| Yeah, it happend. April 6th, 11:00 pm. My xbox let me down again. Just like always Microsoft is there to repair, but it's not the same anymore. This is my 7th repair, yeah, 7th!!! If it's not red rings, it's the disc tray. I don't mind getting it fixed for free, but thats only if its getting fixed. I've had a xbox core system since the day the system was released and thats what they "repair" and send back to me. I want an elite god damnit, and shouldn't have to pay for one because my previous xbox investment turned shit. Don't get me wrong, I love the xbox community, but the hardware reliability sucks. Good thing is I bought a back up 360 last time mine broke. | |

| Yeah, I can't believe 7 times! The repairs are obviously not working and I'm losing faith. It would save microsoft money to just send me an elite, instead of shipping my system across country and back every 2 months! I wonder what the most repairs done on one account is? It can't be to much more than 7. I'm gonna check on overnighting it, cus I need my system back for GTA. The backup system I'm using now works, but the disc try only opens 1 out of 50 tires, so I don't want to open it much, in case I'm forced to play GTA on this! | |

Yea I wish they would fix their flaws. 360 is so close to being a flawless system. If mine had broken 7 times I would have given up on it. haha. I'm getting a PS3 soon so I won't have to worry about it tearing up. | |

| My 360 is problem free. I've owned several of them and have never had one crap out or turn red. Actually, one of my 360's runs 8 hours a day 7 days a week and has yet to have a problem.
Knock on wood... | |

| Well, I was told that the situation has been escalated and I would get a call from a repair and replacement agent. The shipping box arrived, but no call from agent. I called xbox back and they said not to send my system in until the replacement agent called. I hope I can get a system that works! And if they have to repair mine, I will try to get it over nighted... If i ever get the call.. | |

Yeah, It looks like that cold be what happens.. The Xbox rep. said they don't replace systems with new, even after 7 repairs. He also said theres no way I could pay to speed up the process. If I'm lucky I'll get it back on the 28th. My other xbox does work, but has a good chance of scratching/ruining my discs. So, I might be looking for a new system. Didn't I see a post somehwere about a GTAIV Elite, kinda like the halo3 elite? | |

| That is really awesome of your cousin. Also Niko, the Elite is only about £250 after the price drop, or ask MS for one for all of your troubles. | |

I tried and tried, but they won't budge. They swear up and down that the repair will replace all the inside hardware, but I think it's bull. 7 repairs, and I take damn good care of my system! I just hope I get it back before the 28th, or yeah, I will buy an elite. | |

| Damn that sucks to hear about xbox failing cuze now im gonna be thinking about it till release, at least I havent had 360 problems before, except for it getting stolen right after I got it two weeks after its release date, and it took forever to finally get one again. | |

| Alright, I just got my 360 back from repairs, I must say that xbox does show thier value as a customer. Even thogh their early hardware was funky, they are paying the price for agents that see your repair through. I told them I would be be pissed if my box wasnt back in time for GTA (wich I thought was impossible) but here I sit with my xbox 10 days still to go.. | |

| Aw shit, I've had that before and sent my system in for repairs. But it said unplayable disc on every game and dvd. Good luck, if it dosnt work, call microsoft and tell them you got the red rings, they should renew your warranty or somthing. | |

| Well I tried the DVD cleaner and I think it's pretty much a goner. Oh well, I'm going to see if I can get an Elite by the end of the month(paydays rock!).
I got a question though....I just got a new subscription of Xbox Live Gold and I was wondering will I still have my Xbox Live Gold on the new machine? I'm not sure how that works. | |
