Not so good, Microsoft have made very bad consoles(hardware failure wise), compared to other consoles on the market. I thought the ring of death was unrepairable?? Mednabor

Im not amazed that they have had over 250 complaints. I'm gonna try an e-mail to them to see what i can do. Thanks Helford Mednabor

ok mate, ill try that now. Thanks Mednabor

Hello people, I am rather new to this forum and had noticed this post. I had been searching on Google to find a post which could inform me, and this has helped a lot, but... not enough. Let me tell you what has happened to me. lol Well, i had got an xbox 360 pro on the 6th of February 2007 and had no problems whatsoever up until the 11th of February 2008. I had played approximately 1100 to 1200 hours in total. I had set up a new router with the console and was playing online when all of a sudden it froze on me. This would happen maybe every 3-4 weeks so i done the same as usual, just turn it off and back on again, but the controller didn't connect, either did my 2nd controller or my cousins, but my controllers connected to my cousins console. So i rang microsoft and spent over 1 and a half hours giving my details to what sounded like a polish / romanian woman which was a nightmare, finally she had all my details, console number etc, etc. She said to me, ' Sorry your console is out of warranty ( by 5 days! ), if you want it fixed i will send a label for UPS to pick it up at a suitable time, but it will cost up to £225'. Naturally i thought, why pay that!?, when a new console costs £200 or so. A week later when i had some spare time, i went to Argos in cookstown(Northern Ireland), bought an Xbox 360 Arcade console as i could easily take the HDD off my old console. I got home, set it up and it worked fine. (This was the 24/02/2008(dd/mm/yyyy) when it was bought). Now on 18/03/2008. The exact same happened. I tuned it on, got into a game and it froze. I rang microsoft, they sent me a label for UPS but i couldnt get a time to suit for a pickup. So now i am wondering what i can do about it, get a refund or what?? :???: . Please help me as i am so angry and frustrated with this whole thing! Thanks Mednabor
