XBOX 360 Problems

Does it do this with any other games?

Could be just a bad disc.

If the drive is making a grinding noise, that has to be a hardware issue. Gates needs to whip his sweatshop workers into shape!

see thats the issue I don't have anymore gaes to test it out seeing as I just got it, but then when I was playing a demo of Amped last night the graphics kinda wigged out to and thats on the hard drive, So I'm thinking I need to exchange both just to be safe since they are so new.

Not to scare you but... check this thread (http://www.redskinswarpath.com/madden-nfl/16207-my-360-bit-the-dust-already.html?highlight=XBOX+360).

yeah I remember seeing that thread, but thats half the reason I hadnt got one til now figured the things woulda been fixed by now apparently I was wrong

Microsoft gives them all 1 year warranties now i thought, anywho just kick it untill the red light pops up and send it to microsoft, maybe even try the towl trick i heard that works too.

it is 3 years now.

I remember back when I had my first 360 and the red circle of doom came up and I thought I had fried my system but noticed when I detatched the HD the system worked fine and it was just the HD that was fried and there was no need to buy a new system just a new HD. Saved a bunch of money.

My 360 died this morning. It was one of the original crappy ones.

I called Xbox this morning and they are replacing it no questions asked.

moment of silence for jamf's 360
