Please guys it may be long but please just sit and read. Tell me if you had any problems with your xbox. Thanks for reading guys,

Today and mostly the last 5-month’s of my life have been a living hell. Ya ya Xbox 360 this and Xbox 360 that. However, really? Why cant it not fail why does it have to break. And why does there have to be the 3 Ring of Deaths. These four words are spooky to me. Maybe not to you or your friends. Nevertheless, this frightens me. Hell Xbox is so popular, but you don’t hear about the problems it holds.

Anyways, so about 4 months ago I had a slight problem with my Xbox 360. The power supply completely melted into my entertement stand burning my power supply and almost burning down my entertment stand. Nice one to. Cost me many hard-earned cash from summer jobs. So I called up 1 800 4my Xbox which to this day I know completely to heart. I can call with my eyes closed. Like some one texting.

So I called talk to this Indian half paid taken are American jobs away.( I’m not races I don’t hate Indians don’t get me wrong I like them, just if you cant speak English then leave please) So I finally understand what they where saying and was later shipped a new power supply, besides the fact that it destroyed my nice stand. (Which they would not repair since it was so my fault as they said) And well I got about 2 months of good Xbox playing until about 9 weeks ago when hell hit me in the face. Bam red friggen lights went off.

I had heard just a little about this problem, made me a totally reack, and hoped it would of not happened to me, but it did. So I called up Xbox yet again and probley talked to someone for at least an hour till they finally told me. “Wait 3-6 weeks for a box to be shipped to you with shipping labels and directions on how to get it to us.”(3-6 weeks!....) So I waited and waited….. Hey, it finally came nice so I quickly put it in there and dropped it off at ups. In addition, it was shipped. So about a week passed I called they gave me a shipping number and said it still has not came in and will probley be 3 more days or so. So I waited. Looked up the tracking number, which didn’t work. Great. Called them back asked it they got it about 2 days later. They got it.

I asked why they gave me a wrong tracking number and told me they had given a wrong one to me. Which they never told me. And I waited 3 weeks for it to get repaired and shipped back. And yet again the tracking number was wrong. Never got the real one.. And within 3 weeks yesterday I got it! At 2:30 to bad I was at school and was going to go to some friends house for the rest of the night till about 10 got home. My mom picked it up for me. Thank God. Plug it in with my complement month of live and my free worthless game. And yet again. It did the same thing I returned it to them for.

Well to make the story short I probley talked to them about 3 hours today have gotten no where but that there sending me another gay box to put it in. And I came to find out it was a refurbish Xbox 360. Which the pieces of this so called new one where broken! And there head manger wont send me a brand new Xbox360 even though I have been a customer for years ever since Xbox started. ( And he knows that this is a pain, but he said he send me a controller with a game! Neat now I can sit there and play with my new controller and my new game box!) He will send me the same game they just gave me. And says that the box should be there within 4-6 weeks…. Moreover, that was manly all that can happen.

Ive had my Xbox for 6 months and had 4 months of repairs.. So what I just turned in for repair needs a new repair and I only got 10 minutes of play nice! Maybe when its fixed by Christmas time ill get 30 minutes of play before I have to get it repaired again. SWEET! Really 450$ of my money is gone. There happy they have my money am I no im pissed..

Cont.... Night Of Reckoning.

Recently my xbox says "Please put this disk in an xbox 360 console" no matter what I put in it
Apparently I have to buy a new DVD drive for it. I called that number, and they told me I had to pay them $100 and wait 2 months for them to get me a box to ship it, and for me to receive it. Needless to say, the phone call ended in a nice "Go **** yourself" and me hanging up.
Microsoft failed completely on the Xbox360 IMHO. It's a GREAT console, but the hardware sucks.


My friends also recently DESTROYED his Halo 3 disk, and broke the DVD drive doing it.

360's are VERY faulty. Almost all the 360's that my friends have, don't work.

Luckily, mine has never given me a single problem, except the DVD Drive getting stuck when opening, but it opens after about 5 tries :p I don't use it often though, about um...1 hour a week lol.

I wonder if you can sue them... they probably have some twisted lie in there TOS or something though.

Are you sure this was an accident
Companies make easy breaking pencils so you have to buy more :p

So this could be on purpose for we all know...
Mircosoft has the world in its hand, so it can do whatever it wants pretty much

It may sound crazy but it makes sense XD

I just say it could be an evil plan
A Genius plan but still evil XD

I got my 360 about 4 weeks ago, worked like a charm this far, but we will see how long this last. I got 5 IRL friends who got a 360 too, one of them had it's power supply broken, the 4 other worked fine. Anyway, I guess I am lucky if my xbox survives.

And good luck to you with broken hardware, may the force be with you!

Yes it is, it translate to "ORLY?".

Offtopic - You should have a binary conversation with him :rolleyes:

Ontopic - Xbox 360s seem more trouble than they're worth, PS3s are extremely expensive and Wiis are a whole load of fun, i know which i'd prefer sitting in my living room waiting to be played.

    that sucks i bet they are expensive
  • Varine Varine:
    Not really
  • Varine Varine:
    The entire hot end is like 20 dollars, I just can't get anymore until next week
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
