My son bought an X Box 360 from this store and had some problems with it. Screen freezing and making horrible noises. He was told that there was nothing wrong with the X Box.
Since then he moved to Michigan and I went to Best Buy to purchase one of my own. I did so yesterday, brought it home and played for several hours. Low and behold, it got the ring of death after one day of use.
I did research on this, as I'm sure we all have that have run into this problem, and it seems that certain suppliers use different solder and some are prone to overheat and break the connection from the mother board. The solder used is more brittle it seems. Wikkipedia, with give you all kinds of answers.
My complaint and buyer beware is this: Best Buy in Bradenton obviously uses the same supplier for their X Box 360s. Out of two that we have bought from them, in the amount of around $700, have had something wrong. Seriously wrong!
This store obviously has a bad batch. The latest one I purchase was made on 9/1. If you are looking to suprise that special child or just aquire one for yourself and find yourself at this Best Buy store #1141 in Bradenton, FL. I would be very wary of getting one here. Go to another store.
