I think it's somewhat conspicuous that so many individuals are claiming multiple 360 failures.

I have a launch 360 (which I can prove if need be). It performed a RROD act one time within the first two weeks of purchase. I unplugged the machine and then replugged it and it was fine. Since the software updates, I have not experienced any RROD occurrences...

Either I'm mighty lucky, some folks are mighty cursed or it's some kind of paid marketing frontier against the 360...

I don't know..just seems the RROD thing is becoming a little repetitive and I do not understand how some individuals have multiple instances of RROD with new equipment when I have one of the first models and it works perfectly fine (with the exception of the one aforementioned instance).

 

 o its never happened to you so you dont understand when it happenes to someone esle?

Little closed minded no?

and yes M$ paid me to say this thats why i chose one of the biggest sites ever in VG chartz........ it has nuthin to do with the fact that ive been on this site for years now..........

 

Cute.

 

Funny, all of my other friends who I actually have real life interactions with who own a 360 do not experience these multiple failures.

I mean, considering how some tactlessly like to imply that the RROD is such an overwhelming phenomenon...I just figured I would witness more real life examples. That is all.

 

I also think the RROD scenario may have been exagerrated a little bit. As soon as some individuals witnessed the RROD maybe they immediately assumed the hardware was dead? I am not justifying the RROD...Microsoft should have exercised better quality control measures and judgement.

But the 360 catches a lot of flack for the same problems past consoles also experienced, but it's exageratted by a million it seems.

My launch hardware performed a RROD yet I presently still use that very same equipment to play Fable 2...used that same equipment to play Mass EFfect and Oblivion. I did not just assume the hardware was dead and send it back.

 

It's just hard to swallow the supposed testimonies of users whose posting history imply that maybe they have somewhat of an agenda.

Not so cute....

I worked at eb games for 4 years.. ive sold thousands of xbox 360s.....and i have never returned so many defective systems on any other system. (real life interactions)

I did not just run to a store and buy a new system. you ASSumed I did. My system froze every 5 secs and i was pissed for about an hour before i went to GS to sell. i tried to play 15 diferent games and all my CDs are perfect no way was it my disks. i know more abbout this then you do and all of us are smart enough to know that after an hour of tested 20 diferent games in my system and they all freeze that your system is defective... and yes it does seem like you are defending the RROD.

No pass console defective rate was as high as 33% as far as i know. (im talking popular systems nintendo, sony, sega) i know ps2 was a lot but thats because they sold a shit lot of systems. i will say it was not 33%.

You dont have to swallow anything im not asking you to. But to think that even tho a system with one of the highest defective rates ever does not get defective because yours has only gotten 1 RROD( lol) is foolish and i think im posting to a child.
