up again and hope that it goes permanent TU, then get it updated before they stop paying for it......

My 360 is acting up..while playing a game the screen goes black..then it comes back with the menu screen. No red ring yet, but sounds like its on it way.

My 360 seems to act up when I'm in a moto with 8-10 other guys and after a few laps and the track is covered with tuf blocks my bike becomes uncontrollable and hits every one. Stupid X-box.
