Anyone else having console problems?

[Homer]

I have had to send my son's 360 back to microsoft twice now. I just got it back and had to call them back the same day. It's really frustrating to pay that much for a console and microsoft have it more than we do. Has anyone else had similar issues?

[Ponder416]

Nope sorry, my first hard drive was defective but that was it.

[Homer]

Oh Yeah had to replace the hard drive once on the same unit also

[ONI 23]

Sorry mate, I have had 0 problems with my system (knockin' on wood).
So far so good.

Ask etalien on this forum , he's currently at war with Microsoft because they lost his harddrive after he sent it to them for the 2nd time. You're probably just having some bad luck Homer. The only thing that could be on your end is some power fluctuations on your outlets, or your xbox isn't properly ventilated. Those are the only things i can really think of.

Keep us posted please

No major problems aside from a serious GRAW addiction here, sorry to hear yours. Good look with them.

Just got the three flashing red lights yesterday..... a buddy called me up wanting to play graw and when I tried to play it kept freezing up then it just totally quit working. Called m$ and they told me that having the console sitting on carpet would make the lights come on So I placed it on my dresser with nothing around it and it still didnt work!!! There suposed to be sending me a box to place it in and ship it back to them....anybody know how long this will take??? I just hope its back in time for battlefield

Mine's off to MS too,
UPS picked it up topday.
Think its got some heating problems cause it kept freezing while playing.
Oh well, nothing but good news from the MS service station (not entirely true, etalien is an exeption ). As long as it dont happens after this and they send it back quick i dont have a problem.

I hate it that I'm the only one with problems, mine is gone for a month now, and they forgot to send back the harddrive and poweradapter. They blame me for this because I didn't label them seperately They didn't tell me to do that at all Just placed it all in one box.

Anyway, I can't buy a seperate Poweradapter with them, and since they've lost my previous and they keep saying it takes another '2 or 3 weeks' before they might know something more, they today gave me the option to buy a COMPLETELY NEW Xbox 360 Premium for 400 euro's

Stupid fucks!

Mine's been working flawless since Dec 2nd

[Chris]

lol, i put in a description in my package in 3 different languages, Dutch, English and German, i printed that 3x and ducktaped one on my console, one on my harddisk and one on top of the box, they must be really stupid to fuck that up then I've had bad experiences with this kinda problems (acer laptop went to germany too and came back without a power adapter, it still isnt here, sound familiar?) and since then i make sure my package is fool-proof and there is no useless stuff inside my package (like the power adapter wich i did not have to send).

haha, should be ok then

I'm getting a new one today or tomorrow, I've spoken with some high-high boss after 2 weeks of calling to the call center He said he was going to send it to me personally, and he was so sorry I've been waiting so long

[Rival24]

You should have gotten that answer 2 weeks ago Do you get a free game?

I was considering to write an editorial about this, but since the problem is kinda resolved it's not funny anymore

Just call them at least once a day, put some pressure behind it

Btw, I'm still waiting for the UPS to show up, still no tracking mail

I've never had console issues with Microsoft. Sony... well... don't get me started. But by any chance, Homer, is your Son's 360 vertical (standing up) or horizontal (lying down). Mine is horizontal and I have no problems. However, one of my friends does, and his is vertical.

Semi Thread Jacking.

I was just talking about this with a guy from EBgames; he said to run it vertical. Now I have a problem with this since my 360 ate my call of duty disc. Plus every 360 you see in pics or at stores is vertical so could somebody let me in on the issue?
