So my 360 which I had repaired only 2 and a half months ago has broken yet again giving me the E74 error. I am now at the point where I have to truly consider if buying a new 360 is worth it, you see since the release of the 360 I have bought 6 different models which have all broken down apart from one. (Which is at my dads for when any of the kids go to visit him or he wants to play Burnout) I have had everything from the 3 red lights to other problems as the 360's just kick the bucket one after the other eventually. So as it stands if my 360 can't be repaired again as part of the 3 month warranty I got with the last repair then I will be throwing it in the trash.
So just why don't I but a new 360 to go along with the 100+ games I own for the system? Well for one reason the new 360's have a different HDD so I can't just put my old one on and carry on with games I were part way through playing. Sure I can probably get a transfer kit and spend about 2 days transferring everything over from one drive to another, but why the hell should I? I know a few people that still have the same 360 they bought years ago; but I also know a lot more who have had trouble and replaced their consoles numerous times. I know more than likely I will end up getting another 360 eventually, it just pisses me off that system after system just keeps breaking while my Snes from the 90`s still works without any problems.
If you have a GameStop in your area, or whatever the EU equivalent is, things are a tad easier for you.
ReplyDeleteTransfer kits are considered "accessories" in GameStop's catalogue, so it's very easy to just buy one, use it, and return it for a full refund.
Sure it takes a little while, but it's not so bad that you couldn't go make lunch or something while it works. :D
