Over the weekend my brother came over and took my Xbox 360 away, why you might ask. Well it’s simple; I am fed up with the crashing and 3 red lights.
I have tons of games which will be given away as Christmas presents and I also own a PS3 and Wii, so that’s where my attention will go now.
I did love the 360, but I cannot be dealing with a faulty product that was sold with a over heating fault…also with many gamers writing comments on PR saying they have had many 360’s after repair, I am just cutting losses and moving on with my other 2 consoles.

“Lazy American’s”
I have had the RRoD twice, it took 3 weeks to get back both times and the coffin was over nighted to me. Great blogg superlazy person. I bet you weigh 290 pounds fat lazy american.
Foolish
I had the console 10 months before i got the RRoD, funnily enough the same week i purchased Halo 3, spent 5 minutes on xbox.com raising a hardware return call, printed out the UPS sticker, contacted UPS to come pick it up from my office, waited 4 weeks till it was returned in fully working order.
No hassle, no cost. True the console was sold under-developed but the free extended warranty and the problem free return process made up for it.
No, I think he’s just kind of stupid. This is obviously a slanted…biased…bunch of bullshit to fan the flames of hate and rile the PS3 owners to charge. And Daniel,(author of article that is…) you are an idiot, and I BET your fat.
Just my three cents…your new replacement would have been the improved version, but your not deserving of one anyways.
Happy to not see you and your like on Live anyways.
@Daniel
Stop using our internet or I’ll eat you. Stupid foreigner.
MS should have spent an extra perfecting the hardware and ironing out the reliability issues considering they’re now behind Wii anyways. Rushing out the system for the 1 year headstart was pointless.
i dunno Slice, haven’t seen any sales figures for worldwide markets since these http://n-europe.com/news.php?nid=11202 which have the 360 edging it, although more than likely the Wii will rule this xmas and leave the other 2 behind, until GTAIV that is.
Good point about the early release though, anyone else think that the 360 would of come out on top had M$ kept the console in testing for a few more months?
buy ps3 u idiot.it has 1 p.c hardware problem.
American’s may be fat, and they may be lazy, but we can still wipe every worthless human off the face of the planet with a push of a button.
The issue is not with the cost of getting it replaced. It is with the fact that he has to go through all that for a system that should work properly. Luckily he has a PS3. Go Sony!!!!
Well guess what, I live in the UK, I am far from fat and I guess you are happy buying products that break…or maybe its not your money that brought your 360.
