RROD is covered by a three year warranty. Simply go to http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/default.htm or call customer service and they will cover a courier to pick up the console from you and ship you back a fixed one. You even get a free months 'Xbox Live'

Shows good customer service as I don't think that Nintendo or Sony extend their warranty coverage for free.

Take it you haven't heard about the yellow light of death then? You know, where the ps3 breaks down. Also, online play for the ps3, laggy as can be, that's if it works and doesn't have any updates to do.
Operation failed...

Do you get this issue with the 360? No. Why?
Because it wasn't made by Sony.
Sony sucks ass, you're too much of a snob to admit it.
The blu ray facility is all well and good, but, its not worth having for the price of a blu ray dvd. I just sold my ps3, its crud.


sorry this thread is about xbox, please follow forum rules and keep on topic. thanks.

Are you for real Gary? Is that honestly how you think... Sony "sucks" My PS3 is actually ace online. I've never had it crash because of a "DNS Error". And the reason that Xbox servers are better, is because they are created by Microsoft, not outsourced like the PS3's... Hence paying £40 a year. And I've had the flashing light that killed my last, preowned PS3. However, my bro had one of the first 360's about here, and that died... instantly. Before we even knew what RROD was, it killed the computer before the game even loaded. Excellent. Oh, and I own both consoles. I just feel the PS3 is a far better machine to use. As I've said in another thread, both are actually shit when it comes to quality. I've never known a Megadrive or PS1 having hardware failure.

What you will need to do is register your console and check the warranty status, then just click request a repair and follow the insrtuctions.

Fine, I'll correct that.

IMO THE PS3 IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT I'VE EVER OWNED.
