Microsoft owns up to "E74" 360 errors, expands warranty
Submitted by: KnightMare @ 03:26 PM | Tuesday, April 14, 2009 | (url: http://arstechnic...)
A popular gaming blog tracked a new kind of Xbox 360 error, the E74, and Microsoft has finally owned up and added the issue to the three-year "Red Ring of Death" warranty. This is a win for consumers, but it's yet another black eye for Microsoft's hardware.
While Xbox 360 systems may be known more for the dreaded "red ring of death" than any other hardware failure, one gaming blog has been tracking the rise of the "E74" error, an issue that causes the console to crash and show a multi-language kill screen. You'll also get a single red section on your system's power button. Microsoft is aware of the problem, and has since amended it's three-year warranty to cover the error.

uh me i guess. i never got my 360 fixed b.c i got an e74 error and those fags wanted 100 bucks to fix it since it wasnt under the warranty. guess i might actually get it fixed now.Originally posted by KnightMarethe people who own these pieces of shit?
Mine is slowly dying. I got one of the 60 gig versions and from time to time the video freaks out. Displays 2 of everything in weird colors. I am gonna have to call them to get it worked on soon. I've only had it 7 months and maybe put about 40 hours on it.

the real joke is that people will continue to buy them, and will buy the next xbox model.
I've had mine for nearly two years with no errors. Maybe it's all about not leaving the fucking thing on 24/7.
i don't leave mine on. especially not while i'm not playing. i also have the auto-shutdown option on, so if i did somehow leave it on, it would still turn off in 6 hours. i also have my xbox in the horizontal position.
shit happens. no rhyme or reason to it besides microsoft not making "the highest" quality product.
