    Has your xbox 360 even been sent back for repairs?
    As a bit of a LG poll, im curious to see who on this site has had their system die on them

    Please post (and only post) if your xbox 360 has died, and the date (appx) when it happened

    My Launch 360 never broke but had a rather wierd problem. After the system was off for long periods of time between sessions, when I would first boot up the game, it would freeze within 5 minutes, usually in the first or second minute. I would simply reboot and then it would work fine. Well I got sick of that after awhile, and had a decent connection with EBGames at the time and was able to swap it out for a new premium for minimal cost.

    Since then its been smooth sailing on the 360 I bought in the spring.

    I'm on my second. I purchased my first in March of 2006. It broke down in July so I sent it in. When I got it back it worked fine for a while and than it broke. So I took the broken one to my BX on base and exchanged it for a brand new one. No problems yet. In this process though I lost my 60+ hour save file from Oblivion :(

    My first 360 purchased in mid-feb 06 crapped out on me around August of 06. Replaced it at Bestbuy and has been running smooth since. Only froze up once while playing GoW.

    my system never worked from day one , it was sent back to MS and I had to wait approx. 6 weeks ( due to mass shortage ) for replacement not repair. I received ZERO compensation.

    i bought the service contract through best buy...I'm on my third one. I just keep taking it back and exchanging it; the first one (a month after launch) crapped out right after I put the first game in it. Two weeks later the second one crapped out. The third one has been great.
