2 weeks without a console sucks at the mo tho see how it goes anyway..
karma?i bought from play last week.. that thing blew up after 10 mins, so bought one from a highstreet store instead and swapped it for my dodgy one from play and took it back.. now this one keeps saying the disc needs fricking cleaning..
no, unfortunately its only available using the warranty card that came in the box so as long as you still have that then happy days.Is the warranty available via the Xbox website? My 360 is a year old next month.
we all saw the my 172 is knackered threads before we bought our cars but we still bought them, if something is that good you will put up with a few niggles that happen, being without your car for a day as its at a garage is only like sending your xbox off.I was toying with the idea of getting a 360 when the price drops (I'm not a cheapskate but I know I wont use it often so no point in paying through the nose for it) but these "my 360 is fucked" type threads seem a little too commonplace for my liking.

I have no problem with mine, used regulary. Did all these 'my renaultsport is fucked' threads put you off getting one.
Trust me they are few and far between.
don't see why not if they did mine, i filled in the credit card instructions and checked a few days after and it was on my statement. Then two days after that i had to claim on it as mine broke but it was out of the 12 months by then and they didn't question it.I'll check the box and see if my warranty card is there. Wonder if they will honour it.

its also the same as the car where you only tend to get threads about people's who have broken, not from those who have no problems, they are less vocal.
true but for a week of not having your console you have 51 fantastic weeks so IMO thats worth it even if it does go wrong, its an easy process and with minimum fuss, my car has been in the garage probably 5 days this year for little things, doesn't matter how little the fault though, i'm still without my car for the entire day normally.we all saw the my 172 is knackered threads before we bought our cars but we still bought them, if something is that good you will put up with a few niggles that happen, being without your car for a day as its at a garage is only like sending your xbox off.

I bought my 172 before I found cliosport and tbh I cant think of a list of the engine/headgasket etc has gone threads in the years I've been here. So I'd hardly compare the minor rattles and clunks people suffer with the constant terminal cases I've read about 360's, and thats just on here which isnt even a gaming site!
The fact that some people havnt suffered doesnt change the fact that a hell of alot seem to have had a faulty unit or in several cases more than one!
I'm not disputing that with every product you will get a certain number of issues/faults/failures but at the moment I'd sooner wait until they've ironed the bugs out. We're a year on from release and there still seem to be all too frequent posts on here about 360's that have packed up.

IMO and i kow most people that own one will agree, the fact that it MIGHT go wrong and be without it for a week is nothing compared to the best gaming experience you can get still and with added High Def movies to go with it.
Having had mine go wrong I wouldn't hesitate buying one again, best gaming i have ever had!
