The warrantee is only 3 years for rrod. This problem isn’t covered under the extended 3 years, so you’re gonna have to pay for the repair. I had the same issue myself, and it’s certainly not covered.
Oh, and if someone has had 6 units, then they ARE doing something wrong. where are you placing the power supply? How closed in is the unit? Is there a radiator within 3 or 4 metres of the unit? etc?

Fuck You Microsoft!
What the hell are all of you doing to your 360s to make them fuckup so frequently!?
I have had 2 360s and both of them still work just fine, I have taken them to many ppls houses and brought them back again and never had one porblem with them... period
We never did anything to them. When we’d get them back from MS, we’d put it on the shelf and not move it... just so it wouldn’t break again. They all lasted between 1 day and 2 weeks... I blame MS for not giving us a NEW xbox.. and continuing to give us refurbished pieces of SHITE!!!!
Unless we had some kind of strange electromagnetic field around our house that ONLY affected our xbox... then I blame MS. My PS3 worked fine... and my brother was later got brand new xbox elite that seems to work alright for now.
I must say, a single PS3 for $4-500 is a better deal than being forced to buy a second $400 xbox system.
Microsoft and their inferior hardware can burn to the Fing ground!!!
How would you be forced to buy a second Xbox 360?
While I understand that no one “twisted” our arm to buy another system, just like no one is “forced” to buy an xbox, period.
But what I mean is, to get an actual working xbox, we were forced to buy a second system... because MS refused to fix their mistake.

Um, just like sony, ninty, and every other major company in the world, the goal is to make and save money, MS is doing pretty much what sony and many others would do, try to save money by simply fixing the problem then loosing 400 dollars.
See, when something is promised, to at the very least function, and it does not do as advertised (like turn on) then that is called false advertising.
And when they do not give you the proper product that you exchanged for your money, then it is called stealing.
MS took our $400 and never gave us a working product.

Everything fucks up, thats why there are replacement/repair programs, you’res turned on and worked for a while, but the hardware was faulty and broke, and it was repaired for free, (even if the repair was done poorly by the cheap labor paid to do the work) You were given a working product and if you really had it repaired six times, you were saved $840 from ms due to the free warranty given. In reality ms has spent more money on you then you spent on the xbox.
well the repair fees were initially made to pay the people repairing the console,s but they weren’t doing a good job and it was happening frequently enough that is was pissing off costumers, so they pulled the plug on the price and ms now loses money in another area to pay the people badly repairing consoles. So MS is loosing money each time a console is repaired.

Just put the big brick on top of it and it will Red Ring. Just don’t make sure you have a disk in there.

interesting, my brother plays his 24/7 for 3 whole months
and nothing ever happened
apparently theres a new 360 that doesnt red ring
and he got one
The new ones have less chance of it red ringing. But you can still force it to red ring or it can red ring if you are careless.

worked for a while? worked for less than a week. The replacements also worked for much less than a week... sometimes only a day. Then we had to wait a month while MS pretended to do something about it. They didn’t save me any money if I we never got to play it.

They did actually, if you had sent it in you got a repair, it normally would cost 140$
And thats probably the pissed off cheap labour angry about their lower payment, rumored to be part of the reason MS now has it’s repairs and consoles built the same one sony has theres built by.
And MS wanted to return you a working product... it would save them the money of not needing to pay for it to be fixed again.
As said, for it to red ring 6 times, you’re doing something wrong, probably plugged into a surge protector or something.
