[HOOT]

It should be a $100 cheaper, I am a HUGE Xbox fan and have always thought they were the best but WOW the 360 is a peice of #####.

I have had mine replaced on 3 seperate occasions (of course taking forever to get back). I barely play the thing but if it isn't 4 flashing lights its 3 or the disc wont read. Everytime something goes wrong it seems I am not covered by their warranty they keep extending.

Between watching movies and playing games I might use it on average twice a week, I dust the freakin thing more than play it.

My biggest piss off is when I got my Xbox in December '05 it only had a 6 month warranty with it, well 7 months later I get the 4 flashing lights call Xbox to find out I had just passed my warranty. Well January 06 I get an email saying the warranty had been extended to 1 full year, well I bought mine about 1 year, 12 days before that warranty would kick in and they said too bad but I can pay $125 to fix it and extended my warranty 1 year from that date.

I paid it just because I wanted to play some vids again, and well 4 months later I get 3 flashing red lights. Phone them up again and I have to wait again for them to replace it didn't have to pay anything so that is good.

Well its August and my Xbox is back with them being repaired for the 3rd time for being unable to read the disc. Free of charge again.

However when I phoned in I got this automated message saying that Xbox has extended their warranty 3 years for 4 flashing red lights (my first problem) and that if I paid to get that problem fixed I would get a refund. Well I asked the person on the phone about that and they said I was not eligable because my last problem was the 3 flashing red lights not 4.

I tried to explain that theo nly reason I paid $125 was because of 4 flashing lights not the 3, the 3 is a seperate problem and they would not budge.

Be careful when you buy that thing and spend the $100 you save on an extended warranty you will need it!
