Whooooooo Yeah!

Lol what show is that pic from? And why is the girl wearing her underwear like super man LOL

Sony and Nintendo were smart enough to thoruoghly test their consoles and make them work right before they released them out to the public. MS doesn't care if it releases poor products as they know there's enough people to put up with that sort of hooey. I wasn't one of them I got rid of mine after 2 failures. They don't deserve my business!patriots7672

Yeah and Sony did a fine job of that with the PS1 and 2 right?

Nintendo is the only console manufacturer with a long history of quality worksmanship. It took Sony two tries to finally get it right.

It's good that X360 RROD problem is possibly fixed with the Jasper chip. However, even lemmings can't deny that the damage has been done, big time. Microsoft should have done this to begin with on launch. Now, when developers are having financial troubles, and creating HD gaming puts companies at a loss, I think the significance of Jasper chip will not neither decrease nor increase in sales. Hopefully, for those old X360 that are broken, they are LIABLE to change them into Jasper chips. Zaistev_basic

My use of the word "long" means pretty much everything from the SNES on.

ugh, why do people always throw in the ps2 argument? that's last-gen. we're talking about the current gen. it's like saying, 'hey, your atari 2600 broke, right?' come on. the ps3 and the wii are reliable pieces of hardware compared to the 360. period. why do people always have to bring up last-gen consoles which have nothing to do with the topic? so please let go of the last-gen arguments. i know you can't say anything bad about the ps3 or the wii's hardware, but saying 'oh ps2 was..ps1 was..gamecube was...' etc is just stupid. we want 'IS' not 'WAS'. why? because those ''WAS' had already been fixed and are now reliable consoles.roddollente

worse? so what if a game installs on my HDD? if you're talking about the ps3, well it has alot of space. i mean, with a 5gb install (the highest that i've encountered) only takes up a fraction of your hard drive.lol. too bad you dont have a ps3. because ps3 owners don't whine about installs whatsoever. if it's necessary then why not? that's why your consoles comes with a 40 gb or more. most game only take up 2-3GB. some even less. you can even upgrade it without voiding the warranty. ugh.there are alot of options for us ps3 owners. dont think the wii has installation. too bad for 20gb 360 owners. it's not in any way worse at all. it's not even a problem. lol.

I feel for the people who had to suffer the RROD before Microsoft FINALLY found a solution. You guys deserved better :(masterflame10

[QUOTE="lusitanogamer"]Is it safe to get a 360 now? I don't want to worry about a red ring when i buy one.carljohnson3456

Since this is Gamestop we're talking about, you'd be looking at anywhere between $75 - $100 my friend.:?

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

Funny -- I'm apart of that worst of the worst; the launch Xbox 360s and yet even still, after my warranty has come and gone, my console stills runs PERFECT.Stevo_the_gamer

[QUOTE="Zaistev_basic"] Still that does not excuse Microsoft. You cannot say that because one company does less evil does not mean what they did is not evil. You can point out to the PS2, which is also legitimate. Nevertheless, damage has been done. You can blame the media for it, but you cannot put Microsoft out for the blame. Is like Republicans saying that the media is the reason why they lost the election.Stevo_the_gamer

Call me insane, but I think that Microsoft's problem has to do with the shape of the console.

Yes, that means I am suggesting that the RROD comes from the concave shape of the console.

Can we think of any other concave-ish shape console? No. Can we think of any console that had a similar problem? No.

So yeah, just a crazy theory, but maybe if MS tried changing the shape of the console, the problem would go away?

Dear Microsoft,

I don't believe you. There were too many lies about this issue... I would be an idiot to suddenly trust this news that has been repeated every 6 months.

Good luck with he Next Gen.

How would you know if you got the jasper mine was manufactyred in aug 07 and it died on me saturday, I hope they do put the jasper in it.

Did they just say that if you get your 360 to RROD, they will fix it, which will insure that it won't break again LOL. So I need to RROD my 360 to finally make it RROD prrof zzzz.

finally........

now if cows want to use the rrod argument, they MUST refer to pre-jasper models.

Keep-the-Faith

Finally?

This isn't taken as fact by anyone here, this is just an article written essentially as PR for M$. Time will tell us what we need to know, not M$'s PR.
