I just looked at Bioware's twitter and it says nothing about this. I guess this article claims the official stamp-o-fail?

again i want to see some real figures on failure rate. we all know consoles made in 05 and 06 will be real high. Show me some figures on consoles that were made in 08 or this year. I bet the rate is not that bad. And come on we all know other consoles had problems. Ms dropped the ball but that is the price you pay for trying to get your console out first and it doesnt seem to be effecting there sales that badly. Hate them or love them it doesnt matter. Microsoft is milking people any harder than sony or nintendo or EA or activison.

again they screwed up o well. I guess im just lucky I have had no problems with my current 360. The previous one I had i got at launch. About 4-5 months later i got rrod. Sent it in got it back and then about a month later it had a problem with the graphics and there was lines on the screen, I sent that one it and got it back and it was fine until i traded in (long story)...then i bought another 360 a few months later. But besides back in 06 I have had 0 360 problems since.

ya, RROD is caused by overheat. RROD is usually melted wires and thermal compound, both of which kill the cpu.

no. but people on system wars act like its news every day by creating new threads. or posting a failure rate that is based on a vary minuscule poll. this is nothing new everyone knows it. its not thread worthy anymore. We should just have a rrod, overheating, or e74 related 360 sticky at the top. Cause we dont need more threads daily on something that is old.

I don't beleive it's melted wires or compound considering their is a temporary fix you can do by overheating your 360 even more.

Questions i wanna know: was it in an enclosure? If so, how as the enclosure ventilated? is the code optimized, or does it have the processor running at 100% the majority of the time?

Playing my 360 on a hot day would probably over heat the damn thing.

Well then this is /thread if you ask me.

Who actually believes that it RRODs the box even though they were boasting how it runs on the Xbox? They wouldnt release the game if it **** a console.

There is no downgrading. ME2 didn't make it overheat. You won't believe me though since you just made this account and have made 360 hate threads before.
