No X box 360 problems? Then count yourself as one of the lucky ones. With a nonstarter rating of more then 50%, most consumers have experienced at smallest one problem with their console.
These problems can be anything from the "Red Ring of Death", to just simple game freezing. Some consumers experience disks being scratched while others see "bricking". Whether the problems are acceptable or not, they are still a headache.
Have you been acting your favorite game on your Xbox, and dead 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 scratched disks. This is due most often to two issues, a pad missing near the subscriber in the disk drive, or the drive not securing the platter in place before running.
Another topic Xbox 360's have is "bricking". "Bricking" is a term used inside the industry due to the brick shape of most electronics. Since a brick is useless when it comes to electronics, when items like a game console, DVD player or similar quits, it's now "useless as a brick". Some dashboard updates have caused "bricking". The only misrepresent for this is to get through Microsoft to see about a replacement or repair. If the console is out of warranty, the holiday resort could cost anywhere from $99 and up.
You have settled in for a gracious long marathon acting your up-to-the-minute game but when you boot up your Xbox 360, you only see Deuce-ace red lights lit up round the power light. Because of the red ring shape the lights look like, this has become known as the "Red Ring of Death". When you see that, don't expect to be playing your new game anytime soon. You will have to send in your console to Microsoft and wait an average of 8 weeks to get it or a replacement back. Thankfully since this is so common of an issue, Microsoft has all-encompassing the 1-year warrant these consoles come with to 3-years. Due to faulty design, nitty-gritty digital and general hardware failures happen too often.
Because the Xbox 360 is so problematic and is known for failures, lawsuits are common. Not long after it was released, the first casing 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 newest class action suits was filed Oct of 2008. California consumers who claimed Microsoft knew they were manufacturing and selling defective consoles filed it. Though Microsoft will not exit their actual failure rating, it is estimated to be over 50%. This probable 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 acceptable failure rating, a rating of over 50% is outrageous! What happened to the game consoles that lasted for geezerhood and geezerhood without any problems what so ever?
