[QUOTE="V4LENT1NE"]
[QUOTE="kevmc"]Id recommend buying an intercooler they're only 20 bucks you can get them at gamestop. 3 extra fans that clip on to the back of the 360. I have had a 360 since launch with no problems and everybody i personally know with 360s (bout 7 others) have had no problems (most have intercoolers)kevmc

I am sorry to say but that is total crap, you shouldnt have to buy an intercooler, it should work fine as it is.

You shouldnt but why not spend an extra 20 dollars and not have to deal with any extra hassles. And even then systems without immediate heating or hardware problems will break a few years down the road. Most consoles will break at some point. They arent meant to last over like 8 years. Why not extend the life of your console? Im just speaking from experience and paying a few dollars for an intercooler is a lot better and proactive than whining on the boards and sending your xbox in.

I have the intercooler AND IM GOING ON MY 3RD CONSOLE! It doesnt work. Its nothing but a Gimmick so 3rd party Companies can make cash off paranoid people. If your 360 is faulty ITS GOING TO BREAK REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY EXTRA FANS YOU ADD!

This is the only Console I have had this much trouble with. Ive been gaming since NES days and still own most of the consoles that came out between now and then and ALL of them work Flawlessly. THE INTERCOOLER IS A JOKE..........DONT BUY IT!

I think MS should see this thread....so they can do a...(everybody)...RECALL..kidding:P
I do think the 130.00 charge is a joke...especially if the system is faulty. Consumer misuse = 130.00 = justifyable......
System failure = 130.00 = MS fails.
I love my 360 but I sure hope MS has fixed the problem:)
I dont want to have to send in my 3rd console:(

[QUOTE="JoelWhy"]I posted this elsewhere, but I'll repost it here since we now have an OFFICIAL board where all of us Sony spies who never really owned an Xbox can conspire against Microsoft. I found this in an ign.com article from May: "At last count, nine Xbox 360s that belong to IGN editors have completely crashed. Two editors, Hilary Goldstein and Jessica Chobot, have had TWO systems go kaput." Anyhow, I'm filing a complaint w/ the California Department of Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau. I'm hoping other people will, too (and I'm sure many others already have.) (If you live outside of CA, just Google 'the name of your state and "consumer affairs," and you should be able to figure out who handles consumer complaints -- it's the Attorney General in a lot of states.) Even if you don't get anything anything from this directly, if they get enough complaints and/or some media attention, they can open up a formal investigation and subpoena MS's records. Also, you can look in to filing suit. Seriously, and NO ,IT WON'T COST YOU A TON OF CASH! Small claims courts only charge a nominal fee ($30 in CA, but even this may be waived if you can't afford it.) And, not only do you not need a lawyer, in many places you are not ALLOWED to have a lawyer try your case. Plus, if you're under 18 and you have a willing parent, they can generally represent you. (Also, in some states, like CA, it's not like you'd have to face a high-priced Microsoft attorney...corporations are prohibited from being represented by an attorney in these courts. They have to send an employee or officer who (a) isn't an attorney and (b) has a job besides just handling small claims court appearances.) Small claims courts are specifically designed to accommodate people who don't have a legal background. You usually just have to fill out a simple form, notify the company in writing that you're suing them, and then just show up to court with any kind of documents you can think of that might help you. (They don't have the strict rules of evidence that 'normal' courts do.) I'm not a big fan of people suing for whatever stupid inconvenience they run in to in life. But, it's becoming more and more obvious that Microsoft is at fault here, and they're making us consumers pay for it. And, to everyone who keeps saying 'it's your fault for not getting the extended warranty,' the warranty is to cover you in case you happened to end up w/ the bad apple of the bunch, NOT TO PROTECT YOU FROM A FLAW IN THE SYSTEM'S DESIGN!

I will agree....to an extent. All I can say is when your PS3 breaks down because you get one of the 10%+ that are going to be faulty dont come crying to us:) Cause we will just tell you to take them to small claims court :lol:
At a certain percentage a company will have to do a recall, MS hasnt reached that percentage yet, and hopefully it wont. Everyone seems to forget the PS2 fiasco it had more flaws in the begining than the 360 does. MS will take care of it...hopefully, and if they dont...Then we will get paid off in a class action lawsuit against them.....God I love America:roll:

Please sticky this thread asap, by the way you only have 90 days warrenty, after that, I think you'll have to pay a small amount of fees to repaire your xbox 360.masterchief2371

Agreed:) sticky,sticky,sticky
90 day warranty is correct to. Small fees is incorrect, they charge you 129.00-250.00 to repair a system after the 90 day warranty, regardless of consumer fault or the system just being faulty....That sucks:(
To me 129.00-250.00 is no small fee.
