Not broken enough??

My 360 is, in short, down right frustrating to play. Constant freezes, not reading brand new discs, and heating up my room like a furnace. Seriously, when I play Rock Band, I have to take off a couple layers to survive.

I called MS Support for the 13th time today and they finally said, "Okay, we believe you're 360 is broken. That'll be $110.00."

The person I talked to told me this was a symptom of the RROD, but not quite there yet. It was going to happen. Just not yet. Thanks for the warranty that only covers 1 problem, Microsoft. Well, it looks like I'm stuck with this heaper until it finally just RROD already and I can get it fixed for free...

Does anyone here have a 360 that hasn't caused them any problems? because I think I'm going to rob you.

Yeah, I thought of inducing my own RROD before and decided to leave it as a last resort. But then my 360 froze during GTA 4.

Again :|

So now I'm going to heat this mofo up like it's no one's business.

Smother your 360 and leave it on overnight. Guaranteed RRoD.Verge_6

Seriously. Wrap it in a towel with it on (NO GAME IN TRAY) and turn it upside down. The heat should weaken the solder on the heat sink and gravity will do its thing, crippling the system, and giving you one RRoD'd 360.

Well if you can't stand it you could always force it to RROD.Ibacai

I find the wool coat method works best.

You are describing my first 360. Mine RROD after several months of ****, before that it just froze 5 times a day.

My first (from sept 06) 360 froze more times in the first week than my launch PS2 did in 6 or so YEARS. But the new one I got is pretty nice, only frozen 2-3 times this year.

I had my 360 since launch. It's currently 2 years and 5 months old and it's still kicking :)

Hadn't had any problems except for a five console freeze in it's run of play-time dominance in my room :D

Well, I officially have the best 360 ever. It hasn't given in after a night of heat upside down. It's almost a shame that I have to RROD it to solve it's other problems...funnymario

I suggest wrapping a towel around the brick since people aren't intelligent enough to give it proper ventilation. If the brick don't have ventilation, it'll overheat causing the 360 to RRoD.

I question the possibility of a TOS violation in this thread by discussing how to break a 360 to get a free warranty. Might want to be careful guys.Cook66

There is nothing wrong with discussing this.

Only Jody would try to warp something like this into an offense, and I don't think she frequents this board.

Well 2 hours in, music playing, GTA safely removed, and it's still going. This thing knows just how to piss me of. Anyway, I'll flip it over and give the whole night.[QUOTE="kage_53"]

I am starting to have problems also. It won't read GTAIV most of the time, yet it reads all the old games I own.

...maybe I need to dust the laser...

Wow. I agree with Cook. This could be an illegal action. blizzvalve

I think so also but what kind of crime, stealing?

You win, that pretty much destroys all.

On a topic related note, its easy to always install more fans or other forms of better cooling on a PC.

Wait, Macs can play games? :P

Anyone who buys that thing is a tool for Apple in my eyes.

Oh noes! What can I do to stop him? Oh Wait...

Bring it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't even been home for 2 days. I see this thread has effectively hijacked :P

Incredibly, MS still refuses to set up an order. "Have you tried...." YES, YES I HAVE. LET ME SEND IT IN NOW. "Okay. But how about...." That just keeps going until either one of us get's bored. One more attempt today and then I'm marching down there.

Give it a scissor kick.
