ShotGun98 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Speak to Microsoft direct, they can normally be very good with this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol p Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've had 2 go down. Apparently the xboxes hate heat, it cracks the motherboards. I was told to raise it up by an inch on rubber doorstops or similar and so far the lastest one has lastest twice as long with no problems, cheap fix but don't tell Microsoft. They'll go bust.

Lloyd90 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Was a ball ache when my old xbox packed up! Hours wasted talking to call centres abroad who couldn't even understand me! Got a PS4 now. The console was cheaper and the specs of it were better. both are a bit of a rip off now though especially the games. Buy a game , then they want you to play online , then they want you to pay for certain items like the best equipment and to then pay for the updates and maps etc Taking the **** I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlerob Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 And then pay for a subscription to play the games online to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double10 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Stick with it, I still have my first xbox from 4 going on 5 years now and working as it did from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpkiller Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Stick with his 3rd one and hope that doesn't break like the rest. Its funny but reliability never popped into my head with the ps ive never had or heard of anyone having one break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Son is now on PS3 and has never had a problem with any of them but he's now talking of 'going PC' for his gaming, where you simply buy a monitor (as graphics are better apparently) and bolt on all the rest. It's all a mystery to me but sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpkiller Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Im a pc gamer as well although I do it on the cheap. Its bigger money for the computer and can be a bit of a palaver but the games are cheaper and you dont have to pay for memberships to play online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
