Forums - Microsoft Discussion - I'm thinking of giving up on 360 entirely

mrstickball on 27 May 2009

I don't get it.

You bought a USED Xbox 360 that was very old and certainly ran the risk of being a major issue. Now your complaining it red ringed?

I'm suprised such a fan of the 360 wouldn't understand that. I'm sorry to hear about your 360's demise, but the fact is, we all know that older 360s aren't that reliable. With a MFG date of 2006, you know, as well as I do, that it's a very old system, and can RROD on you.

My advice? Buy an arcade. Jaspers are very reliable (and you should know this).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

i got it cus i traded two games for it, which is cheaper than an arcade

its just issues that shouldnt be issues

i bought 360 the day it came out for 400, then i pay 200 now on live probobly, trade games for a new one, and now i gotta drop another 2 bills on another one plus 60 for another year of live . . .

so for 4 years of 360 ive paid 900 or so not including games . . .

(the first one red ringed, and i traded it for a wii to an idiot, so if youre wondering why i didnt send it in, it was also before they extended the warrenty, so it was warrenty free when i got the wii for it)

so yeh i could grab an arcade, but a part of me kind of wants to just give up on it, since im conveniently at the end of my live subscription as well.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

If you're on your 7th xbox, you're doing something wrong.

Just go out to Xbox.Com and go to the support site and try to setup repair for RRoD you will know instantly if it is covered.  I never do understand why people call for support when you can do it easier online.  Also the launch 360 I got RRoD after 3 years and I still had no problem getting it covered.  I sent it in this past March.  I got the console on launch day November 22, 2005. So MS is rather loose on the 3 year warranty.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Either you're lying, or something is up here.

You "traded" a red ringed xbox to someone for a Wii, and they never said anything?  Uh, yeah.  Sure.  OK!

Make sure your hard drive is plugged in correctly and the video cable is in all the way.  If one is loose, it could be doing this.
