Probably left it on for too long, and being encased in plastic probably wasn't good for ventilation. Not a great advertisement though.

[QUOTE="Furi-Kun"]Even the Wii can overheat.stappy

And yet the PS3 cant(ofcourse until and unless its forcefully done).Thats called a design.

Oh right. The PS3 is better than a $5000 computer with a cooling system for $300, because even that has a chance of overheating.

Is that sarcasm?

Its not as if Microsoft personally designed that kiosk. In the end its just another RRoD thread we've all seen before...

Blue-Sky

That's how all Xbox 360 kiosks look, even in the US. My local Best Buy's Xbox 360 had the RRoD for a few weeks, and it was using the exact same kiosk design. Microsoft effed up, plain and simple. The RRoD is partially responsible for MS's lead starting to disappear.

that's quite funnyCyberfairy
So funny I think I'm going to tell every person who says the Xbox 360 is reliable about this. Doesn't this prove that they haven't improved their model?

BTW It's unlikely its a loose wire, because when it's a loose AV lead, it makes a full red ring.

[QUOTE="Kratos-Sackboy"]and people say that the falcon chip helps :lol:50u1r34v3r

Orrrrr this is not one of the newer 360s....

Who knows. Not me, and I'm pretty sure you don't know for sure either :P

The x360 was sold out in japan after vesperia came out, old models were flushed out cheaper.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, that's basically how the forums are run anyway. Furi-Kun

SecretPolice always posts interesting, quality threads. He is one of the ones that has good input around here, so dont clutter him up with fanboys that post garbage up all the time. Maybe thats not what you mean, but it sure does come across that way.

And he definitely is NOT a cow.

I think they're trying to advertise the RROD there in Japan. Seeing how popular the term is all over the world :P

I've never seen one. Oh, I've seen them with broken controllers and ejected discs, not the actual console broken.

At least the main color for the 360 is green. That means environment. and they're all about keeping the world safe over there, with theyre small efficient cars and stuff.

The same thing happened at my local target.

But, I know the manager personally, and hes a big playstation fanboy, so that may have been intentional.

anyone who says Jasper has fixed RROD is lying to themselves. It's false hope that's comes right out of Microsoft's marketing team to sell a few more consoles. The only one's hurt are the shoppers who believed this crap. Lemmins will say anything to get people to buy their console.

Everyone let's all greet this great Microsoft marketing Rep, hes doing a fine job. Your posts are all Anti PS3's. If you are nice you might get a PS3 for Xmas, then you can stop trolling.

Just wait until the RROD breaks out in Japan from those old units being sold.

I like how people search the internet, copy and paste, then bring it to system wars. This will never get old.Furi-Kun

Really nothing new. I've seen PS3's and Wii not working in Kiosks, so this isn't a surprise. That could have been a launch system for all we know. Who cares. The systems are selling better in Japan now and the holidays are approaching fast.
