I recently recieved the RroD on my 360 I thought hey this isn't a problem I'll just check the cord connections and it will be fine. the cords were fine. I then proceeded with the towel method and that worked two days. I thought well I'll just contact Microsoft and get it repaired, a little wait but no problem. But.......my warranty expired. I have a first generation system and the extent of my warranty is gone. So now I have a system that I must use the towel method to get to work. I don't have the money either to get a new one.
Even if you bought a launch 360, I believe those were manufactured in Aug or Sept of '05. Which means your 3 year warranty would be up Aug or Sept of '08. I'd call MS just to make sure.
your 360 should still be insured until November 2008 buddy. it was 3 red rings right? if it was then i'd give them another call and if they still refuse ask for their supervisor.
The same thing happened to me, the 3 year warranty is only for the red rings of death, if you didnt have those they won't fix it unless its under one year old.
If you had the 3 rings of death, than whoever you talked to is a moron.
If you don't have the rings just lie and say you do, thats what I did. And they fixed it. A xbox should not break right after the one year mark its ****ed up.
This is why I won't buy a 360, no matter how many good games they come out for it. If the hardware doesn't work, then its not worth shelling out the money. A three year warranty on RRoD isn't going to help with all the other problems plaguing this system. Its too bad with Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, and a lot of other good games coming out for this system. I'd love to get one, but not until they work out this stuff.
Something doesn't feal right in the story.Every-time someone is talking about a defective 360 its always someone new,What a coincidence that every person talking about it seems to be new to Gamespot.
Well um as much as you like to think I am new to gamespot, I am not. I have been on gamespot since the playstation 1 came out. I just never made an account, parents wouldn't let me or something like that. But if you meant new to forums, then yes I am
