why cant I play my games in color on my xbox 360 its in black in white?

When I turn the system on its in color for a few secounds then the color goes away no matter if you play a game or just let it sit there for a few. This is not a new system but every thing works but the color.

Well, if you have warranty, get a new one.

First thing you're going to want to do it test it on another TV. If the color works fine on another TV it might have something to do with the imput jacks on the one you're currently using.

If it's still in black and white, check the connections. With a lot of cables (s-video, component) the wires can fry out easily. I'd try changing them out before calling microsoft just to save time. The other thing is to make sure the connections are in the right place (either matching up the colors) and make sure they are in there tightly.

If you go through all of that and it's still black and white, it's an issue with the x-box and you'd want to call Microsoft to get it fixed/replaced under the warranty.
