Xbox Dirty disc

tenshi i have read up about this and ppl have been caught because they moved it and now want to blame microsoft


stop moving the xbox and you'll be fine?

if its so obvious why did you move and then cry about your broken disk?

jab jab
 
I for one moved my xbox with my disc in, never read the message on the tray and alas, can't blame it on anyone but myself.

Now i just re-burn the game if the disc gets too "dusty" LoL
 
please people , i PROMISE and will go to HELL if i lie !! I did not move my xbox360 at all.

This is so typical , just because MS knows it scrathes when you move it , they IMMEDIATLY make asif that is what you did. And how do you prove it ? you cant , because it happens randomly. So this sucks.

All i can say is , wait till the day it happens to you..THEN you too will feel HORRIBLE . here i buy a new console..which i waited for so long ..and this happens..too scared to buy a new game , too scared to borrow friends games..
 
I must agree, the Xbox 360 has a really serious and frightening problem. The likes of which I have not seen in any other console. They must revise the machine; they must fix it and replace people’s consoles.

That is cr@p. The vast majority of people never experience this problem. There are to many people in this world who will take them for a ride if they say they will replace consoles. You may not have moved it but unfortunately that is life. If you think your console is a bad one then phone microsoft and send it in for repairs. They do offer that service you know.
 
Not in this country !! Because MIB or MID ??? anyway they imported it..not MS .. so no fixing :(

1. Phone the M$ support number that comes in the box
2. Get a reference number for a replacement console
3. Take it back to the retailer with your reference number and get a new one
4. Enjoy.

I'm sorry but between the rings of death & this problem, this console takes the cake in terms of the most problems reported by their owners. Most people buy consoles because they trying to get away with the malfunctions & frustrations associated with PC gaming. M$ have managed to make the transition :D

I take it you are ignoring the first 2 years of the PS2's life in this statement?

M$ say they have a <3% failure rate. I put it more at 8% which is still nothing in the greater scheme of things.

actually, in the consumer electronics market acceptable failure rate is 1.5%.

we do not buy from suppliers who have a failure rate above that.

Rob Enderle, principal analyst for Enderle Group in San Jose estimates that 15 percent of iPods will fail within one year. The analyst noted that a 15 percent failure rate is roughly comparable to other small electronic devices.

Notebook AFRs (Averge Failure Rate) still range from 15 percent to 20 percent throughout the life of the system, Gartner said.

Desktop AFRs have gone from 7 percent in year one and 15 percent in the fourth year of life to a current level of 5 percent

Please show me somewhere that has some more details on failure rates because according to what I found on Google iPods fail 15% of the time and Computers between 20% and 5%.

CRT Tv's seem to have a rate of about 3-5%.

So I don't know what you sell but you seem to be stricter than most companies.
 
Not really strange, you'll find on most forums that there are couple stages of product/service review:

Investigation : Wading between fanboys & haters to come to your own conclusion of a product. If that's successful then there's a -

Acquisition : Which usually amounts to alot of self-praise and happiness over the purchase decision. This is usally the last you'll hear of that product/service unless there's a -

Complication : A bug, a fault, if there isn't an answer or good customer service that's followed by -

Frustration : That great piece of kit you purchased is now a POS. You dedicate a manifesto on how terrible it and it's manufacturer are. These usually results in mutli-page thread full of fanboys & haters throwing blog links at each other.
