2 things are wrong with this
1) i dont expect anyone that uses this to know how to operate a 360 2) youd think theyd be happy wit the default color of a 360..it aint like its a ps2

I got mine at launch, and it rarely locks up, but hasn't eaten any disks or anything. 10/23/2006 12:34:22 AM |
cyrion All American 27139 Posts user info edit post |
same. freezed a couple times in the past year or so, but nothing major. oblivion had some issues, but im guessing it was the extremely long times of playing or something. 10/23/2006 6:34:46 AM |
seedless All American 27142 Posts user info edit post |
my launch 360 has never once froze on me
this is what i did when i very first got - i let it run idle over night, ie, i did not play any games and i only set up my dashboard when i very first got it. in my opinion, just throwing a game right into a brandnew system and not 'breaking in' your 360 is a bad idea. 10/23/2006 8:20:35 AM |

I have the exact same story from about a week ago except my new one has some graphics glitch. I get white bars all over the screen after playing for a while. Calling them again today.10/23/2006 10:44:42 AM |

UPDATE
called microsoft today, they asked me had i plugged it into a surge protector (the new one)
and i was like yep
and they said that was a major no-no, seein as how that behemoth of a power supply is ALREADY a surge protector (he says it says not to do this in the manual, but who reads that)
anyways, they are sending me another prepaid box for round two ( ) 10/23/2006 6:10:07 PM |
guitarguy All American 8118 Posts user info edit post |
why would you not plug it into a surge protector? 10/23/2006 6:17:44 PM |
SipnOnSyzurp All American 8923 Posts user info edit post |
yea sounds ridiculous to me
dunno but both the tech and his supervisor were adamant about the fact that it was designed to be plugged directly into the wall
and reading a few xbox forums say that the techs have told them the same thing, or rather that they may have used it as an easy excuse for their incompetent hardware they sell for $400 10/23/2006 6:51:18 PM |
cyrion All American 27139 Posts user info edit post |
well if it is in the manual you really cant fully fault them. they make those things for a reason. 10/23/2006 7:16:45 PM |
Mr E Nigma All American 5450 Posts user info edit post |
from an xbox 360 forumn
Quote : | "If you read the directions closely, they don't say to not use it. They word it the way they do because people are idioits. They say to plug it into the wall. Then below that they say that if you are going to use a surge protector that you should be sure that the surge protector can handle the amount of amps that are being drawn through it. The problem is, people plug all their crap into the same surge protector, all on one circuit: HDTV Xbox 360 7.1 Stereo Sub Woofer Router Modem PC PC monitor lamp
That's way too much for one surge protector, and way too much for one wall outlet, one circut. Half of that is too much. " |

cyrion All American 27139 Posts user info edit post |
heh yeah, im that dumbass well i put the tv straight to the wall, but the receiver, sub, xbox, cable box, and wireless adapter all go to the protector. guess the pc makes a big difference on your list though.
[Edited on October 23, 2006 at 9:06 PM. Reason : though now that i compare lists, mine isnt so bad (tv/monitor/pc are biggest im guessing)] 10/23/2006 9:05:20 PM |
Mr E Nigma All American 5450 Posts user info edit post |
I have 2 surge protectors coming out of the wall.
One of them has my 360, and the DVD player (since that usually is off and running very low amounts of current)
the other has the Plasma tv, cable box, routers, and PSP charger 10/23/2006 10:07:09 PM |
SipnOnSyzurp All American 8923 Posts user info edit post |
the surge that mine was on had:
receiver, cd changer, dvr cable box, and 360 hooked up
anyways when i get this one back it's goin straight to the wall
and if it fucks up again, it's bye 360, hello ps3 10/24/2006 12:02:50 AM |

you say hello ps3 like it prolly wont have the same issues
there have been reports of ps3 overheating, not to mention ps2 had the same issue at their launch
its just one of those cases where "shit happens"
at least microsoft is manning up and sending out 130 checks and extending warranties 10/24/2006 9:58:35 AM |

I recently joined gamefly. The 4th game I ordered never came, told them, got another one sent that I received. Then I sent 2 back on the same day and have not received anything back from Gamefly saying they have received them (been a week). I think my mailman is stealing my games.
Sucks, but I guess I'm going to have to cancel the account. 10/24/2006 10:00:10 AM |
