PLAYRZ Donating Members 333 Member For: 20y 11d Gender: Male Location: VIC Posted 05/10/07 02:43 AM Share Posted 05/10/07 02:43 AM I've had mine nearly a year and had no dramas. Hopefully I wont in the future either!The infamous "Red Rings of Death" is very common with the earlier consoles. I got my 360 on release day and got a good 14-16 months from it before it died. Microsoft now cover the console for this type of failure for 3 years, so it should give you some piece of mind. The service I received from Microsoft was exceptional. They paid for my consoles shipping to and from repair and it was done within 48 hours. I also received a letter of apology and 1 month free Gold XBL membership. I couldnt ask for more than that.

Lets hope the wii dies in the arse because cheap gaming spells the death of the industry IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
