Xbox 360 Owners

Has anybody had any technical problems with the 360? I've heard of people returning the system 2-3 times for repairs/replacement when it first launched. I've had mine for 4 months now and the games started freezing up recently and I'm afraid it's gonna be a $400 paperweight soon.

Most problems with the 360's turned out to be user error, such as not enough ventilation or sitting it on its side. We have had 2 360's since the release date and both are running just fine.

Make sure the games arent scratched and they are not halo 2 (Fails on the newest of boxes still at times). If it is the 360, it would be the laser being dirty or failing and that is a major pain. Hope all goes well.

Mine is at the tech center now because of screen freezing. No user error here, my xbox sits in a very open area and all the troubleshooting tips were followed, the system still wouldnt work.

Needless to say this is really screwing up my Gears Of War League ratings lol.

I've had the system for over a year now and haven't experienced any system-related problems. Occasionally Rainbow 6 will freeze but I think it's game related.

When your xbox's finally break, you'll be singing a different tune trust me.

I got mine 1 month after launch (Dec 2005) and got the 3 rings of death last week (June 2007).

I am very dedicated to electronics so I know how to treat my gadgets.

Google "xbox360" and "failure" or "repair" and you find endless testimonies of people's 360 breaking.

It's not user error at all, it's hardware error plain and simple.

I use to persuade people to purchase xbox, but I will never again recommend such a shitty company producing a faulty system then doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to solve the problem.

They wanted to charge me $140 to "repair it". There are people on their 3rd, 4th, even 7th "repaired" console.

What a joke.

Oh and I went and bought an Elite 360 (the new black ones) thinking surely they would have solved the problem by now.

After 4 hours of gameplay it froze 3 times.

lmao. Brand spankin' new xbox and it freezes. So how is that user error?
