he bought his just a few months after launch, the second wave, and it's still not necessarily MS's problem. it might've been the game, maybe it overheated, but either way it could happen to all things with a hard drive.
Ya I have a 2 year warranty but I hope my machine lasts (at least until a few months before warranty runs up, so my replacement is most likely to be a revision 2
I got mine Nov.17, 2006, PS3 launch day, because they had an offer of Canadian$449 for Xbox 360 Premium + GRAW + XBLAUVol.1 + Ridge Racer 6 + Gears of War, how could I resist?
Well it crapped out again. I seriously dont think it was problems with the 360, i think it was the rented game from blockbuster. It would work fine until i put that game in. Now i have to send it in, thankfully its covered till the end of the month.
your 360 sounds like my old 1. I was trying to play nhl and it kept fucking up so i thought it was just nhl. I put in madden and it worked fine. Cleaned nhl, played a few games. Didnt turn on 360for a week BAM red lights. Then insert costco story here.
