Honestly, MS is just pissing me off more and more...

My 360 got the red ring of death the 2nd time (as of today, this is my 7th month of owning the 360). I just called MS up and now I have to send it in AGAIN. This is really pissing me off. After the first time, MS said it'll be unlikely for my 360 to break again... they were wrong :(

My PS3 is sitting right next to the 360. They're both sitting in the same condition, and I never had a problem on my PS3.

I used to love the 360, and I used to regret buying my PS3 because I barely played on it. My views on these consoles have switched. I regret buying the 360. Its not reliable at all. It has so much breathing room and it still breaks...MS made this thing really weak.

Good thing I got COD4 for my PS3, or else I'd go through a tantrum right about now:x

For the 360 owners, how many times did you get the red ring of death?

For a sec, I tought this was when MS annoucned that there was no significant changes to orginial Xbox downloads. :P

Anyway, sad to hear about your 360. Mine is still running and fine. :)

its strange how people constantly whine about WWAAAHHH THIS IS MY 19TH CONSOLE.....when i am on a launch....and it works flawlessly....luck of the draw perhaps?HungryLikeAMug

What's strange about it, yours works, theirs don't. Honestly, I don't have a reason to own a 360 yet, but if I did get one, I would just add a watercooling system to it. We are pretty confident it is the GPU causeing the problems, so it is to easy to keep it cool, or add a bigger fan, which will actually reduce noise as well.

In your personal reivew you rated Heavenly Sword 10, as the best game you've ever played.

You are obviously a huge Cow trying another one of those RROD Fake Threads.

Sorry Cows you're caught again, now go back to playing your FLOPS

the only time I ever got it was because the plug in the back was lose lol

But I have had mine since launch with no problems...besides the fact that it runs like an 18 wheelerwhen it first loads up call of duty 4 (stupid fan gets loud when it first loads)

This is why I am not getting a 360. Oh I would like to have one, but I am not willing to risk it. This is the only thing keeping me from getting one. I usually get two consoles a gen, but I think I may be stuck just getting a PS3.l-_-l

that seems a bit extreme, its not like you have to buy a new 360, it takes about two weeks for them to send you box, then you send them the 360 and they send it back to you. in those two weeks you could probably play your ps3 and then get back to playing Mass Effect when your 360 gets back.

and if it happens again your still covered for three years for this to be the ONLY reason as you say for you not getting a 360 just seems kinda strange to me at least.

Not everyone likes having their console die on them, warranty or not.

Once it dies, you have to:

Call 1-800-4MY-XBOX

Wait for them to send a box to ship it in, and actually have it work around your schedule so they show up when you are home.

Send it in.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Some people end up waiting ridiculously long and then when they call to check on it, it can be all sorts of nightmare.

I had a person tell me of her first-hand experience with Microsoft's CS over the RROD thing. She said she was on the phone a total of 5 hours, she was holding for 2 of those hours, she was transferred 11 times, and each time they asked her the exact same set of questions as the previous person she spoke to, she was hung up on 4 times by tier 2 CSRs. When they finally acknowledged her at all, they said she had never even sent the system in.

This girl was buying another 360 for her boyfriend so they could sell the refurbished original when it came back. She had no interest in gaming and no reason to hate MS, but she was dealing with that crap for her BF. She was livid just recalling it.

On top of that, I don't want to worry about my console dying when I reach a pivotal point in Mass Effect. I've had my HDTV die on me 20 minutes after I first started playing Warhawk, and it was horrible. I only had to wait until the next morning to go exchange it for a new unit, but knowing that that new game I just busted into would have to wait until the next day, sucked.

Then there is the fact that once the 3 year warranty period is up, you are hooped, and you'll be paying like $100 to send it in and have it fixed when it dies. For launch owners, the most diehard fans, their warranty is up a year from now. Don't you think the 360 will still be going strong by then?

I would take the extra time to buy a cooling unit if it meant I could avoid having something break. I really, really hate having electronics crap out on me. Like, really, seriously, extremely hate it. I'm sure I'm not alone.

At least dust doesn't void the 360's warranty...

.

How this for a sales pitch?

Come get it while it is really HOT. 360 for sale here... It has crapped out on my 5x but each time MS fixed it. Don't worry, it is cover by 3 yr extended RROD warranty. You gonna love MS. Accessories are extra..... Get it while it is still HOT.

At least dust doesn't void the 360's warranty...

JimJackJose

Your precious warranty only covers the RROD. Anything else, you're ****ed. Have fun sending it back and being charged for it.

Dust voids the warranty? How bout clean it out with a cO2 can before you bring it in? Did that cross your mind at all?

once and it took like 8 business days for the whole process, no complaints here.dipper145

I'm with this guy.

Why buy COD4 for your PS3? It looks and moves slightly better on 360 and has XLive play?

Sorry but soo many fakeboys out there that seem to enjoy creating these threads especially in System Wars. How ironic??? Surely theirs a 360 break down thread somewhere??

But yeah mines broke down once. MS really messed up with the early hardware failure rates. Quite shocking but they have tried to act well at times offering free stuff. Thats the main reason I dont believe you most who have had theirs break down that many times have gotten free games, free onth live and brand new 360's not refurbished. My mate got a free game after his fourth. Strange...

mightyboosh13

But it isn't just early 360's, even the few systems out with the falcon chip have RROD. It is the GPU most likely. Like I said, when I get one, I am putting a water cooling system on it.

Quick question!

Can the RROD be prevented if you buy one of those special exernal fans that latch on to the 360?

Is the RROD ONLY caused by overheating?

Please answer if you know the answer.
