xbox 360 hate = red ring of death.

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"]

[QUOTE="_CivilizationX_"]Well, the only thing stopping me from purchasing a 360 is it's hardware issues.TripleXAlexXx

I feel your pain part of what keeping me from getting one is the hardware issues also. But it more my wife will not let me buy one until the problem goes away. But she will allow me to get a PS3 so I am good.

If she was smart, lol, she'd let you get a 360 over a ps3 even if the hardware problem was WORSE than it is now. lol

It not that big of a deal there are a number of PS3 games I want coming out and most of the 360 games I want are on the PC or PS3. But I will get one if they ever fix the problem just because I rather play some games on the console over PC. I glad I waited because the PS3 keeps droping in price every 6 months it seems.

Since I started saving for the 360,people were annoying me with the red rings of death thing.

-My local game seller hates the 360 because it's broke and always warn me about the choice I made to get one.He got a PS3 and a Wii atr his house but not the 360.

-His college who was a 360 owner told me the same thing and tells me to get a PS3 instead(he sold his 360 and got the PS3)

So,all of you who are 360 owners,am I garanted to get the red rings of death??I want the 360 but still if Sony didn't had a high priced console.I would have probably got one.

red rings of death is serious. My of freinds bought one the day of launch and it just broke on him this last summer. Twice! My bestfreind doesn't even play his so i dont see how it can break on him.

Yeah... the ps3 has good games coming out.... I'm just irritated that I have had one for so long and there aren't that many great games YET....

Let me guess, he'd rather have a ps3, right?

Wow, the failure rate is not THAT bad in any way. That guy should never walk outside of his house, as he has the worst luck I've ever seen. A plane will probably crash ONTO him, or his furnace will probably blow up, or he'll get aids from thin air.

Hmm..... wonder if his name is Kenny McCormick.....

On Topic, the 360 is a bit of a buyer beware situation, it does have a good chance to die on you but if the falcon chips are proved to be effective then give it a few months and you'll have a bigger chance of getting a 360 with one in.

[QUOTE="Zhengi"]This is probably the best advice. If you really want a 360, then wait until MS sorts out its hardware problems. They're supposed to put in the new falcon chips and that should fix it. However, wait a little while other people buy it to see if there are any problems that come up. Once it's clear that the problem is fixed, then you can jump right in. Also, another benefit is there might be another price drop by the time you purchase yours. TripleXAlexXx

Well, the falcon chips are already in circulation.... I would think the problem would be fixed, but if it's not, then we probably wont see one until the end of the life-span... lol

BUT, the falcon chips, imo, will fix the 360. There will still be hardware failures and RRoD's, but EVERY console has defects, including the ps3 and Wii. But I think the common failure that most people experience will be fixed, which is mainly proven to be caused by heat.

In any case, to the TC: I would personally find out what model number the Falcon chips started appearing in, and buy one manufactered after that. The falcon chips should fix the problem. Even if they don't, which is a big IF, you'll still be happy with your 360. Sure, it's a huge pain to have a console fail, but at least you'll have a free 3 year warranty, and the 360 experience CANNOT be matched right now. It has the best and most games, best graphics (so far), fantastic controller, and the online experience is beat by nobody, as long as you're not too cheap a small fee for it.

For "any Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights" only. One or two red lights, disc scratching etc. = one year.

Just wanted to clarify.

[QUOTE="clone01"][QUOTE="mingo123"]

i never got red lights so idk

InsaneBasura

none of my friends have either...its PS3 fanboy propaganda. its the only thing that they can argue with.

Wow. Can't believe people like you still exist. Thought they all went away when Microsoft admitted there was a design flaw and issued a three year warranty which set them back a minimum of $1 billion.

But wait, your friends haven't had any problems! That changes everything! ...:roll:

i didn't say there weren't failures...quit putting words in my mouth. i merely stated that the RROD argument is the first weak thing that PS3 fanboys jump on. besides, even if the unit fails, microsoft will make good. i'd rather have a fixed console than a $600 paperweight that plays pretty movies.

its funny because he did want 1 and he called the local gamespot. Who are all lemmings and their like why would want trade in a 360 for ps3?

anyways he keeping it and he already sent it in MS. Also told me hes gonna get ps3 later. Mostly like the 40gig if it comes to US since hes a xbot.

Stop being a fanboy, it's already been proving that it doesn't. There was a picture of a Halo 3 Xbox 360 with RROD.

I can't beleive that this type of problem/failure is accepted and even defended by peope. It simply amazes me.knufsed

my 360 had a birthday party...1.6 years of service without the red ring of death...i should post a picture of it wearing a party hat

definately. If you boughta tv and got a 33% chance of it breaking down you would send it back to the shop with a refund wouldent you? I cant believe MS is getting away with it the console is a rip off if it can break so easily. I hate the fact MS has been so careless with this console. It is the most stupid thing they could have done and no matter what game they produce however good it is it cannot make up for this complete faliure to make a console that dosent destroy itself.

its better than....

ps3= no games, hard to develop for

crusher2002000

Warhawk, Resistance, Tekken 5 DR, VF 5, Ninja Gaiden, Heavenly Sword and many other games say otherwise. I love X-Box fanboys with their logic.At least having a console to play a few games is better than having a console that can't play anything.

I say we boycott 360's till its fixed!sexy_chimp

yeah, why should we suffer for what MS made a mistake on?

its totally absurb how the lems still think its okay.

to TC, the X360 problem goes beyond hardware wise. think about the cost of XBL, you should take that in effect. plus, you also need to purchase a stupid wi-fi adopter which costs a whopping $99. and you don't get a cool nice Blu-ray player.

so the choice should be obvious.

no what i meant is to make it comparable to the 40GB PS 3. i know you don't have to get it, but in order to make it to have the same feature as PS 3, it will cost you more.
