I bought my first 360 yesterday (albeit a pre-owned one) from a reputable high street chain, and after literally 20mins of gameplay got the 3 red rings of death! took it back and they swapped it for a working one, got that home and tried to play a game and the disc refuses to spin on any game!! another well known fault apparently! aarrgghh.

Should I sack it in and get my money back or try one last time?

3rd time lucky!

Never get a pre-owned one it could have been tampered with

I've never had ANY problems and i've used xbox's for years.

I think I'll try and complain/haggle with them tomorrow and see if I can get a new one as a replacement at no extra cost. If you don't ask, you don't get!

The 360 is definately worth the hastle! Check out the Assassins creed series and also the Halo series, Halo Reach is awesome!

Buy one new.

The new slim is great, not had any problems with mine.

Or just get a PS3... they have Bluray too, and free internet, and you don't need battaries for the controllers

You also can't play games online for days at a time due to Sony incompetence.

Ok, so in the end I ended up getting a new 250Gb slim... was a bit more money, but looks good and very happy with it's performance.

Yeah you could do that if you want your credit card/personal details at risk
