i remember my psx disc drive crapped out a year after i got it.



there was no warranty extension for the notoriously bad disk drives, so i feel microsoft is taking much better care of it's customers than sony did.



an early adopter feeling shafted is never a good thing...

Halo is a very good game, just because you don't like the console there's no need to mock a game developer. But I agree xbox is *****.

microsoft was having such a hard time with these broken 360s that they ran out of boxes to ship to the consumers

anyone else think its weird when people say things like "had it since launch day and it still works great!" We shouldn't be happy or surprised that an electronic device hasn't broken down yet. We should expect that kind of quality.

Oh man, my BMW is still running great... had it for over 2 years. My TV is 8 months in and no probs... my computer is stretching the 2 year mark YEAAAAAHHHHH.

If I recall, you've modified yours...am I correct? I might be wrong but I thought you said at some point you added cooling and a case mod...in which case you would've fixed the issues that were inherent to the system.



I'm all for it working, but you shouldn't have to go through all that to keep it working. Kudos to you, I hope mine last without mods.

if your laser burnt out that quickly you must of had a mod chip in it. i had one for 4 years no probs. as for the ps2 if you actually knew anything theirs a little screw at the back of the drive(same size as the psp screws) and you turn it a quater of the way and it turns the laser power up. but then 360 or ps3, microsoft cant claim theirs is that cheap caus its not, 300quid for the premium then an extra 150 quid for the hd dvd drive, so microsoft saying sony are rip of merchants look at yourselfs, 33% rod ratio yeh right go microsoft

of course xbox 360 is too awesome to let something like a chance hardware failure stop people

Sony never had such a high failure rate like MS. If MS didn't take care of all those customers the way the have, they'd be in the *****s right now.



Every product has failure rates. But 33%, thats ridiculous, how do you even send a product out like that without even encountering any problems during testing.

I got the 360 on Nov 15 2006 and then on Febuary it broke down by then i already got my PS3 in January. so my 360 had a one month break.Then i turned it on and played Gears for a cuple hours.Then DUN DUN DUN red ring.I turned it in to microsoft.Then when i got i back a cuple weeks later i played it again and this time hte 360 only lasted two weeks.Now what im trying to say here is if the 360 breaks for a tird time im going to take a big $hit on it and tell Microsoft i want a full refund cuz the 360 sucks.My PS3 has been working for 9 months now with no problems!!!HAHA HAHAH 360 sucks!!!!
