Funny enough, the only consoles I've ever had break on me are a PS2 and a PS3.

I remember when my 360 got the red rings the day Halo 3 released. I was pretty damn angry at MS.

But in the end they fixed it for free and sent me a free game plus some MS points.

And would Nintendo do this? Nope, in fact, they would charge you. Sometimes I really wonder who the real "greedy" company is

Ya... my uncle bought his NES a couple years after it came out, then gave it to his children then they gave it to me. It lasted nearly 20 years. We smashed it down as kids, too.

Only console I've had break on me was the PS1, and that was because it was used and the old gray model. :?

yea, 360 sucks and Nintendo rulz... i thought the pic said it all. guess some people are just slower

My PS1 has been sat in the shed for over 5 years through all sorts of weather (I blame the English climate) And that still works. So I guess Sony rules then.

Well, if you have a 360 user banner in your sig, I wouldn't expect you to think that and say Nintendo rules. Dumb****

Didn't Nintendo products up until the GC have lifetime warranty? I know the N64 did, and that i had sent controller sin for analogue stick's for free. Even if Nintendo did charge, i don't see why they shouldn't. Its not like their hardware ever failed except once in a blue moon. If anyone has had a nintendo console break within a year of purchase (new) then speak up, but i think you will find the cases pretty far between. Especially for Nes, Snes and N64

My 360 works perfectly while my NES does not. Does that prove anything? No! It's anecdotal, just like this picture.

The funny thing is this could be fake. Just unplug one of the cords to your 360 and the red ring would show up when you turn it on lol. Anyways this thread is failure, My Snes and GC broke a long time go while I haven't had any problems with my 360, I guess Nintendo=Failure...right?

Microsoft sucks. They are officially in the red as far as the RRoD warranty goes. I read in GI that the amount allocated to the 360 has surpassed the $1 billion mark is rumored to be at 1.5 billion withno signs of slowing down. Plus a good friend of mine, Dropkick Robbi's Elite 360 went RRoD 2 days ago. I thought the Elites where better?I will say again, MICROSOFT SUCKS.

Only console I've had that didn't work was 2 preowned Xbox's, the disk drive in those things used to suck apparently, and I got 2 with dodgy lasers that were running out.

Yeah...MS is good for stuff like that. I have gotten a free wireless controller, Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, and a Live Vision Camera from them the last 3 times I sent mine in. If you're one of the unlucky ones that has to send your 360 in a lot, they will make your console a high priority. Last 3 times, I have gotten my console back in less than a week. Sure, it's a pain in the ass to have to send it in, but if you can't make it less than a week without your 360, it's time to rethink one's priorities.

Don't you have anything do to except troll? And M$ made money in the gaming department this year, 162 million. I think warranies are included in that. And TC, your just trolling at this point.

Meh, you got that out of photobucket anyway. My 360 is fine, never has RROD'd on me, only consoles that have died on me are the PS1 (but that was my fault) and the Xbox 1.
