Are you having xBox 360 problems? You are not alone. Most consumers have at littlest one matter with their console because of bad design and a high unsuccessful person rating.
These problems can be anything from the “Red Ring of Death”, to just simple game freezing. Some consumers experience disks being scraped while others see “bricking”. Whether the problems are satisfactory or not, they are still a headache.
Have you been playacting your ducky game on your Xbox, and short it freezes up on you? You reset the console to only find that it freezes again. Taking out the disk you find that there are now scratches on it. Unfortunately, this is common with this console. As many as 1 in 9 consoles positioned flat, and 3 in 9 positioned on their sides have scraped disks. This is due most often to two issues, a pad missing near the proofreader in the disk drive, or the drive not securing the record in place before running.
Nothing could be more frustrating then having paid anywhere from $300 to $700 for a game console and having it become no more useful then a brick. That is what happens when a dashboard update is applied and causes the hardware to fail. It becomes “bricked”, all useless. This problem costs $99 or more if the console is not under guarantee because you have to send it in to Microsoft.
Probably the worst, and by all odds the most common issue with Xbox 360′s is the “Red Ring of Death”. When you boot up your Xbox 360 and only Three red lights about the power light come on, looking like what appears to be a red ring, you are experiencing the “Red Ring of Death“. This is from either a eye digital or general hardware failure. This problem requires you to send in for a permutation or repair to Microsoft. Luckily since this issue is so common, Microsoft widely the guarantee from 1 to 3-years from the time you purchased your console. It takes about 8 weeks to get a system back.
Because the Xbox 360 is so problematic and is known for failures, lawsuits are common. Not long after it was released, the first pillow slip was filed. When the Nov 1, 2006 patch was released, a lawsuit was file because of “bricking”. Applying the updated “bricked” many consoles.
One of the latest class action suits was filed October of 2008. California consumers who claimed Microsoft knew they were manufacturing and selling defective consoles filed it. Though Microsoft will not release their actual failure rating, it is estimated to be over 50%. This expected will not be the last of lawsuits that Microsoft will see about their gaming system.
Xbox 360′s too often have problems. In an industry where only 3-5% is an satisfactory failure rating, a rating of over 50% is outrageous! What happened to the game consoles that lasted for maturate and maturate without any problems what so ever?
