Yup, I had a disc get scratched by mine once. Fuckers.

my local gamestation i used to work at covers the console for a year as they just ship back the faulties to microsoft - with reciept that is even though legally its only 28 days


though more likely the replacement console would be faulty. seen it happen a million times at work, where people bring back 1 then bring back the replacement then the 3rd etc.

Yeah but if you call ms the way it works is you get a refurb and a 2 month warranty. I was always told to bring it back to the store though, prefer a new console and not some previously broken pos that could fail at any minute.


The 360 warranty really is shit, 1 year, then again in amreica it was like 3 months.


Some guy though thinks he's figured out why so many are dieing:

Considering the heat the gpu and cpu emit the scenario in the vid is very possible, if the board warps over time solder connections will get broken and fuck the console up. annoy:

do you void your warranty if you paint your xbox360?

not taking the panels off to paint it

im hoping to buy a 360 soon...hopefully this new one means a oprice drop for the other one...

dont think it will, i mean its still more expensive then the two previous versions with a better set up, theres no reason they would lower the price of the other ones

from what ive heard not sure if its true. Microsoft plans to get rid of the core system and putting the pro package at the core price.

BWAHAHAHHA wtf

got these bad boys in today of the merchandise truck, O how I wanted to just variance one out biggrin:

They plan to sell the Elite as a limited production run at first. Then drop the core, put the premium at the core price, and put the elite where the premium is now. No time line for any of this, and its unknown if they will keep the black finish when it does take up the premiums price.
