Xbox 360 ‘Ring of Death’ tackled by BBC Watchdog

Recently, BBC television program, Watchdog tackled the rather unpleasant Xbox 360 ‘Ring of Death’ condition which has burdened dedicated Xbox 360 fans since the next-generation console’s debut release over a year ago.

Watchdog went ahead with the program after receiving as many as 250 unique complaints from Xbox 360 gamers. Watchdog reported that not only are users plagued by problems within faulty units, Microsoft is threatening to charge customers with as much as £80-£85 for a repair fee, after just a year of use.

But Microsoft then conceded: “That being said, we have received a few isolated reports of consoles not working as expected. It’s important to note that there is no systemic issue with the Xbox 360 - each incident is unique and these customer inquiries are being handled on a case-by-case basis.”
