I'm a PS3 owner.

Anyways, story goes: Two of my buddies struck up a deal. $400 for an xbox 360 along with like 10 games, headset, 2 controls, 1 month free online gaming, and some other cheap somethinganother. I figured, damn, good deal. Oh contrare monfrare. After a week of some stupid hunting game, and before he got it online, the thing randomly broke. $400 down the pisser. Now he has to get it shipped off and fixed. It's been sitting in his living room for 6 weeks, broke.

Well thats the bad luck with used 360s. At the least, its a free repair but the problem is that you're out of the best next gen console until it does. Then you just have to play the PS3...alas! =P I kid of course. I've had my 360 for 3 years and its just fine. No problems at all.

I'm on my 8th 360...

1st one got some Ethernet port error and messed up and M$ wouldn't fix it... I called like 20 times and told them it was RROD and they kept screwing me around, let my buddy try and they did it no problem for him, and even changed the registration of the system over from my name to his (without asking me)...

So, I went through a string of buying used 360s from Gamestop with a warranty. Mainly the DVD drives were dead before I even got to play the system 5 of them within the first month (basically the first 3 days)... 1 after a month and I had to rebuy the warranty after they replaced it... then this last one has been fine for months and no problems with overheating or anything.

My buddy also had a ps3 fry on him at the same time his 360 did lol... crazy stuff.

Sounds like your friend got a bad xbox to begin wiht, I've had one of my xbox's where as long as you didn't play it for more then 2-3 hours at a time you wouldn't know it was broke eventually the thing bit the dust and I was forced to replace it.

I don't know if my current Xbox 360 is under warranty or not at the moment but if it goes down again I'm getting myself an elite instead of the current one I have.

To add insult to injury, the guy that sold it to him had never had a problem with it before. Crazy!
well it can happen but I still think it's odd that it just died as soon almost as he got it, but the one thing he might have done and the fastest way to kill an xbox is to move it with the disc in it and it doesn't even have to be on, I had shut one of mine off and moved it really quick because I had to get into the hope chest my TV and 360 sit on and in under a week from when I did that I had to send it in to get it repaired, because the dvd drive went out on it.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
