Death Of Your Xbox!! Share Your Tales

[ThePocketWeasel]

I ignored my xbox for about 3 weeks when i'd got loads of work to do.
I broke up for christmas, having done all my work and had nothing to do. I turned my xbox on and after 30 minutes it red ringed on me So annoyed.

Luckily it was a week before the guarantee ran out so GameStation gave me a new one

My 360 red ringed right before Fable 2 and Fallout 3 came out. Needless to say I cried a little. :'''( But I got a new one and now I'm happy

Picked up my copy of GTA4, drove home, sat down to pop it in, and....red lights up the wazoo.

My mate came round for the weekend he was so psyched that I got GTA4 that he would go off the fucking thing for more than 12hours straight even leaving on while we went to get lunch then the next day after he went home I turned it on and it red ringed. He still denys that it was his fault even though anyone with reason can see who it really was.

Can you remember that day where you were so pumped to get up to a little bit of gaming after a long day at work or school???
i know i was on that faithful day 24/6/08 thats when i had to send my xbox away to microsoft where they fixed my little baby and sent it back to me, but for those 2 weeks i was starting to think that i was going insane, thought suicide was a viable option....thankfully i held out using a friends xbox whenever i could.

I would like to know your story?

My story is actually kind of lucky. Mine broke down just last week. I was in the mood to play some GRID when I got the red ring 'o death (Fortunately it was the one which Microsoft extended the warranty on). I was at college at the time so I didn't exactly have my receipt nor did I knew where it was at home. So I called the place where I bought it (with cash mind you) and they said they couldn't get me a copy so I called Microsoft and it turns out that they knew when it was sold so I'm not paying a cent for the repair! So its in the shop right as we speak.

My Xbox doesn't exist as I don't have one.


BUT, my friend is pressuring me to post about his Xbox dying on him. He got the E74 problem, which is the RROD in disguise and not covered by warranty.

I want the Fifth one, as I like 5.

My xbox died, I shipped it in. Got it back. It died. I shipped it in.
Repeat this process infinitely.

oh no please don't say that I'm still thinking about buying one ;-)

Buying one now will be fine as the are all installed with the quiet n=benq drives and the extra heatsink at the front of the board.

"Suicide was a viable option." Hyperbole or not, that's... just sad.

I see that modern day humor is evident in your little brain, hyperbole it was obviously to the fact no one would commit suicide over losing there 360

 

[AdjectiveAnimal]

Mine has never died over the last two years.

I was quite chuffed to have found out I had the Falcon chipset..then the DVD drive died.
should have saved up for a decent PC..

DAMMIT!!! WHAT THE HELL I DIED!!! YOU PEOPLE SUCK WZAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! INVITE ME!! INVITE ME!! JOIN MY GAME!! HELOO?!? HELIOOOOO!!! I'M NOT PLAYING IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MIC!!!' etc. I swear to God I want to stab that fat bastard through the neck with a steak knife.
