    My xbox died...!!

    Bloody three days into Left 4 Dead, and the bloody video card has died...sure, it's being replaced...and I'm borrowing a mate's xbox as replacement for a while - but damnit!!!! I thought Elites were better than the older ones, but obviously it's more of m$ and their badly made hardware...that's my second xbox repair now....arghh

    This is why I bought my [third] 360 from Best Buy; so I could get their 3-year warranty, which is only $30, that way if my XBOX ever ****s up I can just take it to them and they'll immediately give me a replacement. I'm not going to wait around for Microsoft to send me back a refurbished machine when Best Buy will give me a brand new one.

    It's not RROD but it is being replaced regardless...thank God....it's still a problem, because like some people here who this happened to after GTA4 came out, I was well looking forward to spending some time enjoying L4D, but damnit damnit damnit!!!!

    Dude, I know how this feels, and I also know how little sympathy you will get from some about this. My first xbox 360 ate not only GTA4, but Dead Rising as well, and then went to hell when I was playing my second copy of GTA4. Like Mike, I went to Best Buy and shelled out for their warranty when I recently got my new console. It's not that I hate xbox, but it is obvious to me that there must be something inherently wrong with their design given the widespread issues.

    This is true - but it's also the greatest in history...

    I still have my original 360, bought the day they came out...knock on wood...No problems yet...except that the vid cord came out a little once and caused a RROD but a push in the back and pop it was fine. I did install one of those madcatz fan things right away when the reports started to come in about the heat thing...I feel bad for all who have had an issue. Good luck with your rebuild.

    the PS1 holds that crown i think,back in '98 i didnt know anybody who didnt own one!visually its tailing behind the PS3 a bit as well,although probably not noticably to most console gamers.
    However,i wont be owning either the PS3 or the 360,as my PC wipes the floor with both of them after rubbing their noses in dog turds

    Ahhh the PC is better argument...all I can say to that is....well, enjoy it while it's in date. One thing i love about consoles, they have about 7 years in them...PCs have about 3 months...still, enjoy!

    Ps1 was great wasn't it? MGS, Wipeout, Resi Evil...great games, legends in their own right...they set the stone for gaming just like Dawn did for zombie movies...absolutely stunning...

    But I guess, it's been outclassed now, but if it wasn't for ps1, we would be playing philips CDis or something...lol
