I dont know if it just me but this month has seen a huge amount of early & late model 2006 360s $#!tting themselves. I have had a lot of enquiries for repair and stickers for warranty. I have been joking to my mates that their machines are about to die and they actually do the next day. Soon they say to me that they have frozen up they drop off a day or so later. I have just been giving out the xbox repair service phone number for the past couple of weeks solid. I want nothing to do with M$ crappy manufacturing!!
Its no longer a joke but a fact about the lifespan of the 360 8 -15 months. I dont know how long M$ are prepared to replace thousands of machines without effecting their business profit margin.
Has anyone noticed the higher amount of death rates recently?

Crikey, and i thought it was just me! Having modded over 300 boxes in the last year, i'd only had one die in that time. So far this week, i've heard of two that have died with "general hardware failure" I'm hoping this isn't going to continue, hoping that it's just coincidence and bad luck.

All my friends list start from launch and everyday the past week they are dropping like flies. I know each machine and the manufacture date and I predicted they would die and they have each day this week. The public have been increasing with enquires for repair in the past month. Just I'm a little surprised with the sudden increase and is really concerning. I have told each person to demand warranty from M$ as it is a growing problem. Half still have warranty and others just outside the one year.
I not a alarmist or have ever flamed the 360 in anyway before, always a loyal supporter and have converted many people to the original xbox & the 360. But this just can't keep going on in this direction.
The funniest thing is I have a regular flow of Ps2 slimlines each day.

Our launch was Feb last year and now seeing the true extent of the problem. My 360 is still running fine but it is a June 06, has a xcm fan and has not been in the case since I have owned it. I know that I most likely only have several months left but hope for the best. I have seen my model breaking down lately as well...
Warning: If mine dies action will have to be taken through the local media....as I have a large group of people wanting to vent their anger!!!

No, this is not good. I have had 5 X360 and 1 of them was 2006-09-XX this month come into my shop with 3ROL. My SMD rework station has been running HOT HOT HOT! This is not good enough in my opinion. As compared to PS2 slim faliure rate, I think X360 is fast catching up. I am only getting PS2 that are SCPH70002 come back occasionaly. The newer slims are fine. People paid AU$250 for the SCPH70002 VS AU$495 for base X360. Now PS2 77002 is AU$189 + near zero faliure so far. PICK UP YOUR GAME MICROSOFT!

With ps2 I have no failure rates on newer models I rather have a influx of people buying them to be modded.
Yeh, Sony dumped their ps2 70002 quickly when it started blowing lasers and redesigned their boards. M$ needs to do the same quickly but no real evidence of this has not been seen.

make sure you use another gamer tag. It appears they have banned people on new consoles using old gamer tags that were used on hacked firmware.

Didnt they say your gamertag will be still alive? When you didnt modify your machine you will win on court! |

I dont think so. My account works fine on my new box. And anyways, if they banned accounts what would be the insentive to get people to buy new boxes. |

Just to be on the safe side was the only reason to set up a new gamer tag as you dont know what info they are collecting for bans. Looks like a quick way to boost sales while the Ps3 gets deeper in the SH#@t.
I would just be cautious until more info becomes known about the process...dont just assume anything at the moment.

The only one I've seen the guy had bought a refurb from a local gamestore and the M$ rep told him when he called it was a 2nd hand box that had been sent in for ROD repair, so it was probably flashed before it ROD'd and was sent back to M$ and repaired and the shop sold it to him. They did nothing to unban that box too, so I would not buy a refurb. EDIT: http://forums.xbox.com/12615311/ShowPost.aspx |
