I had the red ring of death too. I sent it to Microsoft and they fixed it good as new!

The 360 still has that problem? How shameful.

Yeah... they "fixed" mine too.

It works and all, but now it's a total bitch trying to get the video plug back in the system.  I have to force it.

WTF did they do to it? :(

I'm scared to move the system lest one day I just can't get it back in.

So I reiterate:  FUCK M$

Funny how I say it every day I'm at work to people bitching about the RROD and it still doesn't happen when they say that exact same thing, too.

It's only a matter of time, the dice have rolled lucky for you so far. ;)

I have a friend who comes in to my work, he's already had 3 360's get the RROD on him, something that should've long ago been fixed.

I've had two different models so far (a used core and a new Elite) and I haven't had it yet. It'll only be a matter of time, though. And I'm sure playing Dead Space for 5 or 6 hours at a time isn't helping, either.  :-[

I know a person that's had 7 (Yes, 7) RROD issues. It really is unacceptable.

Has anyone gotten a RROD with the Jasper chip?  I just picked up my first 360 this week and it has a Jasper...*crosses fingers*

My brother has had this problem. the system is given an operational lifespan of around two and a half years. CLUE IN MICROSOFT! THIS IS A CONSOLE NOT A COMPUTER!! CONSOLES ARE SUPOSED TO LAST FOR EVER!!!(Ahem...sorry.)  :-X
Anyhoo he had managed to milk another one and a half years out of his dying system before it finally gave out. That's commitment for ya.

Honestly if it's out of warranty and you know enough about computer hardware, all that's wrong when the RROD happens is the thermal paste on the processor's heatsync is burnt up. You can grab a tube of the stuff at any computer tech store for less than $10, smear it on, and boom, working 360 system.

I don't recommend it if your knowledge of computer tech is amateur at best, though.

Didn't you guys know about the RRoD before you bought an Xbox? If so, why did you still get one?

Are you serious? There's no excuse for things like hardware failures on what seems to be 75% of all their consoles. Oh, and this "Jasper" chip stuff makes no difference at all. It's just something that M$ spewed out of their disgusting holes in order to sell more.

Because the games are good?

Honestly, I bought my 360 before I bought my PS3 and between the two, I must admit I only buy PS3 exclusives and fighters for that system. Everything else I tend to get on 360 just because I owned it first. It's not even a matter of achievements or anything, I just love my 360. I love all my systems, in fact. I can't pick which one I prefer over another.

Also Rugal, it's about 33%, not 75% =P I know it may seem like that, but then again, it seems the only news you hear about the 360s are the failures, just like the news you hear about anything else, like plane crashes or whatnot.

Haha, what PS3 exclusives :D (meaning there's hardly any).

But yeah, despite that I hate M$ for their faulty hardware, 360 by far has the best library out of the current gen systems.

Post by: Rugal on May 14, 2009, 04:13:42 PM
33% is still an unacceptable number of console failures. I also have yet to see an exculsive title on the 360 that interests me. The only one that I was going to consider was Ninja Gaiden II, and now since a better version of it is coming out for PS3, what's the point?

PS3/Xbox have all the same games, save for a few exclusives which doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Fallout 3 gets DLC on 360 :)

Post by: Rugal on May 14, 2009, 10:31:27 PM
I have that game on my PC.

I didn't really like it much, unfortunately. I thought it was going to be a lot more fun.

Yeah, PS3 and Xbox do get all of the same multi-plat games, but the quality of first and second party titles on PS3 > Xbox.
