Microsoft - Good with software but horrible with hardware Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 25/03/2011 02:50:28 AM
My 4th Xbox 360 just broke down. No red ring of death this time but broken all the same. It keeps freezing up on me. And yes I have tried all the possible solutions-take out the hard drive, clear the system cache, disconnect from live, has proper ventilation, etc.

Goodbye Xbox 360. You're not worth the money anymore (no more warranty).

Only 1 of them was replaced Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 01:11:45 PM 747 Views
I wouldn't even say they're that good at software. Fox and Ravens - 25/03/2011 04:33:33 AM 760 Views
I hear all these horror stories.... Kronin al'Sulc - 25/03/2011 07:20:08 AM 891 Views
Mine's still going strong. ... But for how long? *NM* lord-of-shadow - 25/03/2011 01:40:01 PM 346 Views
Mine's about 3 years old, and j-whitt987 - 25/03/2011 01:46:42 PM 750 Views
Replaced my first one in '09 after it red-ringed. Now... KingGeedorah - 25/04/2011 09:33:10 AM 764 Views
I've never had a problem with mine Sir Tybalt - 28/03/2011 07:23:59 PM 900 Views
I'm a 1990s Nintendo kid. I don't understand consoles breaking. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 07:08:05 PM 366 Views
I have to agree, you could drop a NES off of the roof and it'd still work *NM* Jim - 25/03/2011 11:12:07 PM 386 Views
Same thing with Gameboys. My old Gameboy pocket has fallen down the stairs etc, for countless times Bergioyn - 26/03/2011 12:56:35 PM 744 Views
My First Gen DS is still perfectly fine. j-whitt987 - 26/03/2011 01:28:11 PM 687 Views
Yep, these things are unbreakable. Bergioyn - 26/03/2011 01:58:21 PM 706 Views
So long as you blew into it and breathed on the cartridge connection... TaskmasterJack - 27/03/2011 04:27:22 AM 718 Views
My n64 still works though I have to wiggle the wire for like 5 minutes before it displays picture. Fox and Ravens - 26/03/2011 01:24:11 PM 666 Views
The concept of 'colours' started confusing my SNES about a decade back. Fanatic-Templar - 27/03/2011 09:05:27 PM 798 Views
The concept of 'colours' confuses me too. Maybe you should have spelt it properly. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/03/2011 09:11:41 PM 332 Views
Why should I take your advice on the matter? You are by your own admission confused . Fanatic-Templar - 28/03/2011 04:55:16 AM 739 Views
Semicolons inexplicably begin to vanish... *NM* Ghavrel - 28/03/2011 05:41:24 AM 359 Views
Too true. A dark and terrible future lies down that road! *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 28/03/2011 06:54:22 AM 396 Views
Oddly enough, my NES is the only console which has ever broken Jragghen - 29/03/2011 04:54:17 PM 825 Views
Oh wow ironclad - 26/03/2011 11:15:32 AM 769 Views
Mine has held up really well. TaskmasterJack - 27/03/2011 04:29:45 AM 946 Views
And yet everyone uses it Dark Knight - 27/03/2011 05:57:23 AM 751 Views

They seem to alternate. Ghavrel - 27/03/2011 06:16:49 AM 800 Views
I think 98 was good one too, but otherwise you're on spot. *NM* Bergioyn - 27/03/2011 08:20:28 PM 335 Views
98 was so much better than 95 Roland00 - 29/03/2011 07:26:58 PM 726 Views
Not before they patched the hell out of it, it wasn't. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 08:55:58 PM 782 Views
That is some awful luck. Dannymac - 27/03/2011 10:40:04 PM 750 Views
Never had a console break, but they've all been Nintendo. NES to Wii, skipped GBA & 'Cube. Zalis - 29/03/2011 06:04:48 PM 775 Views
My 360 has the disc read error-- I'm about to disassemble it and clean the laser Guava - 29/03/2011 09:03:37 PM 769 Views
