Well, you could give your box the ring of death… just put it next to a heater while playing a graphically intense game. That should do the trick My first box got the rings of death after about 3 months, but we’re on number 2 for the better part of a year with no problems *knocks on wood*

Yes, their warranty is extended for the red ring of death event only and does not include the disc unreadable problem. That has to be addressed within the original one year warranty.

I keep hearing many people returning their XBox 360s cuz of numerous problems of overheating. Oh well! I’m glad I don’t have one yet! I might think of getting one once its fixed!!!

Bob, Microsoft extended their warranty on all consoles to 3 years back in July I think it was.

I’m playing Assassins Creed right now on The Box. It’s sad that such a great console is having so many issues but I’m still pro-microsoft and hold their stock.

My main problem is the “Disc Unreadable” message which is annoying and unacceptable. There is a fix which is to clean your cache before playing and to never leave the game in after you are done playing. However, why should there need to be jerry rigs for playing a game on a 400 dollar system?

I have until March before my one year is up so will send it in for that problem before then so they can hopefully fix the design error.

By the way, Assassins Creed is amazing.

I just got COD4 for PC this weekend, and I have to agree, it is absolutely amazing. It really puts the new computer I built to the test, and it passes with flying colors.

And Jim, I’ll hit you up later to trade gamertags. I have a ton of xbox games we play on live.

COD 4 is insane! The most realistic war environment ever. Unfortunately I have it on PS3, no xbox live for me.
