XBOX 360 Burnout
By Robbie onI bought the XBOX 360* system about 2 years ago I guess. When the game system works it is one of the most outstanding systems I have ever touched. It has superb graphics, a huge selection of games, sound quality is great! You can play CD's and DVD's on this system, you can download music to the console itself so you can listen to music while playing games. I purchased an external cooler for this system, that is the main problem with the XOBX 360*, it overheats in a bad way. I had heard about the red circle of death and halfheartedly laughed, until I saw it on mine. Now my very expensive game console is dead and it is a battle in itself trying to get it fixed if you can even get a hold of anyone. You have 3 different systems to chose from that have many different options, it depends on what all you want to do and how much money you are willing to spend. You can even play the games online interactively for an additional monthly fee. You can buy many different accessories from headsets, to inter cooler fans, wireless controls with rechargeable batteries and so much more! You can even change out the look of the console with faceplates, similar to that of a cell phone, they simply snap on. Overall I LOVE this game but wish that it was more durable. For as much money as you put out you need to have a better warranty and service help.
Curses on the red circle of death. Something that expensive really shouldn't do that!
We need to upgrade our old SNES, but if this has problems it probably won't be the one. Thanks for the information.
My son got the red circle of death after 14 months but we had the Best Buy replacement plan and they just gave us a new one. We could have sent it in to x-box under the new warranty, but this was faster/easier and he got a new system/controller etc. He is addicted for sure!
Three of my co-workers have gotten the red circle of death, but said this was primarily a problem with the first year the Xbox 360 came out. I sure hope Microsoft fixed it by now.
