This is absurd. I know about 15 people now who's 360's have broken on them and had to be sent back, about 3 in real life. THis is just ridiculous. IGN also said 5 out of their 6 360's have broken.

Well tonight mine broke as well ...

Proof 1
Proof 2

If yours has broken, post when you purchased/received yours.

I had mine on November 16th, 2005. It lasted me until today and now it's fvcked.

Mine started locking up a bit when I got the outfit. Luckily I got it from SAMs so I can just take it back for a complete refund if I feel like it heh. That sucks about the QC (or lack thereof) though. :(

Weren't you the guy who cried about not winning some contest for the 360 after having already won one?

This, along lack of enough games and weak xbox1 compatibility, is why I'm waiting for at least the first revision before buying one.

Meanwhile I have the PC version of Oblivion waiting for this weekend when I have time to put together my A64 X2 / nv 7900 rig.

I cried when cheaters took spots above mine, then I ended up winning when they DQ'ed the cheaters.

This is sad that 2/5 people so far have had to return their 360 cause it broke ...

I've never had a problem with mine...

This should be in the official thread as well.

it is, but i want a count of people on here who's has broken on them. it's a lot easier with a poll than on a thread that has almost 2K replies to find out who's is broken.

Mine was all good and dandy until the burnout revenge auto update and cars were available on the marketplace last week.

it would be sad of software could screw up the hardware ...

but yah i'll probably play some halo 2 or something on my normal xbox heh.

I've had mine since launch day, 11/22/05...

(On the positive side, MS is going to fix/replace it, even though it's out of the warranty period. I got the packaging today from MS, and am sending it out tomorrow.)

I dunno if mine is broken, but I have started to see some frozen translucent graphics on screen while playing halo 2 on it (kinda like a plasma burn in). Anybody know what it could be? BTW, my tv is a tube tv and not plasma or lcd.

WTF? How short is the warranty? I would expect at least a year.

Warranty is 90 days from the date of purchase in the US. Same as it was with the first Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, etc.

Sent mine back to MS 2 days ago. I bought my console on release date and the guy said my warranty was good until the end of next month. Looks like they extended the warranties to 6 months.
