 360's aren't stable March 2, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My opinion of the Xbox 360 would be better had M$ not have rushed this out into the market, without thorough testing.
It's clear that they didn't test enough, because I know a guy who had to replace his 360 8 times due to the "infamous" RROD.
This will be my first and last 360 I buy, as I got the RROD, along with an E 79 error.
It's sad when you pay the amount you do for the system, only for it to go bad in less than a year of ownership. My old xbox is still running just perfect, yet the 360 is trash as compared to the old xbox.
Shame on M$ for unloading such an inferior gaming console to the masses. So Nintendo Wii or PS3 here I come.

Xbox 360 was a waste of my money on so many different levels! February 18, 2008

I've never owned a game system before and decided to purchase the Xbox 360 (with hard drive) as my first and ONLY gaming system. I purchased the console in December 2006 as a Christmas gift to myself and within six (6) months (by May 2007) my console started giving me trouble. These red lights started flashing - in three of the four quadrants, and after consultation with customer support and following the steps outlined by them, I was told I had to return the system to them for repair. Luckily for me it was still under warranty.
It is all fine and dandy that the product was under warranty and I did not have to pay to repair it, but I'm from the Caribbean, Barbados to be exact, and shipping from Barbados to the US to have my console fixed was US$60. In the end they could not repair the console and sent me a replacement unit - "free" of cost.
I received the replacement unit in July of 2007, had to pay US$100 to have the item shipped back to Barbados. The unit worked well for another few months and I was very contented with my gaming experience. NFL Madden '07 and Top Spin2 are favorites of mine.
In February of 2008 I experienced a different problem - the screen started to freeze. I e-mailed customer support and they sent me a string of e-mails as to how to maintain the harddrive, deleting user profiles and creating new ones and then an all too familiar problem arose - this replacement unit showed me three red lights! And like before I was told I would have to send my system to them for repair.
"Luckily for me", as I received the replacement unit in July, the warranty for the console is July 2008 and as such I won't have to pay for the unit to be repaired, but I will again have to pay shipping to have my item sent to the States and pay again to have it returned to me.
When I contacted customer support and expressed my concern over the expense relating to me having to have my unit repaired (not due to any fault of mine) it was brushed aside and communicated to me that if the prescribed steps to fix my console did not work I would have to send it for them to repair.
To me this is totally unacceptable! I purchased a game console in good faith and after collectively spending thousands of dollars in both gaming system, games (which can only be played on the Xbox 360) and repairs,I feel as if I have been cheated and robbed. What would the point be in having the unit sent for repair for them to send me a replacement unit or if possible, fix and return the currently destroyed unit. It would make more sense to cut my losses now and never purchase a Microsoft gaming product EVER again! If I continue at this rate there will come a time the product is no longer under warranty and I'll have to pay for repairs to the system.
I'm an extremely disappointed customer. Money does not grow on trees and I work hard for my money. If Microsoft is unable to produce an experience for customers to enjoy without hassle of repairs and maintenance, which is due to no fault of mine, they should pull out of the market. I will now detail the moneys I have LOST, as a result of Microsoft and their Xbox 360 (prices quoted in US$)

Now you can see why the Xbox 360 has been a waste of my money. Based on the experiences stated above I am unable to give this product more that one (1) star out of five (5).
Dissapointed, frustrated customer who can't believe he was duped into investing over US$1,300 in a gaming system which doesn't work!

Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive
Consider buying something else February 9, 2008

This product worked for exactly 24 hours, then the hard drive blew. It took weeks - and an Amazon intervention - for the company to take back the faulty item, and our account was just credited a week ago, nearly two months after we originally received the item. May want to consider a different gaming system, as this problem apparently is pretty common.Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive (with HDMI)
