Is that a Jasper?

I purposely bought a Jasper thinking it wouldn't die but it did. I've got a backup Falcon running just fine though. Still waiting for my Jasper from Microsoft.

So in other words they'd rather re-purchase a 360 than buy a PS3. Fanboys are getting worse

I call fake. No 360 has ever melted a disc. You're either a liar or you don't have a 360.

Wouldent be surprised if that would actually be true. Heck back when the PS2 had the DRE i had one crap out on me and i rebought one but only one. RROD seems to be worse than ps2s DRE so why would it B different this time?

I've never heard of a 360 melting a disc, I mean...you do understand the amount of heat necessary to melt a DVD-9 don't you? It's about 350 degrees...usually more. If your xbox 360 was hitting an internal temperature of 350 or more degrees, it'd bake itself completely, and likely set itself on fire (like the original xbox).

On top of that, your own sig has you CURRENTLY playing GTA IV, if the disc was melted, and your xbox 360 broken, how are you currently doing races in Alderney for the past 4 minutes?

Yeah! That's a little extreme, good point. 350 degrees? sheesh. ONLY the Orginal Xbox could set itself on fire.

M$ gets better every generation.
Leave it to M$ to improve so radically, I think that calls for a thread.

"M$ consoles have improved much more in one generation than any other console in history, they've contained the explosions to just RRODs."

I think M$ should buy a timed exclusive with Smokey the Bear if this thread has any merit. :)

Here's new news:

http://profile.mygamercard.net/nintendods521

Your gamercard shows you consistantly playing games, since July, where is the break for all 9 repairs you've had? (Which average a month). There is no break in game history.

Hmm, might be why he used the wording "i think". You do not need proof to speculate, but if you want to be taken seriously...well then, of course you do. Back on topic -- This is the main reason that I still have not bought a 360. I will not invest in something so poorly made, regardless of the 3 year warranty. It really makes me mad that a US company could make such garbage hardware, yet people just eat it right up (I know its not manufactured in the US).

Exact same reason i dont have a 360. I've been back and forth about gettin a 360 alot lately because of the RROD. I only know 1 person with a 360 that hasnt had it cop out on them, and its a launch system. Craziness! Everyone else i know that has a 360 is one their 2nd or 3rd one and i cant in good faith pay hundreds of dollars for something that might not last even a year.

I'm sorry, "seems"? PS2 had a 2% maulfunctions all the way for the past 10 years. That's far from being close 360-wise.

Hey, TC...here is an idea...rip the game to the hard drive and then it won't "melt"

Also...

In its original state, the recording layer of a DVD+RW disc is polycrystalline. During writing, a focused laser beam selectively heats areas of the phase-change material above the melting temperature (500-700°C), so all the atoms in this area can move rapidly in the liquid state.Then,if cooled sufficiently quickly, the random liquid state is 'frozen-in' and the so-called amorphous state is obtained (see Fig. 1). If the phase-change layer is heated below the melting temperature but above the crystallization temperature (200°C) for a sufficient time (at least longer than the minimum crystallization time), the atoms revert back to an ordered state, i.e. the crystalline state.

Taken from this site: http://www.dvdplusrw.org/resources/docs/howitworks.pdf

BTW...500-700 C is 932-1292 F...

BTW...An egg needs a temperature of 158°F to become firm. In order to cook, proteins in the egg must denature (modify), then coagulate, and that won't happen until the temperature rises enough to start and maintain the process.

Please just stick to saying the 360 RRodded or scratched up your disk next time.

People like this should be instantly banned. The whole purpose of this post is to troll and it has been proven that nothing the TC said is true. So, we cannot believe that he is over 13 making his account illegitimate and making him banned.
