Well, I think my 360 is dying. It keeps freezing on me at random times and last night was making a weird beep when I would power up and then it would freeze right after the beep.

And I am outside the MS warranty. If it bites it, I will be left with the PS3 and Wii until I can scrounge up $150-$200 to either have MS repair it or to replace it with an Arcade model. Pretty lame if you ask me.


Thanks MS. I love your platform, but I will be on my 5th 360 if this one croaks (the others I was in warranty for). PROTIP: Stop making consoles out of cardboard, hopes, and dreams and learn from Ninty!

Oh man that sucks. After 4 failures, I bet you have an additional sense for 360 failures (bad joke, I know).

Really, the 360 is an awesome console, we know, but why the hell is it that unreliable?

It also sucks that the warranty is not renewed after each repair. Gives them free card to re-send faulty hardware.

The extended warranty was a good move, but I still think MS could have handled the problem a lot better.

Your 5th? Man, you're throwing money at M$ for fun?

I DON'T get it.

Wow I'm starting to get worried about my system now since a lot of you guys are experiencing so many 360 problems.

How am I throwing money at MS? I said the others were all in warranty, meaning I paid a grand total of $0 for all the other repairs. If this one dies it will be the first one that costs me money.

Are you really that surprised, Spruce?

That's a shame.

Why can't Microsoft make a healthy product?
