As to taking Microsoft to court over the matter, the simple fact is we can prove that there was a systemic fault with the 360, unfortunately Microsoft have owned up to this problem and are sorting it free of charge thus their is nothing to actually gain by taking legal action against them. Kinda sucks but that's where we stand... if they continued charging for repairs it'd of been a different matter...

As an avid gamer this is the first games machine that has broken down on me. I have had a spectrum 128k/master system/mega drive/ps1/ps2/n64/xbox and have never had an issue with the hardware of the product. To say that I am miffed is an understatment. To top it of microsofts' customer service befits that of a poorly run corner shop selling out of date products when asking for a refund. Is there an industry watchdog that can hold 'soft to account, if so why is no action being undertaken.

You say you have an error message if it’s one of these

It’s a HDD failure, try taking the HDD off and reconnecting it, this can sometimes solve the problem, if not, it’s either the Store to replace / purchase a new HDD or call Xbox customer torture service.

I was playing and the screen went a light pink color. I switched it off to see if it was just a glitch in the game. Now all I get is an error message and a red light in the corner of the ring.
