Huzzuh for Best Buys replacement plan!!!! Mine broke but didn't have 3 RLOD so I took it to where I bought and found out I had a replacement plan...I just gave them all my stuff and they gave me all brand new stuff...That includes controllers and cords and everything....I even got the xbox with HDMI (Which I didnt have before) and 2 free games....
Make it 4. It no longer reads discs. The only thing I can hope for is a falcon... Also, as I waited for 25 minutes (literally) on hold for the supervisor, I had to listen to the Halo theme over and over. That is just wrong. It's in the bone. Update: Make it 3 again. After creating the repair order, I tried standing the console up vertically (after taking the disc out and powering it down of course), and it worked fine. I then laid the console back down horizontally and it still works fine (although I'm sure I'm dooming it to failure by posting this). I canceled my repair order (I still have a little warranty left).
I have had to take mine back 6 times and each time i plug in the new one and the red lights come on before i can play but now i have a good one that has lasted a month so far.
First one lasted 2 years, its dead now. Second one {an Elite} died today, had for 5 days. microsoft is really pissing me off. when will they learn
Same, only instead of 3 red lights i got 1 red light, which i think is some kind of disk error, but i power cycled and its been fine ever since.
My dads account did a similar thing. His first account with elite 1 month free, crashed, meaning no XBox Live, discs came up as Dirty disk error, and he got the RRoD once. I heard him say to the not so helping tech support in India, "WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?" Right when it left off of hold....lol. He made a new one and hates Indian Tech support. Oh btw, it played the Halo theme in Middle Eastern type of music.
Yes I feel your pain it happened to me three times on the third time they gave me a free copy of Gears Of War.
my first xbox 360 i left it on like all night in fantasy star universe for a while and i was in video chat alot so it broke :s and then i opened it and spit in this one tiny part and heard it sizzle no joke :s
Mine broke and but I didn't get the 3ROD so I tried to induce it and spit in it and then it started working....Only for like a week though...thats when I realized I had Best Buy Replacement Plan.
Wow, I wasn't even aware this thread was still going :squirrel_wtf: Anyways guess I'll give a little update on my situation. So I got my third console back, and I enjoyed it until I realized that it was unusually loud, so I open'd er up to look at my Call of Duty 4 disc(Blasphemy! I know!) and blamo! Fat ring scratched into the disc. So I called up Microsoft and they are actually going to give me a "new" console, not some refurbished piece of ****. But regarding the disc, they can't replace it because, Come on. So I'm going to get my dad to call them and tear a strip off some phone relations person, I know I'm 15 but I'm not entirely capable of ripping on people harshly, I'm too nice .
