Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:46:38 +0000 http://video-games.elliottback.com/?p=77#comment-266292 Just the other night I was playing my x box 360 as usual when all of the sudden the graphics start going crazy. I told my friends that I was going to leave the game and get on later, so I turned off my x box. I tried unplugging and replugging my AV cables (while it was off), and the next time I turned my x box on it read, "system error". This occurred in about 15 different languages. At the bottom it read E 74, suggesting it was probably one of at least 74 errors which could occur on my current "shit box" (seeing as how it was about as much fun as a piece of shit). Although similar to the quote at the top of the page, my shit box only flashes one red light in the bottom right corner. What the hell does it mean?!?!?!?!?!

It wasn't worth sending it in for the warranty repair for me because my friend did that and just got back another defective system. I ended up doing some research and found www.videogame911.com. They had excellent xbox 360 and video game repair service. They fixed my red ring in no time. I got it back within a week, it was such a good call.

Both problems with other units were not only smaller by comparison but were dealt with alot quicker than MS has attempted in this case. But that is not even the point. In case you gave up following the news the 360 has now surpassed the 30% failure rate and some are saying 50%. MS has lost just over a billion dollars between the returns and extension to 3 years on warrenty. I don't want to call you a fan boy but , do some reading before defending a company with so many Chiefs that they don't know where the Indians are! Oh yeah , they are all in India working for Microstupid. Tad your thinking on the figures for the 360 are so in accurate any further discussion with you will be a waist of time .

Hopefully over the next few months the whole red light, frezzing, and disc scratching will be a thing of the past. Also if yours breaks just contact MS and they will send you a box so you can send it in, this time it should be a new one instead of a old refurbished one. After this is all over and the holiday lineup ( with price drop) is released Xbox 360 will once again continue its path towards world domination!

The only people that post are people that have had a problem. Even when all comments on all sites are added up, the number of failures is a small percentage. Oh, and by BTW, vader, Sony faced a class action lawsuit for PS2 failures right out of warranty. EVERYONE I KNOW WITH A PS2 HAD TO REPLACE OR REPAIR IT AT SOME POINT. The original XBOX went through the same kinds of teething problems. THOUSANDS of people with original XBOXes had problems with them, ESPECIALLY the early ones. Even if the number of posts added up to 100,000, the percentage STILL is acceptable in relation to the number of units sold. This poll is as inaccurate as all the others.
