I bought a 360 a month ago, and the power box in the chord went dead after a day. So I went back and got a new one, and after 2 weeks it started grinding as loud as a blender. So I replaced that one with a 3rd power chord, and it was completely dead! At that point I lost all faith in the 360 and returned the whole damn system, having wasted $120 on two games.


A damn shame too because they really do have the best games. I was addicted to Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect. But clearly Microsoft are a bunch of cheap assholes who aren't too concerned with quality.
