I actually still have my original 20GB console which is of course the first to be released and I somehow managed to get mine on month of release as a Christmas presents with two games. Kameo and King Kong were the first two games I received and for the time the graphics were awesome. The only reason people buy King Kong now is to get the easy achievement points from and Kameo is always seen coming in at around £10. Of course a lot of games go down in price overtime because they are now made in such large quantities.
The main issue is with the console and not the games. If you have an xbox 360 then you know te pain and outrage you feel when you see the box showing the red rings of death, basically if you are not aware of this it means the console is dead.
I have done this twice now and although I am still happy with the service I received they haven’t even fixed the problem with the newer consoles. There aren’t enough fans within the console itself so when it overheats it will slowly begin to melt away the soldering on the motherboard which then of course breaks the console. There is a way you can fix the console for a short period of time, wrap it in a wet towel, this will not make it work for long so it is best to get it sent off.
A good idea might be to put more fans into the system itself? There is already an issue with the loudness of the console, adding more fans could really cause another problem. So basically the users are going to have to put up with this problem until the next console. The repair service is free within three years purchase which is nice and it hasn’t stopped me from ordering my brand new 250GB special edition “super” elite.
It is funny how far ac fans and a few electrical components can go isn’t it?
