  Get a new 360 then, the old 360′s suck so badly if you know what i mean…. Id rather get a ps3 then a crappy old 360 whereas you have to keep fixing it like 50 times a goddamn year.

  Because Microsoft is trying to repair broken 360s – not replace them – many people have gotten back 360s from Microsoft that were still broken.

  To understand why this is happening, you need to understand the original problems with the 360. The heatsinks weren’t attached properly, causing the processors to overheat. As a safety measure, the processors can shutdown the console when the heat gets too high. This can prevent the processor from being permanently damaged by the heat…but it isn’t always successful. Even if a processor appears to be OK in testing after overheating, it may still fail later – which is what you’re seeing now.

  Your 360 is still under warranty by Microsoft. You can call them to get it repaired. Again. There’s not much else you can do other than cross your fingers and hope the next 360 you get back will work, or just buy an all new one.

  This happened to me. After trying to make it work forever i just decided to call Microsoft and they told me to send in the 360 and they will fix it. it takes like a month or so, but better than buying a new one

  wow, i’m going with poohbear on this one, just remember, tell them you are mad that it only worked for an hour, get them to send another repair box, again tell them you are really mad, at that point they should start offering you items, free games, xbox live cards, etc… if they don’t offer these things, ask them if they are trying to rip you off, that your buddy got 2 free games when his 360 broke for the second time
