Wow, my less than a year old 360 elite just broke. It isnt the red ring, it just freezes up within minutes of turning it on. This is especially pissing me off since I just got Grand Theft Auto!!! Why cant microsoft make systems that work?? I have had my N64 since the year it launched and it still works perfectly after almost 12 years, so why cant my new next-gen Xbox 360 last for more than a year??

Can anyone who has had their xbox break and got a new one from microsoft tell me how long it took to get the new one so I can atleast know how long I have to wait?

i don't have an elite, but my 360 just died 2 days ago. the box is apparently on the way, but i have no way to estimate how long it will take. some people say it's very quick, some people have been supposedly waiting since december. either way, sorry to hear that, man.

that sucks man-i'm actually on my seventh 360. i was losing one about every 2 months or so since launch date but mine was always because of the dreaded 3 red rings which is the only problem microsoft will fix free of charge unless you have some sort of extended warranty. call 18004MYXBOX if you haven't already and go through the problem with the {excellent} tech. support and give them your info so that you can get your shipping box mailed to you-about 3-5 days usually. ship out your xbox to microsoft-about 3-5 days again before they receive it and then 5 - 15 days after that before you get it back-hopefully fixed (no warranty voids or anything to prevent microsoft from working on your box) i can say on average it was taking me roughly 3 weeks total down time(i know this sucks) but the last time i sent it out (6th time?) it only took 6 days because they sent me back a refurbished unit with the cooler chipset and now have had this one for over 14 months(knock on wood) hope you have a quick turn around time on your repair so you can get back to gaming as soon as possible. good luck!

3 weeks? That sucks. I have to call tomorrow, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they can walk me through how to fix it, but I doubt it because I did everything their website said except for deleting everything on my hard-drive. I'll probably have to send it in though.

My friends elite got the red ring about a month ago. Microsoft took two weeks to send him the box but after that it went fairly quick.

If you have a PS2 and are waiting for you xbox to get repaired check out Shin Megami Tensei: Person 3 Fes. I just bought it yesterday and its one of the best RPGs I have ever played, and its only $30 brand new.
