360 Defects... Already, from Every10Minutes Options

[zeebo]

Well well, I just recieved my xbox 360 today from every10minutes. It was freezing cold so I let it sit for about an hour. Plugged everything in got it up and started playing COD 2. I completed training and while it was loading it just went to a black screen. I waited for awhile and nothing happened so I turned it off, let it sit and turned it back on. I turned it back on to 3 red flashing lights. The top left and the two bottom. Don't know if this is the same problem the Canadians are having, but I don't have a clue how to fix it. My father is on the phone with Xbox right now trying to get things figured out. MS will need to fix this problem fast.

Update:
I found out that it's the harddrive. They said they have recieved numerous calls already. I unplugged my harddrive and it worked fine. Put it back on my box and red lights again. I'll take pics if no one believes me. I am not one of those stupid sony fans that are just spreading rumors about the 360. I love Xbox, I have never even thought of purchasing something of Sony.

I've been talkin to them on the phone and they have to set up a repair call to fix my HDD. I hope they can come today, this ruins the plans of my prerelease party. Well, maybe not. We can still play without the HDD but, yeah... You understand where I'm coming from.

For those who say I'm lying because my gamertag has not been updated:
As I tried to recover my xbox live account it said that it couldn't be done at this time please try back later. Also, as I completed training it didn't get time to save due to it went straight to black screen after training. For anyone who don't believe me, give me word and I'll take a pic with my cell phone

Update # 2:
Like I said earlier it was just the harddrive and when I unplugged the HDD it worked fine right? Right then, but wrong now. Now it doesn't even work without the harddrive. I still get the three flashing red lights. Any other ideas? If not they said I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday and they'll send my a new HDD through FEDEX (thank god) and then after I recieve it send them my old one. But that was when the problem was just the HDD, I haven't called them back since I found out it is the whole box. There is nothing they can do until the 22nd. So, being mad as I am now. I called the Every10Minutes hotline. Where they told me on release I will have to send in my whole xbox where they will try to fix it. I'm about done with Pepsi, no way I am sending it back to them.

If you read all that atleast post a comment, lol.

Why complain?

Why complain?

This may be a worldwide hard drive defection. Thats why. It might even be a worldwide Xbox 360 problem. This damn thing only works for like 15 minutes before shittin out.

[zeebo]

Why not complain? I just won a 360 and had my hopes high for having a prerelease party and now it doesn't work at all. Wouldn't you be upset. I'm afraid the people who go out and actually pay for the whole bundle are going to have the same problem. Xbox isn't ready either for all this. As I was talkin to them on the phone they stated they couldn't help right now because all the xbox 360 parts are not in their system yett and they are unable to ship. They should be better prepared for something like this so that they can help the people instead of thousands of problems accumulating (spelling) and they won't be able to handle it.

Yea they've already had massive 360 shortages and game shortages. Some launch titles even got delayed for months. Ditto with the 360s. Some of the preorders wont be complete until Early 06. My guess is that M$ is trying to cover-up a massive defection of the 360. They problem realized the problem but it was to late which is why there are shortages.

^^ My Guess ^^

Why complain?

I would complain, hell if this happened to me even people over in America would hear the language coming out of my mouth.

It dosent matter if its free or not, end of the day its 280£ / 400$ worth of kit, and even if you got it for free, you expect it to work.

I think that because they rushed to get the console in the shops for xmas they've obviosly made a few errors. Good news though is that its not happening to everyone ... only a few units.

[atomheartmother]

Yeah I too would and will complain plenty if I get mine today and its not working. Of course your gonna be pissed I mean you wait this long in anticipation then "SHIT" "WTF" who cares if its free its not right no matter how you look at it you know?

I've heard something loose in my 360 for a while and I already thought it was a spring but it sounds like the noise is coming from right below the dvd tray and right above the memory card locations about 2 inchs from where the hard drive connects.

Im starting to think this is a DVD Drive problem.

Since you mentioned it, I checked for myself. It does sound like something is loose. Anybody who has a working one, maybe you can check to see if you hear any loose objects rolling around in your 360.

mine works so far but only played it for about 5 minutes.....i did hear something loose in it though right when i took it out of the box

[ksteiner]

I imagined something like this.......i think its a lot of power in a small box and well i just felt something like this would happen i hope they fix this cause if they dont ms would loose a lot of money and nobody would loose customers which would probly go running to sony like little babies. Hope nintendo does better than the last generation.. i bought a gamecube almost 2 yrs ago and havent played for 6 months or more, then i bought my xbox then like 5 months later i found out how to softmod and then i did it and now theres not a single day i dont use my xbox.

[AssassinX]

Its free... Even if its not good, what do you care? Like your mom wet pu$$y its not good but its free. So i dont care. Accept it and DOnt Bitch!

[atomheartmother]

man shut the F#ck up and quite trying to get attention and I hope your ass gets banned moron.
