XBOX 360...DEFECTIVE?

Featured Replies

Ive been online reading countless forums

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something is wrong with the Xbox 360's, you can read about 9 pages of problems here: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=462099

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

check out a video of it here: http://forums.xbox.com/589722/ShowPost.aspx

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

there are sooo many complaints

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone have a defective one? I didint buy one yet, but i hope microsoft releases a bug free xbox in the future...

The first products are always defective, you ought to know that lol. Products after a certain period are better as the product had gone through many fixes and blah

MS always rush out their products, thats why where are always so many patches and fixes for their software in the first few months of release.

 

 

 

Unattainable deadlines were placed on the factories and unfortunatly the quality has been lowered in order to produce more quantity. Without decent quality control these kinds of things happen. MS should not have released for the christmas market, by trying to get in early to beat the PS3 and Revolution they have unfortunatly got themselves in a big whole.

Even XP still has some defects. I recently reformatted my HDD and installed my XP CD, and it says my CD is pirated. Woo hoo! No more automatic updates! :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank god for Firefox. I don't know what I'd do without it.

alot of problems it seems is the cooling of the unit... i think MS should have put a heat sink and fan for every CPU ... cause really think about it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 CPU's each clocked at 3.2 Ghz

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a GPU

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and 512 Mb of Ram

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

all stuck in a little box with only 1 fan...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well i am just glad i am getting mine at Christmas and all the bugs should be out

Good luck! lol, i doubt a 2nd gen will come out for another 6 months. You're best bet now is just to keep it all ventilated.

Hahahahaha Sony is better! But what did you expect they did a rush job so of course there would be deffects. Didn't the same thing happen with the PS2 and the Xbox when it first came out?

Hhaha Sony is better, but their ps2 had more complaints about disc read errors than stupid statements made by you! :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My 360 is working just fine and I plan on keeping it that way.

what do you expect? its an xbox, they rushed to beat the ps3 and suffered for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My sentiments exactly. People couldve waited a month later after a few more testings.

*put an owned smiley here*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's why you don't rush for something that just came out :? It's prolly gonna be the same for the other two too.

:lol: When the revolution comes out, it would be halarious if they shiped a tv controler with the product intead of the controler :lol:

The first products are always defective, you ought to know that lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, it happens quite often. My friend bought a first-gen PS2 and after three months he was no longer able to play any sort of DVD on it.

I know the price. I pay it gladly.

MS kinda rushed but Sony isnt taking their time either.. they just want to put blu-ray into the Ps3 which will take forever and cost alot more

sigjicu0.gif

agreed. the system does have many problems and i am disappointed because i am an xbox user. i am not going to even think about buying one until the price drops and the problems are fixed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

like someone said, they rushed and lost

Lost at what?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I guarantee you <.00005% are defective. You notice it because the people that have defective ones are posting. No one else is going "mine works great and im going to make a topic about it."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Millions were sold and like 300 aren't working?

You're saying that 300 isn't a lot? :?

300 out of millions? No. This is a very complex system and it's stupid for anyone to expect there not to be any problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Granted, if mine were messed up I would be frustrated,angry, cussing too. But, my point is that for the sheer amount of units they've sold and the complexity of the console I think they've done a pretty good job.

Nothing is perfect thats why everybody has defects when the first product is put out. I can bet you tho that the Sony PS3 will have a flaw with it.

:lol: When the revolution comes out, it would be halarious if they shiped a tv controler with the product intead of the controler :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOL THAT WOULD BE SO HALARIOUS!!!....too bad you can't spell hilarious, shipped, controller, instead, and controller again.

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

The ps2 had just as many complaints when it first came out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

300 out of millions? No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There arent millions of xbox 360s sold yet...

 

 

 

and 300 is just a number someone pulled out of their "behind"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just because people don't waste time whining on forums, doesn't mean they don't have a defective xbox.

too bad that has nothing to do with the topic of the post, so dont post it and go off topic
