Microsoft: Worst of Red Ring problem dealt with, 360s now made of sunshine

Pretty darn sarcastic I know but take it for what it is. :P

Discuss should yo feel the need.

The Story.

With many consumers still terrified of seeing the inevitable Red Ring of Death flashing on their soon-to-be-bricked Xbox 360s, Microsoft is doing what it can to downplay the issue, claiming that after four years on the market, the worst of the problem is behind us. Hooray!

"We've improved that [repair] process," claims Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft's Head of the Official Department of Claiming Things. "It's very quick, and they may upgrade your system with the latest technology. So that works really well.

"...What we do in general, the way that it works, is that they will fix it with the latest [hardware] improvements that we've applied [to current Xbox 360s]. Obviously we're continuously improving the technology inside the box, not to get too technical. So they'll apply that when they make the increments to your system.

"What it comes down to is isolating and figuring out the issue, fixing the issue, and the more that we can fix the issue, and know it's fixed, then we're good going forward. We've put the worst behind us on this, but we know there are a few lagging systems, and so we want to take those and make it right."

It only took four years. Praise be to Microsoft.

It only took four years. Praise be to Microsoft.

They mean three years right? It won't be a full four until November 22nd. :|

Whooooooo Yeah!

Is it safe to get a 360 now? I don't want to worry about a red ring when i buy one.lusitanogamer

I wonder if I could get $200 for a 20 GB 360 though... wonder what the trade in value at Gamestop is.carljohnson3456

EDIT: By the way, when I say 20 GB 360... it's really a core model with a 20 GB HDD, lol. So I'll probably get even less...

thats what the lemmings on system wars allways told me anyway. so isnt this old news?BTBAM127

i know it must feel hard selling a potentially RROD console......but take pleasure in that your spreading the install base.

good news for people. i still am a bit nervous of my 360. i just got repaired couple of weeks ago. i kind of want a ps3 just because of what i heard of not dieing or anything like that.iam2green

[QUOTE="carljohnson3456"][QUOTE="heretrix"]You aren't going to get anywhere near that for a 20 gig. You'd be lucky to get 100 bucks. You'd do better selling it on Ebay or to someone you know.

Heretrix, it's a whopping $74 for a Core 360, and $15 for a 20 GB HDD. Yup, not happening. :cry:carljohnson3456

:cry: I feel for you man. Hey man, 74 bucks off brings the total down to 120 for a new core. Throw in some games and you might be ok.

If Sony can capitalize on ANYTHING after the release of Killzone 2, it is this. Sony makes a relyable console, they could use that in their marketing.Wasdie
