Well, well, well... we don't have the ring of death anymore, but M$ sure hasn't changed, first Xbox has failed to boot up for the last 2 days... did all the troubleshooting... M$ may make crappy products, but their support remains very good, after a few minutes of checking wires and attempting a hard reboot, the rep is sending me a brand new one, and I just need to send the old back... 3 to 5 days... so see you in a week. wink

That's good. When I gutted my original 360 it was indeed a sad little monkey's attempt at making a computer inside, but at least it got replaced wink

Holy crap! That sucks!

Well, at least you're getting a new one right away. Damn, that still sucks though.

Sony is not immune. There are been similar reports of dead PS4's with the Blue Light of Death.

both systems have about the same failure ratio which is only a little above standard electronic failure ratios.

New system up and running... I can forgive an occasional bad system, as long as they quickly replace it, (like they did), and it's not a habit.

Re-downloading and installing my games is a #%&*$#, I go only digital now... went with BF4 and FH2 first, then my sport games and last second decided on FM5, which I don't play much since FH2 came out... didn't re-install CoD Ghost, pretty much done with that... so now for my apps.

Was about to get an XBO, then I came home to a TV with error code blinking lights that no longer turns on correctly
(Turns on, has color glitches, then fades to a completely white screen before turning off w/ blink code).

pretty sure it's just the MCZ3001 Chips again, but I decided to go for a 42 inch LG 1080p 120Hz flat panel smile
(For $350)

I am seriously considering purchasing a backup PS3.
