CONFIRMED: MS's new 360 slim is "incapable" of RROD (link)

LINK

Cool beans for people hesitant to buy an xbox

"According to these specs, the "new S console" is about 17% smaller than the original and also physically incapable of getting the red ring of death. No, that doesn't mean the console won't break -- instead, the Xbox 360 slim lacks a red "ring of light." If your console runs into some fatal error, expect it to flash green."

RROD became GROD. That's all that happened. =P

I just copyrighted "Green Ring Of Death" and "GROD".

lol did you read your own article or is this a joke? :P

Finally this is the news i wanted to hear

EDIT: Nevermind :x

I don't think you read the whole article TC.

regardless, I'd bet it's a very low rate now. of course some will break, and I expect that to be blown out of proportion around these parts.

It can't get RROD because there is no red LEDS :lol:

Sky-

GROD has an actual good ring to it.

lol sweet soon there will be millions of new xbox owners complaining about the GROD,

Looks like MS is pulling out all the stops to get away from the dreaded RROD term, but not actually improving hardware failure rates.

Let's see who gets a GROD first!

Too late.

^ Gorilla Grodd will kill you for saying GROD.

Prior art? Pfffffft! I'll see you and your gorilla in court.

I'll will go the store this weekend and if I see one I will get one on the spot.

i guess only time will tell

when we saw the leaked motherboard, it was overkill in the cooling department

personally i'm still confident about eventually buying one of the new "S" consoles

The f is coning?

It sounds dirty.

Oh, thanks, Microsoft. :lol:

And the slim PS3 doens't get YLOD! :lol:

Great, i may get one when it has a price cut soon, finally the deal is justified. RROD was a major tun ff for me.

i hope the new x360 doesn't have its own "X"ROD , "X"= any color other than red :D .

Finally this is the news i wanted to hear

EDIT: Nevermind :x

EPaul

it has 45n chip, the ps3 is more likely to break than the 360 now. also i hav a xbox with a 55n chip and it never broke. the only 360 that has serious issues are the one that are witht he 65n chip they tend to overheat alot.

PS3 was using 45nm chip since september

Where are you pulling this from? The article didn't say anything about not improving failure rates. It just said that if there is a hardware issue, a green light will flash instead. We still don't know the failure rate of the new 360, so I really don't get what basis you have for speculating in this way.

Giancar

Are you talking about the article or the fact that the fatal errors will have a green signal instead?

If it's the latter, why is that lame? There will always be console failures.

I think people need to see how the failure rates are when people start bringing home these 360 slims before acting like GROD=RROD all over again.

OK, I get what you think is lame, but your post doesn't really convey that particular meaning at all.

Green isn't a primary color.

Blue, Red and Yellow are. :P

Blue and Yellow make Green, so we're 2.5/3.0 of the way there. (even though decimals aren't supposed to be in fractions)

Well green is a less threatening color than red, so well done Microsoft. :P

Its funny, because TC is "technically" right. It can't get RROD now, because the light is green now, it wouldn't make any sense!

And the slim PS3 doens't get YLOD! :lol:

xhawk27

And the slim PS3 doens't get YLOD! :lol:

Lol, I knew it would be like that! I wonder if this model will break as much as the fat one. Will wait for GROD.

"Man, my system GROD'ed. :/"

That's going to be the next line of complaints should that happen.

If only the PS3 had a Blue light instead of yellow we could get a RGBLOD. Many lulz to removing the red LEDs from the system, I guess if you can't fix it...cover it up.Jynxzor

This is pure conjecture and it doesn't really make sense, because:

How would that cover it up? If failures still happen in droves, they will still get complaints in droves.

I lold at the article, especially since you can't just read the title of it. get ready for a GROD sticky in the 360 forumKevinButlerVP

doubt it.

Jasper revisions drowned out RRoD a lot as is. 2% first year I think+(Square Trade)? so yeah....this thing has vents covering 35% of the top and it has a better cooling system.

a sticky won't happen;)
