My Xbox has just died in warranty by 1 week mind.

Its beeing picked up tomorow, not the RROD but machine was failing to read disks (not modded in any way)

Just wanted to know if anyone has sent anything back to MS before as would hate to be without it over Xmas

I have sent mine off before due to RRoD and it has taken between 2-3 weeks

This is a key reason why you dont get Xboxs!
Always breaking on ya!
My brothers broke on his a few weeks back and i hid my ps3 pads so he couldnt use mine :LOL:
But tbh he sent it off and I think he got it back within 2 weeks.
UPS are good for something!

People may be misled to believe the xbox is better, but atleast PS3s work. :P

PS3's break too.

My Xbox just broke, 1st time since December 5th 2005. It really doesn't happen as often as the press make out.

At least Microsoft are big enough to admit there is a problem and offer a free repair. Sony charge something like £120 to fix the "Yellow light of death".

Why does everyone think that if someone argues that a console is better, much like they do a football team, a car, and internet provider, and any number of other things, they muct be a fanboy?

That's not true, the amount of people with the YLOD is quite high and was even highlighted in a recent watchdog program.

Microsoft are big enough to stand up and admit that there is a problem with their early units and offer a 3 year guarantee and free repair on them. Regardless of what console you have you can't say that this isn't excellent practise for a corporation the size of Microsoft who are generally seen not to give a ****.

i would gloat but i'm on my second PS3 since i first bought one October 2008, it had problems in November that same year, wouldnt read blu-rays

the one i have now crashes fairly frequently

every time i play FIFA and go on an online mode it'll crash at the menus virtually every first attempt, then i have to quit and start again (i don;t have any further problems after that with FIFA)

MW2 crashes occasionally (3 times so far in the 2 weeks i've had it)

none of my other games crash

sometimes the web browser crashes but i think that's just a compatibility issues with the web browser and the websites.
