Comments on: Xbox 360 Freezing?

Today, I was all set to ply a game after a couple of hard weeks at work and was presented with the ring-of-death. Apparently they couldn't get it right in '08 either. Good Grief. Knowing about the heating issues with the design, this unit (and its power supply) lived flat in the open on a desktop. When I started having DVD drive issues again, I put it on end as it gets the drive to spin again (there are rubber feet to do this, right?) and plugged my controllers in to charge. Went to play a movie and three red lights. The only thing I can say nice is that they look fancy against the black case.

It can cause more damage than good and even when it works, it's works for about a week! Continually using it WILL damage your consoles internal hardware. HEAT + MOBO = Fried Console!! I speak from experience......Twice!! AVOID THE TOWEL TRICK!!! It can cause more damage than good and even when it works, it’s works for about a week!

Microsoft never bothered to design it properly, like the xbox 1. They sourced everything as cheaply as possible EVEN almost using the memory chips the Xbox 1 was lumbered with. My console has had 3RROD, 2RROD, e74 and some video issues BRAND NEW CLEAN OUT THE BOX!! So don't sit there talkin like you've got knowledge. Wait till your console breaks. Trust me, Microsoft will infuriate you to the point you put a hammer through it! And FYI most of the assembly IS DONE by machines designed by BETTER companies, who properly researched, designed and built them to do their jobs BEFORE selling them to the businesses they were intended for!!!!

I believe there is a correlation between the signals your brain transmits and how your device receives that transmission, dependent on negative or positive polarity.

There shouldn't be any fucking "lint" screwing up consoles, or maybe they just have a massive "lint problem", Do they have dust bunnies too?! If you had an Xbox for 4 years and didn't have one single problem...EVER...You are one very lucky bastard. They should be making every possible effort to NOT have any "assembly errors" whatsoever! No other company in the history of anything, having to do with game consoles or computer systems, has EVER had a higher failure rate (16% of 1000... 54% out of 5000!!). Sure they "fix" them for free, but they don't fix them.. They replace them! Which means you loose all of your data, unless you waisted $150 on a worthless hardrive.(game saves, player profiles, achievements) Which shouldn't be an issue in the first place! I would rather have my same Xbox repaired, than have one replaced so "I can get to my gaming as quickly as possible".(mocking tone) Xbox support doesn't even have a clue about what they're talking about either! When I was asking the idiot about my "repaired system" I asked her, "Is this the same console?" She said, "yes" I said, "But it has a different serial number.." She said "Yes?" I said "So, all of my save game data isn't on this Xbox..." She rather quickly replied, "Yes all of your game data should be on that Xbox. Mhmm, is there anything else?" And so I turn it on, and I tell her "This is a blank Xbox.. It is brand new none of my save game data is on this Xbox" She said "Mhmm, that it because it has a different serial number, and it is a different system." Like I am some kind of idiot. But in all honesty who is the idiot here? So, rather frustrated, I reply "So this Xbox has none of my information on it whatsoever." She replies "Mhmm yes all of your data should still be on there" In a small moment of silence, I sit there in awe of the audacity, and stupidity of what I had just heard, Staring at my TV screen. So in my final attempt at redemption I say calmly, "Ma'am... none of my data is on this Xbox.. Why can't I just have my original one sent to me?.." She akwardly answers my question with a.. "I'm sorry I don't understand what you are getting at, Is there anything else you would like to discuss?" I replied "I would like to discuss getting my original Xbox back instead this replacement" she replies "I'm sorry sir there is nothing more I can help you with, goodbye." And then.. of all things the bitch hangs up on me! That is ridiculous, an extraordinarily high failure rate and shitty customer service? I'm sorry Id rather stick with the PS3. (And for the "It's too hard for them to track your original Xbox" excuse.. I was on top of UPS the entire way [via the internet], which they can too.) point served.
