Hey nice sig!

You should have time to get it fixed before the game releases, no?

I don't know about in the US, but here in Germany they now have the repair pipeline streamlined to the extent that it takes 5 working days (from the day the courier picks up the parcel to the day he drops it off again) to get an Xbox 360 fixed. Where by "fixed" I mean "get the motherboard replaced". You don't even have to deal with a person – not even on the phone: You can do it all via a web form.

Of course, none of this should be happening in the first place, but at least they've now got their act together with fixing it. :-|

Also, if you get your motherboard swapped out now, you ought to get an Opus board if your Xbox doesn't have HDMI, or a Jasper board otherwise, so you ought to be more RRoD-resistant in future.

ps3 is far better just wait till gt5 is out that will be the turning point and ps3 will wipe the floor
ps3 is more reliable as in the only known problems are the Blu ray breaking and the hard drive corrupting the second of the problems is home repairable
just my opinion

Worst things is - you don't get YOUR console back. You get some other poor suckers who RRoD'd. So it's a lottery as far as which brand DVD drive you end up with (some are noiser than others, i'm not sure which though).

Lately they've been repairing the console you send in.

The last one I sent in I marked with a sharpie and copied the serial #, I got the same one back.

Another reason I refuse to jump to PS3 is PSN. It just can't compete with Xbox Live

Thats one of the reasons I own a PS3 instead of an Xbox, is the free PSN. For me anyway. I don't play all day or even everyday. I just couldn't justify paying to play online games that I could be playing for free on either the ps3 or the PC.

The best part is, Microsoft is telling me that my warranty has expired yet I'm fairly confident that they extended everyones' by three years. WTF, MICROSOFT?!?!?!

This is nearly as bad as when I found out Happy Days was canceled.... 4 days ago!!!

But seriously... this blows; hardcore.

Sorry to hear that.

As I once said to Lord-Tuinboy,

I am sorry your Xbox died in the feild of gaming.

I feel how weak and fruitless of any words of mine that would attempt to beguile you from the greif of a loss so overwhelming.

I can only say that you should be proud that your Xbox sacrificed itself to keep you happy and entertained for all these wonderful years.

...piece of crap!

I have never heard a more beautiful way of consoling a fallen Xbox... tears came to my eyes

Seriously. And, to the guy in Germany, it is fairly fast here, but they are saying that my warranty is expired so i would have to pay 100 freaking dollars!!! That is RIDICULOUS!!

The reason I don't go to PS3 is:

A) I have no money

B) I like XBL

C) GT5 isn't that great compared to Forza, IMHO

D) I have no money

I'll be thinking about getting a PS3 when I get my income taxes back. But a TV is #1 on the wishlist.

Same here, i got my console in 06 and my standerd warranty expird 07 but they said that the warranty was for 3 years with the 3 red flashing lights. But they still want $99 and my credit card No. That dont sound right.
