What gamefeen was trying to say is this:
You have a defective Xbox360

I also get error 64 after I see the xbox 360 logo go up. I was watching a dvd on it and it kept stopping and I finally rebooted it and I havent been able to do anything since. This is ridiculous for on the first day to have so many problems like this. Even before this happened I was saying that they should wait until they could meet at least half the demand, not to mention testing their product before shipping. I now see that these problems have been wide spread and MS will lose customers because of it.

It really does suck that this is happening. Im not being a smart ass. I really empathize with you guys. Only time in my life I am glad I am poor cause Id be in the same boat.

I'd personally go get a refund, and just wait until a more reliable version is released.

From the looks of it, MOST of them are defective.
Everybody I know that has one has some kind of issue that prevents them from playing games.

I dont know if I should believe all the ppl who post a msg having a problem with their x360, it is a little strange to me, because I hope ms did some testing before starting mass production, this means xbox360 is pretty fucked and you should wait till 2006 before getting yours, Or those ppl are posting those msges to prevent ppl buying one to make sure they are getting theirs or maybe sony fanboys , who knows

I think the people with out problems (the majority) are too busy playing games and watching movies to come on here and talk about how bug free their console is
I know 10 or so people personally who got 360s... none of them have any problems at all. I haven't had a single problem with my unit.
If you consider the number of people on these forums who got 360 the number of people who are actually claiming problems is relatively low.

that's the thing.. only people who ever report here are the ones that have problems, not the ones that don't have problems. there's at best 20, 30 people actually having issues.. out of hundreds of thousands machines sold.

That is still quite disturbing to me. I was planning on getting one (aqnd may still do so) but I'm going to wait for one of two events first: people start breaking them (so I can start fixing them), or Halo3. -nB

Sorry about your 360, Zhaus. Personally, I had a 360 come with a cracked faceplate, and had called EB. After a few minutes of arguing back and fourth they had someone higher up then that actual store call me. At this point he had said he would put my name on the list for the next batch of 360s and then call me in to exchange it. Hopefully you'll be able to get something similair done with your machine.

Most? That would be more then a 50% chance of bringing home a defective console. I doubt it's even 5%. If the ratio was as big as you think it is all over the news there would be headlines of "$400 For A Red Glowing Box" instead of "360 Launches and the Lines Are Huge!!"
bad headlines, but I'm sure you get the point.

Let me get the ball rolling by saying my 360 works 100%.

M$ said that the xbox defetion rate is 1 out 20. So 1 of every 20 consoles are bad.

Sorry, try again... MS actually said it's "less than the average new product defect rate of 3%"
Also if you look at the X-S poll it works out to 2.5% of poll takers who are 360 owners claim to have defective consoles, so it pretty much confirmed what MS said.
As for error code 64, it's hard drive error, try removing and reseting the hard drive, if that doesn't' work, try removing it completely.
BTW that's in the sticky too
