My 360 is on its way!

[Kage]

I should get my Xbox 360 back tomorrow!!!

I just checked the tracking with UPS, and its in transit apparently! So happy.

I've missed my 360 so much

I really have though... even though its the most unreliable console imaginable, I would never get rid of it now.

I just hope this one works for longer than a few months (Mine lasted about a year and a half before conking out...). Guarantee ends soon too for the 3 years apparently in May.

If it did die again, I'd probably go and buy a new Premium with a HDMI port...
though most likely, I'll connect it back up to my monitor up here with my surround system, and Internet availability straight away.

EDIT:

Its around 1 hour 35 minutes away from my house as of 11pm tonight... I should get it tommorow...

How is it the most unreliable console imaginable...I know loads of people that haven't had a single problem. Including me. I love my 360.

You seriously haven't heard of all the people having problems with it?

I know 3 people with 360s who have had the RRoD.

^ It was one the local news station the other night,there have been that many problems its not funny,Anyway I have a PS3 So im all good

PS3 FTW!

 

[freestyler105]

I know about that, but either you have a good console or a bad one, and if yours is bad, exchange it...so what? That's why you spend $20 on your $400 console and actually get the warranty...

 

[Neodude1123201]

Yes,But i would rather pay $600 for a console that has a good reliability rate.

 

[freestyler105]

And I'd rather pay less for a console with better games. To each his own.

 

[MikeReiner]

And I'd rather PS3 fanboys shut their trap when they hear anything about the 360.

The PS3 will get decent games soon enough.

 

[freestyler105]

All that matters is GTA IV is coming out for Xbox at the same time as PS3. I can't wait...

Well, I don't care! My Xbox is back as of a few minutes ago!

Its the same one, as it has the same markings, like a scratch on the DVD plate, haha.

I also got a free 1 month subscription to XBOX Live Gold! Wasn't expecting that!

Now to test if it works!

Checking the letter, it has a tick under the 'motherboard' box of what went wrong with it (so the whole thing went basically, haha), saying that it has been replaced, and then tested and passed a 2 hour visual test + passed the diagnostic tests they do on them.

EDIT:

I've never had a console go on me this early, and was never expecting the 360 to die on me, but it did.

My Sega Dreamcast died just before its 5 year warranty my mum and dad put on it at a local retailer all those years ago that we got for one christmas present, and got it fixed, haha.
The shop semed very reluctant even after we showed them a receipt (as they were sort of laughing when we told them we had a 5 year, and they'd have to fix it, thinking we'd of lost the reciept so they wouldn't have to take it),
but thats working to this day (even if it has gone a little yellow (no one smokes...)

But yeah, recently, I've heard a lot of bad things about retailer warranties and how the extra 3-5 years isn't always worth it anymore.
