Bloodstain Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well, if you go on the xbox official forums almost every board has tons of complaints about their 360 breaking and having to send it in for repair (and paying $149 to repair it if its outside of warranty), and it is all by fault of microsoft who aren't even fixing the problems. Personally, my 360 scratched 3 of my games which I can't get refunded, I'm now looking for my box and receipt. So who here owns a xbox 360 and has had problems like scratched discs, freezing, ring of death, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad25891 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I get problems with my disk tray opening. Also, when my disk starts spinning it makes some really loud + weird noises, but thats about it.

Chris Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah, my first 360 died 3 days before the warranty was up. So I got a replacement from the shop where I bought it... No more problems (so far...) Notoriously Trollish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karmastocracy Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 My 360 scratched one of my discs :cry: Yes, it's unfortunitly one of the only problems with the 360 right now; and if they could just fix that...

underu2000 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I got the ring of death once. I turned it off and left crestfallen. The next day, it started working again. Such a naughty box :shame: . Oh yea, it randomly brings up "unable to read disc" messages, while IM PLAYING LIVE. It got me so many bad reviews, because the folks think i left the game like a loser... Hopefully its just the gears of war cd and not the system. Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_ross0 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I haven't got a 360 yet..but..how comon are these errors, like the disc scratching. Are the scratches just very light, or are they big huge deep gouges :? And..what exactly is the red ring of death? I heard it once before, but I've forgotten since then.

Tigra00 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 My 360 has worked fine. I've had it since January. The FIRST time I turned it on it gave me the red rings o' doom before anything else. I had just read about what that meant and I went "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"...Then I flipped it off and then back on and it was fine. I think it may have been because a cord was a LITTLE loose or that the first time I turned it on, it had no game in it. *Shrug* It's fine now...:lol: The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

Lionheart_0 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 About the scratching disc thing... I hope you guys aren't moving your xboxs while the discs are inside... Every single thing ive ever owned that uses discs has always said never move the system while the CD/DVD is inside. That included if its off. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

Hitman247m Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I've had my 360 since they were released, never had any problems with it. The only complaint I have is that the headset for XBox Live is very fragile, had to replace it 3 times already, and I'm a very careful person -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebdragon Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 My first 360 is toast, it just froze up on every GRAW game, or pretty much every game we owned. Our new 360 hasn't had any problems... yet :uhh: .
