Xbox 360 Feature on BBC's Watchdog!

[M17TT C]

Apparently on tomorrows episode of Watchdog, they will be doing a feature on the Xbox 360 about how unreliable it is! I had a couple of problems in the first week I had mine but have failed to re-surface so fingers crossed it is OK.

Anyone else had any problems with theirs or know of anyone that has had a console that has broken?

mine is one of the launch consoles-had no problems at all

Thats good to here, as I have read somewhere that Microsoft have admitted that there was a fault with the launch batch of consoles but refused to do anything about it!!

Mine was a launch batch no issues with it.

Depends how you look after too.

You mean if you use it or not??

How do you not look after your Xbox, apart from the obvious stuff like spilling stuff on it or throwing it at a wall or somethng?

I had 3 disc read errors within the first week of having it! I did nothing apart from take it out the box, hooked up the leccy and then to the tv and played on it. That is not exactly not looking after it is it?

Moving it while its playing while standing its end (not flat)

By giving the big power pack ventilation as well as the console which can overheat if it can't get rid of the hot air.

Some of the things you can do!

Ah you don't want to take any notice of people that have paid almost £300 for a piece of equipment that has been unreliable within a year.

And of course, the fact that Watchdog just make up all of their complaints as well just adds fuel to the fire not to watch Watchdog. :icon_roll:

I have more experience than you do of Watchdog Matt, I'm not referring to Microsoft

Why were you one of them dodgey builders on it the other day that rob old people?

Was only trying to get your reasons for not believing Watchdog out of you!

The bit on the 360 was a joke anyway, more like an advertising feature for Microsoft!

Anyone seen how ugly the first person complaining is? Fecking scary.

My X box put a big scratch in pro evo, and that was within a week of taking it out of the box. Microsoft won't accept responsibility for it either, despite the fact I know the Xbox wasn't moved and was kept in all the right conditions.
