I have a question. I will be getting a 360 at the end of the month. Are the problems that plagued launch still existant with the consoles in stores at the moment?

[xboxexpert]

Its really a roll of the dice.   There still is only one version of xbox 360.

It "SHOULDN�T" be happening still, however i would basicaly try to get a Premium Bundle that "doesn�t" have the bonus media remote, or at least you should try to check the date written on the console, and try it to be from february o march, mine is from november and got 3 red lights (and came with bonus media remote)...

and as soon as you get it... get an intercooler

[Whybotherwithmine?]

yep, i got the three red lights of doom.  And I got the 0102 error code.  I talked to the M$ help support but all they gave me was  a complete load.  I guess I'm going to have to ship it out.  Only problem is the warranty ran out.  Does anyone know if I have to get the extended warranty to get it fixed?

- Whybotherwithmine
yea. its done

[vERdugox]

dude... when i called M$ they didn�t even asked me about warranty or where did i buy it or when, they only asked for the serial number and if it was bought in the U.S., mine is right now at the repair center, its suposed to be repaired, but they haven�t sent it back yet.....   .... they should have 2 days ago...


so... dont be afraid to send it in... make them repair their lack of quality...

I'm getting 0021. Funny thing is that it just happens sometimes. I could game for about 2 weeks without having a problem and than suddenly it would fail at startup or lock up during a game. And I will need to restart it like 20 times and then it will work back for a week or so. I'm sure it isn't a heat problem. It looks like if I move the console a bit it might work back (sometimes).

[grim_d]

dont be afriad to buy a 360, the reason you hear about so many consoles failing is because people who have working ones don't complain

say even you saw 30 people on here with defunk consoles, theres another 1000 whos are perfect

i was getting the 0101 - 0102 n another i forgot..0110 i think... lol.. so anyways.. heres what i did.. I bought a MS to put my xbl stuff there, games n account n other stuff i could fit... so anyways, i start playing the some games for 4 days the system has been working fine.. so i was thinking it was something with the GT being recovered, since this is my second system n i keep the hd from first.. so what i did today was but back my gt to hd.. didnt turned it on for 8 hrs... so i get home turn it on.. n bam 3 flashing lights, but system still boots up(0101 error) .. so i put my gt back to ms n took it off system... recovered it, this time it said something about my games saves or something like that....so anyways i proceed to recover it.. so now my gt its on hd n my ms(not connected to system) i will check again tomorrow if i get the 3 red lights.. have had only one freeze on dashboard so far

[GLiTcH]

ok, its been a couple of days n i can say that my xbox 360 hasnt had any more errors ... so yay for me...  

[GLiTcH]

damn it. it started doing it again  

[strider209]

damn it. it started doing it again  

Yep, I'm getting 0110 errors. I am now getting the 3 blinking lights on the ring of light about 99% of the time. When it does boot up, it only works at the most a few minutes. It looks as though MS has extended warranties past 90 days so you might have a chance.

GAD DAMN STUPID XBOX!!!!  i was playing an inportant ranked game on halo 2 when pow! the screen got all wierd and froze up. it kinda looked like the NES glitch up screens. you all know what i mean with all the blinking colors and crap. so i turned off my xbox after a period of screaming around and puching my room mate in the shoulder, turn it back on only to see none other than.... dun dun dun!!!!   the 3 blinking lights of doom!!!!   i got the code 0022.... can anyone shed some light on my situation? i would call MS but it it 6 in the morning and i stayed up all night pissed off trying to figure out what was wrong.

Now I got 0102. The Xbox 360 was booting up and suddely it froze (the X-logo). Turned it off and it wouldn't boot anymore. Tried now about 20 times. Guess this one is fatal...

Edit : Progress. After +- 40 reboots I got it working once. But now it's the 0020 error...

Edit2 : Works again. Shaking it really helps. They should put that in the manual...

OK, I think I found the problem. The protective foil was still on the GPU heatsink  
I hope there isn't any permanent damage...
