It pisses me off as I bought it second hand from a retail store who says I need to send it to Microsoft, however because it was second hand the warranty with Microsoft has already run out. I dont have any idea what to do.

Help?]]>Mar 25th 2009 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/Sep 8th 2009 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/http://360redlightsfix.jimdo.com/]]>Dec 19th 2009 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/

At first, the console just froze and I'd restart it and play the game just fine. But last night, it froze and when I tried to restart, it bricked on me.

I love my 360, but now I won't have it over Christmas break, which is not cool.]]>Dec 7th 2006 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/Dec 6th 2006 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/latest-xbox-360-update-causing-problems-for-some/
Because 360 is made with "off the shelf" parts, it now sells at a profit. 360 never cost $1200 to manufacturer and now costs about $325 to make. In fact, your 4 month old console was probably sold at a profit.

Well, what it shows is that consoles *with upgradeable firmware* have problems.

You know, there *was* a day when we'd all buy our game systems and we'd put in our games and we'd play them and that would be that for the next 5 or 10 years or whatever. There was never any need to "update" the system software because it worked just fine as it was. And nobody had such an update forced upon them that then bricked their system, whether it be over the internet or included on a game disc or anything else.

Those were what we in the bidness call "the good old days." And they lasted from the early 1970's until approximately 2002, when the first Xbox "dashboard" update appeared.

You know, I have no interest in downloadable content and I had nothing but negative experiences playing online via XBL when I was a subscriber. When I do finally buy into this generation of systems, I will probably just leave whatever console I choose disconnected from my network. There's no reason a game console should need a "firmware update" in my book. In the good old days, we used to call that a "repair". If it ain't broke, why fix it, right? And if it is broke, then I ain't giving them the chance to break it worse.

Just say no to firmware updates!
