RROD Not That Bad

[QUOTE="erglesmergle"]

Ive only had to get my 360 serviced four times since Ive owned it.

pretty much this.

rrod is a joke and an absolute insult to their customers

I have my Xbox for over two years now. Still no RROD. Am I the chosen one?Salt_The_Fries

Hardware problems like RROD shouldnt be around, don't make excuses.

Yes its very unfortunate that you have to pay $150 to fix your PS3 but the chances of it happening arent as big as the RROD. They are both free under warranty though. Still both the 360 and the PS3 have a hefty price to repair when you get a hardware failure out of warranty it's about 100 to 120 to repair the 360. Personally I'd just rather have no hardware failures at all.

Getting my xbox 360 fixed was a pain...customer service messed up my email so it took forever to finally get the information I needed to put on the box to ship it out.

From what I have heard the system has been streamlined since then,but either way hardware failures shouldn't be that routine. There really isn't any excuse for it and it definitely goes against the console's value in my eyes.

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"] The repair is free though, my friends PS3 BD drive went out and he had to shell out $150 to fix it. (I'm not even joking, his FB status a few days ago said it broke again, poor guy). The repair process is excellent too, when mine broke a few years ago, you just go to the Xbox website and register your console. Total process took 2 weeks. Sorry, but I rather have free repairs than having to shell out money. -RocBoys9489-

Yeah I want a slim too, it doesnt look as good but the matte finish is a plus for me, the phat is such a fingerprint/dust magnet.

It's bad enough. Don't make any excuses for it.

Its a problem that shouldnt exist, no way around it. And from stuff ive been hearing, MS could have prevented it and they knew full well about it before launch, but they decided to ship anyway to get ahead of the competition.

lol 2 weeks, i remember when my mobo broke i waited for 1 week since i wanted to buy the evga x58 micro instead another rampage 2 gene. That thing came way too late and i got an asus because i couldnt stand it anymore. It was just like hell, all what i could play on my other computer was C&C generals. What a nightmare.

No, it sucks. Especially now that my warranty is over and my 360 is doomed to die from RRoD sometime soon, and I'll have to shell out $300 to buy another crappily made piece of hardware.enterawesome

well i think the new model will end this
