Got mine in one of those Xbox 360 plastic bags, along with an Xbox Live folder for some reason. Stickers were in place on the discdrive and infrared thingie. Born on date: 2006-07-02. But none of this necessarily means it's new?
Chiggs said:Got my 360 back from McAllen last week. Get this:
1. Same serial number.
2. Different DVD drive (was a shitty Samsung, now an extremely quiet Hitachi).
3. System runs A LOT cooler. The difference is staggering.
If I was a braver soul, I'd crack the thing open and see what kind of modifications they did.
The Faceless Master said:my 360 is dying... it works for 2-15 minutes before locking up, then i get the xmas lights if i turn it off and on... if i leave it for a few hours it'll work again for a short while, then xmas lights again... i'm gonna try doing this since the symptoms seem to match up, and since i have a pre-launch 9every10minutes) unit it's obviously not under warranty anymore...
guess the saints row marathons were too much... and i just got the 20 hours achievement too...
DarkAngelYuna said:Well I just got off the phone with them and they claim to have sent my replacement yesterday.. however the tracking number they gave me doesn't work. HM
DarkAngelYuna said:What was your problem to begin with? I'm too lazy to read this thread..
madmook I want it to have the quieter (Hitachi?) drive. Sumumabitch....[/QUOTE said:The Samsung's are generally the quieter drives, but I personally feel they're less stable.
Chiggs said:I was getting dirty disc errors and the dvd drive's disc tray would occasionally get "stuck".
DarkAngelYuna said:Well the tracking number works.. turns out they shipped it today, not yesterday like they claimed. They also shipped it via 3 day which means not the overnight as promised by the supervisor.. once I'm more awake someone at the 800# will die.
Joeroll said:Wow, you got overnight shipping out of them? Well at least him telling you they would. I couldn't :\. My tracking number says I'm getting it on friday... after ALMOST a month. They need to make better shipping available. At least 2day shipping.
Chiggs said:The Samsung's are generally the quieter drives, but I personally feel they're less stable.
Grifter said:How so?
Chiggs said:My experience with the Samsung drives lead me to believe that they're more prone to dirty disc errors.
Forgotten Ancient said:Anyone with broken 360s have any luck getting anything "free" out of Microsoft? It really annoys me knowing that I'm paying for a Live account that I can't use because my system has been broken 3/4 of the duration of my subscription.
PGR3DarkAngelYuna said:Complain enough to get either PDZ, Kameo or some other crappy game for free, I don't remember which one it is at the moment.

DarkAngelYuna said:Omg what the hell is ups doing? Microshit sent my 360 back to me yesterday, it's supposed to come Friday. I live in nyc.. I go to track it just a minute ago and see

Lo-Volt said:Eek. My replacement 360 was just turned on, and it's fan sounds loud and rough when it used to be relatively silent. What does that mean?
Chiggs said:It means they changed the voltage on your fans. That's how they fix the "problem". Way to go, Microsoft!
Razoric said:Question, do 360s usually get really hot in the back?
Chiggs said::lol
Describe "hot".
Razoric said:When I touch it, its warmer than warm. :lol
Coffin Arrives....I call for a pickup as instructed....Except MS is cutting costs and the label they provided comes with a $10.00 charge for pickup + gas. I can either:
A) Eat the charge
B) Take it to a local UPS place
C) Find a UPS Truck and give it to him
Problems:
A) I dont carry cash and Im certainly not paying a charge, especially not a rediculous 10 dollar one
B) The only one is 20 miles away, in a town I hardly have even been in
C) Good luck.
I called microsoft but thanks to their outsourcing I got a guy who said:
"WELCA T XBOS CU SR"
I hung up. If I cant understand you then how are you supposed to address my problem, DAMNIT.
Razoric said:I have a dilemma...
Yesterday I finally got my 360 back after almost a month. I still havent done shit in Saints Row and have a lot of other games that I paid for that I'd actually like to play. Here's the problem... the 'new' 360 I got (date built: 1/6/2006) is obviously used and very roughed up.
1. it runs hot, hotter than my last one that broke
2. there is a crack in the vent on the side the harddrive attaches to
3. some of the little lights on the 360 power button seem to be burnt out or dont work
So basically, I bought a 360, 3 months later it breaks for no reason, now i get a used, busted up piece of shit that will most likely break again.
What are my options here? I don't want to send it out and wait ANOTHER month to play games I've already spent money on, but I'm not sure it should be satisfied with the piece of junk they sent me to replace my new system.
Anyone else run into this?

Son of Godzilla said:Here's what my big white bookend is doing:
I can start her up and mess around the dashboard fine. Can watch videos without a problem too. But when I start playing a demo or XBLA game it will lock up anywhere from immediately to a minute or two afterwards. No red lights, although it will occasionally freeze on the startup screen.
Edit: Heh, I just tried it again for the hell of it and it froze while my controller was rumbling and it kept rumbling. Yay.

They are showing pissed off moms on the phone with MS support because little Johnny and Billy's Xbox360 is not working.
The casuals are starting to take notice, the great class action lawsuit has begun!
