MS Blew it with this box (none / 0)

I've gone through 4 XBOX's.

First one died with red rings of death - I did the Best Buy warranty and got it replaced immediately.

The second one had issues with the disk drive and I again did the Best Buy thing.

The third one died with the red rings of death (last December) - sent that back to MS.

Three to four weeks ago, the replacement died with the red rings of death again.

Luckily, this time, I was able to borrow an XBOX from a friend that does not use his that much and I was able to play GOW2.

This whole experience has soured my trust in MS. I was considering buying a Zune Player to replace my Creative .. but after this; I will not buy another piece of hardware from MS.

  Zune is actually very well made. I use mine everyday at work, had it just about a year now. I would recommend the Zune for sure.

  The app update put it so far beyond anything that any rivals have come out with.

      and I just shuffle music in and out every once in a while. If I really need space, I put videos on the touch and put all of my music on my old 30gb video.

        I am not going to clunk around two portables, and my Zune is much better than my old ipod video
