Ace152 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 XBOX 360's biggest problem is that MVP 2005 wont work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 there's nothing wrong with mine. i've had it almost a year, and any problems that happened with it, were caused by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 People always seem to have problems with their XBOX360s because they do not know how to take care of expensive equipment, and those who purchase launch consoles are not aware that they are still beta testers for a Microsoft product. You will be fine as long as you do not put your 360 in a closed space with limited ventilation. Given the fact that the 360 has been planned to become fitted with a better quality CPU that does not give the system heat-related problems, you are good to go if you plan to buy one in the coming year. You know, as far as backwards compatibility is concerned, I never knew why that was such an issue. If you still want to play your XBOX games, don't get rid of your XBOX, it's not that hard to do. Same with the PS3, it's a new console, the point of a new console is to play better games on it as opposed to previous games from the past generation. I think someone should sticky a console thread somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngdot Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Microsoft can suck my nuts, they've had my 360 since mid October for "repairs." This is the 3rd unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yhw4life Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I just sent my 360 in to get repaired a few days ago. I got it in august, so it was still under the 90 day warranty. My problem was that the discs wouldn't load. 90% of the time the disc wasn't being recognized. I'd have to turn it off and on about 7-8 times for the disc to load. Only did that the past week or so. I took mega care of it. Never moved it with a disc in it, had it laying down which i've heard is better but who knows. lots of room on the sides. I dunno what happened.

jimboi Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I bought an Xbox 360 about 6 months ago and zero problems. I purchased a 2-year warranty at Bestbuy for $50 with the Xbox 360 system, and the Plug-And-Play Charge Kit and it came out to be $506. It's recommended that you buy this warranty becuase if something happens on accident you can just bring it to Bestbuy and they will give you a new one. Just take care of the 360 and you shouldn't have any problems. Also you should keep your original Xbox if you want to play MVP Baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreLegend Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The only problem I've ever had with my 360 have all related to the NCAA Football 2007. Some disc read errors, sometimes read it as a DVD and it scratched the game up pretty bad. Other than that, no real problems. I plan to get some cooling fans for the back soon though.

UncleMo Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I could have sworn I read that the PS3's were going to be better systems than the 360s, so that is, to me, what is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS3 has an identity crisis, it doesn't know what it wants to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
