Xbox 360 is an unreliable piece of shit

[The Dude]

im not concerned about the HD I have bugger all on it.
I don't want to be hit with a delivery and repair bill when they discover its not red ringed.
I figured they'd test the bloody thing first.

[Corrin]

They'll easily find out its not red rings.
The xbox console and menu run fine
it just doesn't run games.

I'm telling you it will work. At the very least, you plan on spending money on another one anyway, who cares if they send it back? If it's the HD you're worried about them keeping, they don't even want you to ship it to them.

Its fully official then, my 360 = Dead.
No red rings, it won't run 360 or Original titles, but will still function as a DVD player no problem.
Ordering an Xbox 360 "Arcade" console deal tomorrow and'll just slap the drive from my premium console into it, I don't tend to download onto the drive anyway so I still have 10-9gb on it spare anyway.

What, why? Just tell them It's got the red rings. They'll send you the box and fix it for free.

yeah the colossus's are called colossi for some reason. But it is one of the best on ps2, if you want a puzzle kinda game.

Perhaps grammar is the reason?

This has been happening to mine too. I press the button, I can hear the disc stop spinning, on screen it tells me "Opening Tray" but nothing happens. I have to push on the tray and then it comes free. It's a pretty strange problem. Sometime it attempts to open the tray when I haven't pressed the button, I'll be in game and it'll throw me back to the Dashboard and it'll be saying "Opening Tray".

This is what happened to me before mine RRODed >_>

My launch 360 finally died in January of this year The old boy lasted a lot longer than everyone else thought it would though. Microsoft was nice enough to repair it for free....but they actually just sent me a brand new 360 instead, lol!

Dot did you make sure your disk isnt scratched or anything?

Seeing as he started this thread almost two years ago, I'm gonna go ahead and assume he resolved his problem.

Mine just does nothing, no response at all. Need to shove a little pin in the hole to force eject it.

and the eject button stopped working on my spare. Lovely.

One of mine RROD, and the eject button stopped working on my spare. Lovely. Sent the RROD one back though so should get that back soon.

when you can play video's and such that are on your laptop through the 360, some video's say they can't be played because they are an unsupported codec or something.
Is it possible to get codecs for the 360 so these video's can be watched?

[The Dude]

My 360 totalled my COD4 disc, scratched it beyond usage now.
Not like it bothered me, my COD4 stats were 40+ anyway and the game ceased being fun due to pubescant kids, over aggressive pseudo alpha male yanks and thick as s*it scousers yelling abuse at each other on deathmatches.

"Colossus" !! That's it. I own the game, but haven't played it in forever. I guess I got confused on the name because in the game the Colossus are called something else.

I have my xbox 360 since it was released, and I absolutely never had any problem with it. Never.

And most games are released on both ps3 and 360 so... I'm not motivated at all to spend 500 bucks on a ps3 I don't have any use for.
