nnoossss Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Um pretty much when an xbox breaks it gets the rings of death. U send it in and they give u a new one or fix it. Im thinkin that germany is still probably selling some of the recalled systems, which is possible if u live on a base. But i woudnt break it send it in and get urself a free one.

Stevotron5000 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sadly, with owning a 360 it's a part of the territory. In the past three years or so I've had to use microsoft's replacement plan five times and have had friends replace theirs 7-10 times. It takes a couple of weeks for the entire process but it's worth it if you're still under warranty. After my third xbox I started getting free stuff with my replacements because I told them this was my 3rd, 4th, 5th, replacement, etc. actually turned out to be quite profitable for me and while my xbox was getting fixed I just played my trusty PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I've only had to replace my first xbox that got the RROD, just walked into best buy with it and walked out with a brand new one (with HDMI that my old one didn't have) in 10 minutes. Replacement plan FTW! And this one has been problem free for a year now, it's loud as crap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBRF4i Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 not a day goes by that i regret buying a PS3 over a 360. Theres a few things that encouraged me to get the ps3 over the xbox (mainly MGS, KZ2, God Of War, GT etc. . .) but the failbox having a 33% fail rate was the biggest deciding factor.

nnoossss Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 well the ps3 hasnt had as many problems as the 360 has but since microsoft made that huge recall there hasnt really been alot of problems with the 360. but i just like ps3 more because ive always played playstation.

tallhamer88 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I love my 360 but if it wasnt for more of my friend having one i would of got a ps3. Im so tempted in saving and getting a 3 tho. For killzone 2 and metal gear solid and gt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 It's funny because I have a 360 from the first 6 months of original release, and never got RROD, and I just finally sent it in to fix the disc tray (still under warranty after 3 years). And a girl at work today told me her PS3 won't work at all after 1 year and she has to send it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Year and a half here, and I think it's locked up on me once. No RRODs or anything else. Seriously, I know you're a hothead, and refuse to listen to advice. Contact Microsoft, get it fixed or replaced as long as it's not more than 3 years old.

Contact Microsoft, get it fixed or replaced as long as it's not more than 3 years old. maybe if you would read more into my OP you would notice that i stated that i have had to rip it apart countless times to fix it and get it to work but only for a short amount of time.. which in turn has voided my warranty, so in that case microsoft would give two craps about my xbox and i would just end up wasting money on shipping the xbox to them.. having to buy a new one like i would have done if i just smashed the first one in the first place.. anything else?

BrIaN EG2 Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 yeah it might be my own fault that i voided my warranty but if you were out here you might see how hard it is to send stuff to the states and have it sent back. i would have actually had to have sent it to my mom then she send it to them then it be sent the same way back.. and it takes anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks just to have stuff sent here from home.. so i would have been without a game system for at least 6 weeks.. no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbith Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Send me your broken one. I will go through the process with microsh*t to get it fixed if possible. If not, i will hold on to it, and we can head to the range one day once you get stateside and put some rounds through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
