If you like, could you state how long you've owned an XBOX 360, like the month and year you purchased or recieved and approx. when your XBOX 360 became defective?

I'd also like to hear of any other current gen systems you may have had that have malfunctioned for future polls for the purpose of personal number gathering.

Thanks.

I suggest you remove the poll. The results will be tainted with fanboy.

Haha. Ha. :|

Whatever. Fact of the matter (whether you realize it or not) is cows don't like the 360. Cows will vote for the first option just to spite the 360. And therefore, the results will be skewed.

1. Not everyone who votes will post.

2. Yes, the poll is neutral. But, that won't stop 360 fanboys from voting the 2nd option and it won't stop other fanboys from voting the first option. There are some honest voters in the mix but I'm sure the fanboys outnumber them.

I have no doubt that cows will probably skew the poll results, but what I'm getting at is the fact that cows skewing the poll results don't negate or change the fact that the red ring is a real design problem. Every lemming is going to come in here and cite skewed poll results to try to and undermine the fact that it's a real issue.

You have made this thread before...http://media.ign.com/boards/images/icons3/other_awesomenessShiftyEyes.gif

I have multiple times, but I don't know anyone in real life who has been RROD'd, strangely.

I don't think he ever denied that it was a problem, his point was the results will be meaningless. Which is true. Fanboys on both sides are going to just vote whichever most benefits their side.

I'm on my second, and own two. When my first one broke, i didn't get it repaired right away and instead bought a second on for cheap. Then MS said they'd fix them all for free, so i thought, what the hell, i may as well.

I'm not saying that YOU'RE saying that; I'm saying that's what most of the lemmings will be saying - that it's not a real problem, and the poll results are just skewed by cows.

I don't really understand the point of this thread, you cant get an accurate poll in SW. I will say this (and I have before) I have never met a person in RL who owns a 360 that hasn't had to send it in at least once (20+) including myself.

That mean it;s 100%? No

But personally I find the concern of RROD valid.

I got my first 360 at the UK launch. It RROD'd not long after the warrenty expired, so it sat in the corner of my room for a few months until they extended it. Once it got back it lasted less than 48 hours, and now I'm on my third one which has lasted a few years.

I bought a pro used, had it for six months or so, and sold it. Never malfunctioned during that time. A couple of disc read errors is all I can think of, but nothing permanent.

I think it's safe to say that apart from some older models still in circulation, the 360 is out of the woods, in terms of hardware failures.

I've had 2 consoles that needed to be repaired. Also had a 3rd one that showed signs of going bad, so I got rid of it before it crashed again. I've been through 3 Xbox 360s. They been pretty spread out though.

Well what happened was I had DRE and this was when they hadn't instated the 3 year warranty. So I called and they wanted $200 to fix it I said no way as I was short on cash at the time, opened the 360 and saw that my DRE is that it wouldn't spin the games. So I cut a hole open spinned the games to start them and got another 7 or 8 months out of the system before it started eating games.

i thought the risk of dust was enough. Plus I new I was gonna get a new one regardless so. I Just said might as well squeeze as much out of it as I could have.

Ohhh and without the front panel it was lough. Really really loud

Me and my brother both got E74. My friend had RROD and his younger brother had it 3 times, Another 4 people got RROD a while back and yet another friend of mine got a malfunction just recently. Don't know whether it was E74 or RROD. They're just the people I know. My brother mentioned a few other people.

Had my first one, since 07 and it RRODed, the got my replacement and out of the box e64/65 error, now on my 3rd one. Sad thing is I play my PC most of the time. I just play 360 exclusives, and still. I love my 360, even though ATM it is collecting dust. Waiting for Alan Wake, and Reach, till then its Call of Pripyat and Mass Effect 2 for me.

They already do, or at least try to. It's become twice as infamous due to them here. Just loking at the poll, it's clear there should be more who have never owned a 360.
