hi all. my x box 360 has just packed up.Not the ring of death thing though.The screen went a bit blotchy so i turned it off then back on and all i get now is a black screen.Has anyone else had this happen to theirs?looks like output to tv has gone faulty.A bit of a downer really as the kids wont be able to play with their new games at christmas.

a pal of mine told me the extra warranty only applies to the red ring thing,but he could be wrong.i rang x box who said there system was down and to ring back after 5 hours(probably when hes finished his shift lol.)

Go and buy a new one(same model) and stick the faulty one in the box and return it for a refund. The store gets full credit from Microsoft so everyones a winner.

My sons PS3 stopped being able to read discs last week, he's had it for just under a year
phoned up Playstation support and they're picking it up and dropping it back off repaired within 14 days

Both are good machines and hopefully the PS3 online catches up soon.
Bamba, walk into Argos buy the same model of console you have, stick your faulty one in the box and get a refund. Problem solved without any hassle.

Mine blew this month (topic about it in IT/Gaming section) and it was back in 2 weeks, all I had to do is pick up the phone and box it they collected and did the rest. No problem considering how good its been (Xbox live) for 1 year!

My mate at work had this happen to his, he rang up and told them it has the ring of death and he got his replacement Friday (1 week and 1 day after sending it) ..no questions asked. I bet they dont even test them...or if they do then just claim it must have been damaged in the post.
Either way you'll get a fresh xbox....good luck.
