360 Breaks Easily?

Is it true the 360 breaks easily?

What is this about a red light of death?

Does this still happen?

yes they do seem to break easy even though mine never has. There sposed to overheat easily which causes the red light of doom and then your 360 is broken. rassclart

What the hell is up with that?

Are they going to fix it?

i read a lot about 360's breaking and in i know about 10-20 people that have them and not one has broken down. if you want a reliable console SNES all the way never needed a fan for that baby :DSuP3R_TooT

They do break more frequently than the other consoles but if you take care of it you should be fine.

Mine has never had any problems.  They don't break easily.

That was just the launch consoles.

I believe the new ones have an improved fan. Had my 360 for 7 months now, no problems at all. Was playing Guitar Hero 2 for 32 hours straight and no problems occured. (No I didn't play for 32 hours straight.)

if your that paranoid, theres intercoolers you can get that will keep the system even cooler. The xbox's are known to run hot at times, but even if you get the 3/4 ring flashing light, there are methods out there that you can try if your warranty is up. Just researching Xbox Repairs on google, or try youtube, and theres videos on how to do it.

At first i thought the idea of heatgunning your system to get the solder back in wa insane, but i talked to the guys in my electrical dept, and they said that it would work, as long as you dont over heat any of the other components, but it would work. They just told me not to try it, and to bring it to them if it should happen, and they would do it for me.

YAY!

New pieces of hardware always seem to have problems. I don't know the actually frequency of the breakdowns but I hear about the rings of death way more frequently than I would like to. Just make sure you keep your console well ventilated.gatsbythepig
