Mine did that on the 27th. An Elite console which was brand new after being returned after my another E74 error. my warranty has expired too.

pretty sick to be honest.

ok.

I must admit that I too am on my 7th XBOX 360. Call me a glutton for punishment or whatever.

However, I am still playing on my original PS3 and have logged nearly equal playing time on both consoles. If only PSN were equal to XBOX Live, which it isn’t. Though I will admit that they are getting closer with each update. I would have long since got rid of my XBOX 360.

I only bash Sony/PS3 because they should be doing more to support their console. They barely advertise, and go off on tangents (like Home and Photo app) when they should be SOLELY working on improving the PSN.

Home is a complete and utter waste of Sony developers time. This was no doubt created at the behest of some executives wife/girlfriend. It has effeminate undertones written all over it. I fully imagine whoever is in charge of the vision of the Playstation Network telling his wife/girlfriend that they are looking to add in-game cross chat and party invites to the PSN, and they roll their eyes and say something like “… oh, but can’t we have pretty pictures and Unicorns?” And that executive immediately redirects all efforts to something totally unimportant to Playstation gamers to gain favor with their wife/girlfriend.

Home is a joke and a waste of time.

Did you really buy a Playstation to sit in a virtual Bowling Alley waiting in a long line to play bowling?!?!? Bowling?!?!? This isn’t the Wii and you are not elderly/kids.

Oh, and how about the legendary comment from Sony to the effect that all games released after January 2009 must have trophies. 50 Cent Blood on the Sand (a really good game surprisingly) has NO as in ZERO trophy support! Why did Sony allow this game to proceed to certification and release if there was no trophy support?!?!?! It’s stuff like this that bugs me.

Same exact thing happened to me. Had to pay 90 dollars to get it fixed. The “E 74″ error is the new Red Ring. Very disappointed it happened, but I have to much invested in the 360 to give up on it. I’ll also be getting a PS3 when the price drops.

that sucks, but I got my xbox about 1 year after it launched so I have the original chip set and I still have the same one, I know its hard to believe. I keep mine on top of our entertainment system so it gets very good ventilation. I have not had it over heat, and I have left it on for over 12 hours, I think the key is to keep it in the open so it gets lots on air. or its because I live in Michigan and our house is 69 in the winter and 72 in the summer, thats in the house outside its in the teens in the winter and in the 80′s in the summer.

There’s a reason why you have been through 5 Xboxs. You love Xbox. What else in life would you go through the hassel of sending off and waiting for? It sux that they crap out so frequent, but when you actually make the PS3 your main gaming system, you’ll be crawling back to the 360 in 2 weeks.

After you’ve beaten the 4 possibly 5 good PS3 games, you will want to get back on LIVE and play with your buddies. Just wait until you have to deal with the PSN and you’ll see how its worth it to go through the red ring problems….
