Due to the fact that most peeps who posted here didnt read the message, i suggest you do-

first i hadnt touched my systems for a week, now, just today...i popped rock band 2 in my 360, and guess what? RED RING OF DEATH!!!! error code 0102, GPU overheated, so dont even talk bout fixing it...i will have to wait at least 2 weeks(so i will miss gears 2, thnx MS)

but the problem is-

i do have a PS3, but i only have MGS4 and GTA IV for it... yes i know i do need more games for it, but games cost 60 bucks, and i dunno which is worth it for PS3, that i dont have for 360 already. LBP is coming out,

but i dunno if its worth my 60 bucks. so ima go to blockbuster and rent like 3 games, which should i rent

Open it up and take a dump in it before you send it back for repair for the 4th time. (I seriously would)

Why would you get that many 360's? If I had RROD, I would stop buying them by my second console. Wouldn't you at least stop by your 3rd 360?

Open it up and make your own repair. X-Clamp FTW! I suggest doing this along with some other things...

Get rid of it, and perhaps buy another model. I hear the Elite is more reliable. And in the meantime, get Uncharted for your PS3.

Ok...I have had a 360 for three years now. It has only "RROD" twice, just because it over heat and the plug was sticking out of the plug-in. I now have an Elite which has never RROD.

So what are you doing? Infact, how are you even on your fourth 360? Just get the warrenty and send it it for free.

With early adopters it is much more likely that they will get more RRODs than late adopters. The reason being that when you send your 360 away to be repaired they usually send you a refurbished one as a replacement which is much more likely to get RROD than a new one. He's just had a bad luck of the draw.

I have had 2 Xbox 360s. One since launch that lasted way up into 2008 and the only reason I don't have it is because I bought a elite. The elite is still running strong from some time in January-April (I cant remeber) till now. Each of these consoles were on for more then 10 hours at a time continuously and were left on over night all the time downloading. I honestly don't see the problem everybody has. Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe I'm taking care of them properly I don't know. I can tell you though there is a huge difference in noise and heat reduction from the pro to the elite and maybe that's why alot of you are still having problems.

It's free to get fixed.

It's also free to be slapped, and once I know that a person slaps me, I stop going with that person. :P

Well it's free. And you don't have to give them a receipt when you're under warranty. So if you did somehow lose your receipt, you wouldn't have to pay $160.55 to get it f****** fixed.

I really hate Sony right about now...*Raises hell*

Send your 360 out for repair and play your ps3 while you wait. :)CaptainChi3f

That's what I did, and I got mine back in 9 days, but you need to take it directly to a UPS store before noon to get the fastest turnaround time.

At least you were covered. My 360 was apparently not in the 3 year gap even though it was two and a bit years old when it broke.

I had to buy a new one. If this one breaks I am either going to sue them or pay some hackers to sort out their servers.

Due to the fact that most peeps who posted here didnt read the message, i suggest you do-

first i hadnt touched my systems for a week, now, just today...i popped rock band 2 in my 360, and guess what? RED RING OF DEATH!!!! error code 0102, GPU overheated, so dont even talk bout fixing it...i will have to wait at least 2 weeks(so i will miss gears 2, thnx MS)

but the problem is-

i do have a PS3, but i only have MGS4 and GTA IV for it... yes i know i do need more games for it, but games cost 60 bucks, and i dunno which is worth it for PS3, that i dont have for 360 already. LBP is coming out,

but i dunno if its worth my 60 bucks. so ima go to blockbuster and rent like 3 games, which should i rent

Syk0_k03r

Thats rough man, but I guess if you love your 360 and have a lot of games for it stick with it and send it to Microsoft again.

I'd advise to get MotorStorm 2, Ratchet and Clank, Drakes Uncharted if you want some good exclusive PS3 Games!

so the socalled "falcon Chip" (or sometype of chip) for the 360 didnt prevent your RROD? Wierd, because the lems told me that RROD is basically nonexistant..................LIERS lol j/k lol But seriously, i dont like liers.................
