Customer Review: Please do your homework before buying the xbox360…
Let me preface this review by saying that I was (and still am) in love with my 360. That is the problem. I bought my system about 1 year ago and like the other folks, I babied the thing (Seriously). This week I ran headlong into a system failure (RED RING OF DEATH) after 30 minutes of playing during the evening, in an air-conditioned house with good air circulation around the unit. I had been warned by a friend before that failure was “not a question of if but of when”. At the time I didn’t think it could happen to me, I babied mine. I was wrong. Since then, I have talked to 4 other people who are in the process of repair or who have had theirs repaired. Customer service has been horrible in response to this problem. They changed their policy starting 8/1/08 and no longer mail boxes out for repair. They now email a packing label. After 5 days and 4 phone calls, they are mailing a box. I thought about buying another to tide me over and then selling it on ebay. Look at ebay if you have time. They are being sold in excess, as people have bought extras when confronted with this problem and are trying to unload them. That is because the 360 has a problem. That is why they have set up a program to handle this issue and that is why people are selling them everywhere you look. Do you really want to plunk down 300+ for a machine, if it is going to fail… Who else could market a 300+ maching with such a design flaw and get away with it! At this point, I agree with my friend, failure is almost guaranteed. It is a joy to play, but to be left hanging for 3-4 weeks after it fails is a PAIN. My advice… Think twice about your purchase.
Customer Review: good while it lasted
the 360 is a nice system if it works beyond 1 year. many people hv experienced problem with their xbox360 after 1 year when the warranty expires. the problem is commonly known as the 3 lights of death. i hv 2 units that hv had this issue. this is supposedly caused by mechanical failure. microsoft is blaming the problem on people plugging their 360 into a surge protector. somehow plugging it into a surge protector makes the 360 work harder for power. whether that is true, u’ll be the judge. “BUY NOW”
