I got problem with the three red lights I guess because overheat and cooling system deficiency
Got a 2nd 360 while the other was being repaired. now can play my bros from a different room online. bought system used and is good as new.
I ordered my X-box 360 Elite for a Christmas gift. It quit working. It was delivered on time, and all was well. Until today, January 8, 2009. I have a very unhappy teenager on my hands. What am I to do now.
Well.it finally happened to me. So, it's the holidays now and I have gifts people have gotten me that I will not even be able to use. Three to be exact.
I got the Elite Console just over a year ago thinking that it would be above that problem but.no. I guess if I don't do everything EXACTLY like they tell me, they won't fix the box. I read all the reviews about the dreaded "Red Rings of Death", but still wanted the 360.
I called customer support, got a number and directions to mail the box in. I was playing NCAA Football 09 and it froze just today. I turned it off, turned it back on, and.red ring.
So they agree it's their problem, but treat me like I did something.nice. Customer support told me I would not have the console back for 4-5 weeks.
Before you buy this unit google "xbox 360 red ring of death." Some estimate the failure rate at 33% for these units. This product is junk. Another example of Microsoft releasing a product to market before it is ready. I had the red ring with an E74 error code (you can google that too), and even though my unit was less than one year old Microsoft told me that it would not be covered by warranty, but I could have the privilege of paying them $100, in advance, to send them my unit and have them send me a refurbished unit within 6 weeks (I'm sure the refurbished unit would last a nice long time too).This link is to an article about the latest preventable defect with this unit: http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/microsoft-faces-new-xbox-360-reliability-accusations/1274293I'm giving this unit one star only because I cannot figure out how to give it no stars. Buy a PS3 instead.
