I had to send mine in again Aug 21st. I just got it back last week. Thelast time I got it quickly... this time it was a month. I wonder if they are running short on refurb units to send back.
You will get a 1 month credit to Xbox Live though.

I guess I've just been lucky so far because I run mine a lot lately. Just as long as it keeps working for Halo 3 which I'll be starting into tonight To answer the question though, I had a friend that was without for over a month.

To be honest, no games on 360 thats intriguing to me (except forza2/halo3/bioshock)... I own a PS3 and have been super happy with it... and it doesnt get the red ring of death Got a bunch of games and looking forward to a bunch more! I don't care if you think its crap, if you think that, you need to play with one... always bad press, but a superb piece of equipment fully recommended although my friends have them, including one whos gone through 3 360's... they usually took a week or two round trip including shipping...

Not everyone has issues... in fact the large majority don't. But once you have an issue you will likely have issues again since they send you back a refurb unit.

Nope, every 360 now comes with a 3 year RRoD warranty and only RRoD. Apparently they won't fix it for free unless that's the problem. The RRoD that i'm referring to is the one with 3 lights (massive hardware failure), 4 light means your cables are messed up. Also, when they ask, and only if they ask tell them that the light on the power pack is GREEN when the system is on and you experience problems. If the power light is any other color than green, they will not fix your system for free.

Got my 360 launch day and so far so good. So they are not all defective. Of course it still could die who knows. Funny as the guy with the ps3 was saying there aren't many 360 games he likes or wants. I feel the same about current PS3 games. Very few sony has exclusive that I would buy a PS3 for. And have hd dvd already added it to 360 so the blu ray is not that big a feature either to me right now. Now I have a ps2 also and an xbox but will tell you something. Sony is not what it used to be. There warranty service on my near top of the line projection sxrd 60inch was pathetic and after going thru months and months of hassles with sony finally got a refund from store I bought it from. Sony can kiss my ass! I used to live and die sony. Almost everything in my house is sony. So hoping the PS3 don't get any big problems down the road. And have to add that currently Sony has no game that can touch Halo3 and resistance is not in the same league at all with Halo3. Sonys main big name series were final fantasy, ace combat and socom. Ace Combat 6 is now on 360 not sure if its going to ps3. Socom well not a huge deal and final fantasy is not my kind of game. Most other games are now multiplatform.
Sony needs some serious exclusive games and it needs them soon. I will eventually get a ps3 although hear it dont' even make the older ps2 games look better?? 360 does make earlier xbox games look better.And Halo1 and halo2 are two of the best of the best on xbox.

Different games hard to compare the two.
From the review I read I might be disappointed with COD4. Apparantly there is more emphasis on non-stop action vs. realism. I was hoping they'd take a step towards the realism of GRAW at the same time as trying to catch up graphics wise. Sounds like it will play very much like the rest of the COD games but just look way better. I hope that's wrong.
I really wish every FPS would have a 'just behind the player' view like GRAW and Gears because I get motion sickness playing FPS shooters on my TV. COD2 and 3 as well as Bioshock give me some degree of motion sickness. I wonder if Halo will too.

Is Call of Duty 4 for the PS3? That game rivals Halo 3 apparently. Yes COD4 is on PS3 aswell. The game kicks ass!! I had the online beta and I loved it. But if your not a fan of COD2 you will not enjoy it as much.

Keep trying... the ring might yet still come. Mine froze for a couple days the second time before the RROD came up. COD4 kicks ass. I beat it on Hardened and am making my way through on Vetran now. The first level I did on Vetran was the sniper level... lots of fun. Now I am stuck in the damn tv station. Online my rank is currently 55 but I'll be going to prestige I since 3x frag grenade is making getting kills a little too easy .

In counter-point,
I've had no real bugs. I love the 'blades'. LOVE the xVid/DivX interface to Windows Media Player on my PC.
The rest is in the games. They look great, and are a ton of fun.
