Goodbye 360.....I've had enough

[QUOTE="8Tango"][QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"] Really, man. You're going to call me childish AFTER calling me out and accusing me of being a liar. Look in the mirror. How does it feel? I never post because I hardly have time too. But thanks anyway. I'll remember that your responses have as much use as a turd on a stick.DinkusMaximus

[QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"]Unbelievable.Jandurin

[QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"][QUOTE="8Tango"] How is accusing someone of being a liar childish? Your logic is waaaay off.8Tango

[QUOTE="8Tango"][QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"] Man, I honestly don't care to argue with you. You came in here to call me a liar and to try to discredit me. Just go away.DinkusMaximus

[QUOTE="8Tango"][QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"] DinkusMaximus Member since: Mar 8, 2009 Right. I made an account a half a year ago to post about this today. Get off my topic.DinkusMaximus

Well this is more Blog material and shouldn't really clog up systems wars.

[QUOTE="Shhadow_Viper"][QUOTE="Jandurin"]You know, within the 3 year warranty, MS fixes RRoDs for free...DinkusMaximus

Alright...THREE RROD's now. I never post (just read) but now I've had it. I've supported MS for a long time now and the support has just ended. I'm not even trying anymore. I'm not shipping it off to get it fixed...AGAIN. I'm sick a tired of this thing bricking on me. Three times in two years is not good. I have a decent savings account. I'm buying a PS3 on Friday. Trading in my 15 games will help reduce the cost. Enough is enough. Every single time I send this thing back, I'm sending the message to MS that it's OK for the 360 to fail. I understand the Jasper units SUPPOSEDLY do not fail. I don't care. I'm not giving MS another dime. They can keep their shoddy hardware. Cheap parts. Horrible design. Expensive add-ons and paying for online is not worth the trouble. I'm done with MS. /rantDinkusMaximus

Yeah RROD really does suck. Mines started to make weird noises last night while playing ODST, and I literally just got my Xbox back like two weeks ago from it's last rrod. Actually it was e74, but they do the same thing:bricking.

What I don't understand is why everyone wants to bust his chops you all assume he is making it up why is not like RROD isn't well documented. None of you if he is lying or not so think how you all would feel if you had the problem and everyone call you a liar.

[QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"][QUOTE="Shhadow_Viper"]Hey now, lets not be rational... Why utilize the warranty when you can just take a loss? :PShhadow_Viper

Hey TC why is your first posts about a failed XBOX 360? I mean why would you make an account to just talk about RROD?

DinkusMaximus

I was just going to bring this up. And whats even funnier about it is that the MCD see no problem with it but when a level 1 first post is negative about the PS3 the entire thread has posts pointing it out that it is a fake account. Sony Wars.

Your assumption is quite absurd actually. But back this being a fake account, you never once mentioned your gamertag or anything at all to prove that you had a 360 that broke. Not one thing.

I had mine RROD twice (I'm on my 3rd xbox) and each time i stuck it back to MS by buying an arcade, swapping the internalls, and then returning it with the RROD internals. Screw their warranty department and their referbs.

[QUOTE="8Tango"][QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"] Wow, glad to see I can share my frustration with fellow gamers. I honestly don't care if you believe me or not, little guy. I'm just blowing off steam. I have as much right as you. I've been a gamer a long time. I'm a little surprised at the immature responses. I thought school was in session.DinkusMaximus

Yeah, you got me. Do you people spend more time talking about the issues or accusing others of lying? Does it make you feel better or something? Wow.DinkusMaximus

[QUOTE="8Tango"][QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"] Be quiet. I obviously have. Get off my topic, kid.DinkusMaximus

[QUOTE="DinkusMaximus"][QUOTE="8Tango"] Reeeeaaaddd the posts you child... Just read them... Reeeead.8Tango

Yep, the 360 was a rush job. MS didn't even bother to perform any QA on the hardware. It's a shame when manufactures skip QA to rush to market because they "need the profit$!"

MS has a horrible track record of rushing its projects at the expense of quality (Windows 98, anyone?).

About a week ago I got E74 and Microsoft said it's out of warrenty and I need to pay $120 to fix it. Now I've had 4 xbox's since launch and everyone of them never lasted a full year. So I'm not paying $120 a year to get it fixed.

So I sold it to Gamestop for $45 with the controller and 20GB HDD (better than nothing). I got $102 for my broken Xbox and about 6 games, and I put it all on a new PS3 Slim.

Comes on here and rants with just 27 post. I smell a Sony fan boy. Oh I own the PSP and 360 and my 360 has been fine for almost a year. Dust is a consoles worse enemy.

The 360 was launched with a defective design. The proof is in the warranty extensions that MS offerred. No company would offer such warranty extensions unless the product in question is defective and the lawyers are telling them that they need to do something to avoid a class-action lawsuit.

I love how defensive Lemmings got in this thread. It's like they think that everyone who doesn't like a major hardware flaw like RROD in their favorite console, is automatically a Sony fanboy.

Windows 98 > Windows MEJandurin

'98 service pack 1 or 2? :D

Is it possible to have this thread moved to the right forum so people don't accuse me of lying?DinkusMaximus

OP : I understand your frustration, and I applaud your patience.

I hope you enjoy the PS3 a lot, and get back to having fun playing games.

Xbox lovers will die with their console which is fine, i just like to play games, i work a normal 35-40 hour job as staples night crew and the 3-4 hours i get a day before i go back to work if my GF is at work is i like to play games.

It's my hobby so when my system breaks many times i just get fed up so i went on to a system that has very few or no problems and still satisfy's my gaming wants, with the wi-fi and free online just made it easier for me.

I'm by no mean a sony fanboy but i will be accused as one because i gave up on my xbox, as mature and tame as my response is.

Xbox guys wonder why we say all their fans are immature 13 or 35 year olds, you can't talk sense into them. Some you can but at least on these forums it seems to not exsist.
