But i do think there is a large problem with Xbox. I do love the games and the consul and i got the 3 red rings. so i got it fixed and they sent me a new one, granted i play a moderate amount the red rings came pretty fast in a little under a year. but the replacement also now has a problem with the disk reader. it seems to open automatically when u turn it on and if u put a disk in the tray it will close try to read it and open the tray again, this replacement only lasted about 9 or 10 months... so now im on to my 3rd one....... mean while my playstation 3 that i bought when it first came out has worked fine... with no problems what so ever. true, going way back to the beginning the people with problems are going to complain. and most with good units are not going to post online they are working.

He phoned Microsoft Support( which is free call) And they came and collected it for free next day, to be repaired also for free! (They said it can take up to 3 weeks for repair) He also had no receipt, as they can tell when you purchased it by the serial number on the back of the console. All 360 now have 3yrs free waranty! Hope this cheer's you up? hi

Poor fella, mine still works, but i'm now nervous about mine! I've enjoyed the experience, but i think the best solution is to sell and buy a cheap ps2, as this is still a good machine with more than enough games. i will wait for the next console which gains a good reputation! Bye 360 you should of Kicked sony's ass!!!!! Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just seen my mates 360, receive the red flashing lights.

Tech lounge - thanks for the reply, there's a bit a lit at the end of the proverbial tunnel (i hope) i've been told that the dreaded 4 lights isnt so dreaded after all (believe it or not) 4 red lights means that there is a connection problem with the power cable that runs into the back of the xbox - not a system error. have phoned customer services - who have been as good as gold - said try reconnecting and if still have a problem - they'll send out a new one - no questions asked - fair play, call center have been good to me. watch this space ........................................... Development!!!

This console is just out of warranty... our other one that we got Dec 2005 is still fine (fingers crossed). Anyway long phone call to the call centre, they will fix it free of charge as if it was still under warranty and send it back to us. Just waiting for the shipping labels to come through. We'll let you know how it goes. I hope you get your's sorted Techlounge Ivenho75 - I hope that your story isn’t what we have got instore… our demo Xbox360 here gave up last week … started off with the game freezing and the screen going all fuzzy, then the dreaded 3 red lights.
