Losing all confidence with Microsoft.

[Matthew]

Well, this is now my third xbox (two 360s and one XBONE) and all of them have broken within a month or so.

Had the XBONE 8 days and its nackered. The fan is on constantly and is louder than the surround sound.

They are having to replace it next week via a courier. Do they have some serious quality control issues or something?

I'm three for three on failures now.

 

[Wilkeh]

Do you keep it in an enclosed space?

 

[Jack!]

I've had two fail on me within the first month, the last one with the same issue as you, fan constantly at full speed.

Luckily their replacement service is good, but it's still annoying.

No. It's just on the TV stand on its own.

Yeah to be honest I didn't have a hard time getting it replaced (maybe as its only 8 days old).

Although the MS offshore call centre tried to tell me it was my TV not the XBOX ha.

No, you don't send them the HDD (This was with 360s, I don't know how it works with the One).

Seems unlucky.

Ive had a 360 and now a One and both have been faultless thus far.

 

[Adamm.]

My 360 is a c**t, pondering on getting the one or just another 360 now.

Mine struggles reading disks. Takes about 30 mins to read a game then crashes after about 2 hours, very annoying!

Take the xbox apart and clean the lense

I've had a xbox since 2008 and never had a issue.

 

[Iain C]

It's a new console. It will have problems. You've got a warranty? Play stations are nearly as flakey.

Hmmm, might give it ago, knowing my luck I'll bust the whole thing though. Easy task?

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

I'll pm you about it shortly. Just cleaning my car

the xbone's HDD is irreplaceable so it will have to be sent.
