nooooooo. I had that it was bad, I sent my 360 away to get it fixed/replaced and it took a while, good thing is they reset the red ring warranty once you get it fixed.

Lol, red rings...

If my preferred gaming machine breaks down, I just replace the part in question that died (although most of the time it's just not seated properly...)

PC forever! \,,/

Yes, that's the great thing about PC's... you only have to replace one bad component (usually.)

Cyberman, A Lot Of Things Cause The Red Rings. But Certain Things Abou Rings Have Certain Fixes. The Ones I Got, Again, Need To Be Repaired Properly By Microsoft Themselves. Some Just Need Dust Hoovered Out.

You're lucky...my friend had that other problem that's related to the red rings, but you don't actually get red rings, so the three-year warranty doesn't cover it =/

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from telling them you got red rings ¬_¬ But we learned that trick too late =(

This kind of thing is why I haven't bought a 360 in the first place. Who do microsoft think they are, releasing a console before they finished it? The Wii wouldn't have been even half as popular as it *was* if it wasn't finished before it was released, so why does everyone tolerate this crap from Microsoft? I don't have an answer to that question, but I do know that I won't even bother buying a borked console.

I considered getting one when I was flipping through the catalogue of lion-eating games that were planned for it, but then I realized that all of the games that were actually worth my time would be quickly ported to pc, so I thought, "Why bother? I can wait a few extra months to play the games on my superior $800 miracle machine."

Not trying to be an as*hole to the console gamers, but to be blunt, no console will ever surpass a machine that can access the internet forums, instant message 5 different friends on steam, play AC/DC for background music, and run your favorite video game all at once at a blistering 80 frames per second (with better graphics to boot.)

Because many feel they "have to." Microsoft is a semi-monopoly. They control way too much of the market. They know that people are going to buy their stuff regardless of how sh***y they make it, so they don't have any incentive to care.
