Red Ring of Death Claims Another

My friend's 360 that he bought 1 year and 2 weeks ago bit the dust. Because the warrenty was up he has to shell out another $120+ for the fix and then another $60 for a 2 year warrenty on the fixed system.

On top of that, the guy he talked to on the phone was incredibally rude.

You get no pictures because his system is boxed up and in the mail. It's not hard to imagine the red ring of death on a 360 given how often it happens :roll:

The problem is, we see one of these threads every week. You can't prove their validity, and therefore, should have no place in SW. They just take up space.rhaigun

Very True. There is no way to prove or disprove it. I'm sure most of your 360's will play till the 720 is released and you'll be just fine... so as someone stated a couple posts up that they get afraid... I dont think you need to worry. As stated earlier in the thread, it's only about 5%... so if you're in the 95% then you're good.

The warranty was up after 1 to 2 weeks? Vyse_The_Daring

No no... he had owned the system for 1 year and 2 weeks. The warrenty was for one year.

It seems that consoles rushed to the market suffer a lot from hardware defects...

PS2 is a good example, and now it seems the 360 is following in its footsteps. I hope MS fix up all the issues with Zephyr.

You know... I think most systems since the turn of the century have been somewhat faulty. My Gamecube just broke :?

The crazy part... is that my Sega Genesis works just fine! and I've had that since I was 12! (I'm almost 26)

I hated it when people tell these stories, cause everytime I play my 360 i get afraid, but it's going on a year and still no problems, only froze once.Ace_WondersX

Oh yeah? My friend's PS3 broke and there wasn't even a one year warranty!

I don't really have a friend with a PS3, but no one else knows that.

Technically fraud:

Go to Best buy with your credit card. Purchase an XBox 360. Take the new 360 out of the box, put the broken 360 back in said box, and the next day return it with an effective excuse (not that "it's broken" or they'll look at the unit itself.) They'll refund the charge on your card.

when will the constant suicide of the 360 ever stop :cry:AB_Uppercut

I bought my xbox 360 6 months ago, and so far it hasnt showed any signs of anything bad about it, the only thing I hate is because I have a surround sound system around my room, when I turn the game up loud, it just the littlest movement on my xbox 360 and the game gets scratched, so I have to set my surround sound to a certain volume just so this stops happening, because it already scratched up my Gears of war and Rainbow Six Vegas games, so yeah, other den dat my xbox 360 has been just fine. I just hope it doesnt have the ring of death when a year passes, or that will be the last time I buy an xbox 360.

why spend 600 dollars on trash like PoS3 when you know it's built upon lies and decit and has less than mediocre games on a dvd player?
