I phoned Microsoft today. They're going to take the console away and see if it can be repaired. But it could take up to 4 weeks to have it sorted You get the ones worth playing. What? All 3 of them?

Sexton Hardcastle Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The 360 is so overrated. Dont get the same problems with the PS3 and it is now out selling the Xbox 360 in Europe. GT ****es all over Project Gotham as well for the record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT ****es all over Project Gotham as well for the record Of course because no PS3 has ever overheated and there have never been reports of problems with the PS3. And woopdedoo the PS3 is outselling the Xbox 360 after a full year on the market... So basically... the Xbox 360 had a 15 month of sales where the PS3 was selling nothing... Then it had a full year where it was outselling the PS3... And now your getting all hyped because the PS3 is selling more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makateer Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Trust the PS3 trolls to thread crap again, well done guys Eckauskas, hopefully you will get your 360 back in about 2 weeks, I hear they have been pretty quick lately turning them around.

Edinburgh JT Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I know how you feel! My 360 packed in a few weeks ago. No red ring of death, it just started saying all discs were unplayable Its on its way home now though according to an e-mail that we got and thats been about two weeks I think. Will probably have been about 3 weeks in total once it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrahim Tall Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The "red ring" thing is fixable yourself apparently, well, atleast temporarily i'm sure. Don't have an xbox so never tried it myself like but heard about it off a mate a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I P Knightley Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 As your Xbox dying? I'm sure that the vast majority of the 60 million people in war-ravaged and poverty-ridden Sierra Leone, for whom owning an Xbox, operative of otherwise, is a dream as ridiculous as my own (involving Angelina Jolie, a young Kate Bush and Eva LaRue) would be able to come up with a "gutted top ten" that knocks your dead box into a cocked hat. Add to them most of the African continent, the 1 billion Chinese people below the poverty line, the millions in the Indian sub-continent and the fact that your parents might have made you a Hibby and you might just see how self-centred and materialistic your OP appears Ach...

Alan_R Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 "my xbox broke" "mine too" "did you get that common problem" "naw it was a different problem but ten people I know had that happen" "its ok send it away, the equipment you paid hundreds for will only be away for 2 weeks til a month" "its ok, that problem is so common there is guides on you tube to try and fix it yourself" "Im so happy I have to pay extra to go online" etc etc blah blah blah. but the ps3 is still crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibble Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Microsoft should be taken to court by the EU for the problems they have had with both the XBox and the 360. Every Xbox owner I know has had a console die in some way or another. Usually the DVD player craps itself. There is no way that these products could be considered "of merchantable quality".

I've got a 360 myself and mine died a while back. They sent me a brand new one within 2 weeks but i appreciate what your saying with regards the amount of them that have *****ed up. God only knows why they've been so poorly performance wise but it must be costing them absolute fortunes and maybe even the next gen war. Sony have overtaken them in europe despite being much more expensive and having arguably less quality games. I reckon MS must make LIVE free from now on if they want to stay in the hunt and maybe even more price cuts with all the versions of the 360. They've had almost an 18 month head start and blew it with the incredibly bad reliability of the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It's not a childish argument. It's just as valid as Hearts being better than Hibs. It gets reptitive reptitive with the RROD and the no games stuff but they are both good points. It's also a lot of money you pay for the machines so you're probably best to see the pros and cons of each machine and decide from that. It's not which is better, it what one suits you. It's not PS3 owners faults that they were born to make wrong choices and get their priorities mixed up afterall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
