360 : It's dead :(

Desmo · 29-12-2009, 16:31

Got three red lights just before heading off to Swansea last week but a re-start saw the box fire up again.

Just got back from work to pop it on again and just getting three red lights all the time now

Pretty sure I'm well outside of the warranty now so what's my best option? Just buy the cheapest arcade I can?

Probably, and there are some good arcade deals around (trade the games in to offset the cost).

I think this will tell you about the warranty status:

Can't remember the original purchase date but it was 11 months old when I first bought it and just managed to get that exchanged when I got my first set of three reds. Pretty sure I've had it way more than another two years since then but will check that page out

Will check those deals out

Argos have one for £125 with a few games I could keep or sell on. Will have a look around.

Could sack it off and get a PS3 of course, everyone else seems to be

Desmo · 29-12-2009, 16:49

No chance

I like the 360

On that warranty page, if I fill in the info will it tell me if I'm in my warranty? Do I need the receipt at any stage?

They never asked me for the receipt when I sent mine back a couple of years ago.

Just the console serial number.

Daz · 29-12-2009, 16:53

Never asked me for a recepit on the phone a couple of years ago. Never even asked for date of purchase iirc.

Desmo · 29-12-2009, 16:58

Put in the serial number from the back and it shows it's out of date....but...manufacture date on the back of the console shows 2006 - 10 - 20. Surely the warranty should run from date of purchase and not manufacture? I reckon I might have a chance to dispute it as it';s literally only a month or two over the manufacture date. Got to be worth a try?

Daz · 29-12-2009, 16:59

Aye, give them a bell. They can only say no
