360 dies after a week

[RE-UNdead]

gamestop and ebgames has been the worst suppliers to me

I'll never understand. Mine's been abused for a year, and it's still truckin. It's even fallen over with a disc playing, and there was no ring around the disc. The only problem I've ever had was the RF module came a little loose after I dropped it, and that was solved by banging on the box. Either a lot of people are really unlucky, or my Xbox just likes me.

i sent my xbox 360 to fricking germany to get rid of the red rings and it came back good to go. then i found out it had another problem

I've had 6 red rings in 5 months, the worst part was I had a warranty at gamestop which made you renew your warranty if you wanted the new system to be covered(40 bucks each time), so after 2 systems we wound up getting another 360 at bestbuy and ebaying the other. I had started a thread on asking about serious console failures and there was quite a few people with bricked 360's

You can do whatever you want with your 360, I have the utmost respect with whatever you do with your console, but seriously? 6 rings in 5 months?

Which was?.....

It was an Xbox 360.

Oh snap

I've been through 6 xbox's, most 3 red rings and the odd 1 red ring, all pre-owned systems, managed to get a newer replacement (HDMI port, plastic power connector), being running fine for a few months now

EDIT: FF13 will be out for both systems at the same time btw

I know, I'm just referring to the people who bought a PS3 before the multi-platform announcement came across. My roommate last year is definitely one of those cases, and another friend ALMOST did it a month ago, and then I mentioned it was multi-plat, so now he's not sure which console to get.

Had mine for over a year coming up two and have had no issues at all and use it a stupidly large amount, I do have a friend however that has had 5 RROD in the last 4 months I can only assume he's trying to use it as a toaster or something.

Sadly I treat my systems very well(dust them, they're not abused), and I didn't buy another, I had a warranty. If I had to buy another one, I would have put my genesis in it's place.

 

[SP MeaslyBinkie]

I`ve had two Xboxs break but both for different reasons,I had the first 360 for 17 months and when I bought Halo 3 it came up with a Disk Read Error so I bought a new core system,The second one lasted for 8 months but the power brick would not go on so I had to get a new system but I still had the 1 year warrenty so all was fine.

 

[Sporky111]

A friend of mine has a big family, so they got 2 360s (one upstairs, one down for XBL). Both of them got RRoD and needed to be replaced. I just had to laugh, it was so bad.

 

[Jeronus]

I just sent mine in a few days ago and after reading your post I am definitely extending my warranty. I am supposed to get it back in less than a week so I am going to cross fingers and hope for the best.

I am so lucky that my Elite never fucked me over. Now let me go knock on every square inch of wood I can find.

Good, cause I got a refund and put it towards an Elite, because apparently the first generation of those are just now starting to get the RRoD, so I have a good 2-3 years in this baby.

 

[BubbleGumSnareDrum]

I've had an Elite for over a year now with no RRoD.

 

[EXPLICITasian]

I had an elite, got the same e74 error... for whatever reason my brother put in blankets, when it became apparent that wouldn't work, we had to get a new one (no warrarty, and my brother's leaving for the marines soon, so he didn't feel like waiting), we just got a blank one and put our hard drive in it, no errors but that damn thing keeps freezing when i try playing madden, im 44-14 and 8 of my damn losses were because of damn disconnects or xbox freezing... damn xbox
