RROD seemingly will never be over. I was just in GStop yesterday and a customer came up to me trying to see what could be done about his 360. I asked what was wrong with it and he told me those Red light reared their ugly head again. I began discussing with him how MS has the 3 yr warranty plan and that the early models were commonly guilty of this. He then told me that he bought his system LAST WEEK!

The system is just inflicted with an incurable disease that was brought on by MS trying to jump the Sony train by coming out a year earlier. Mass Effect is the only thing that even has me look in the 360's direction, but 200 bucks is a hard pill to swallow for one great game. I know I get on Xbots a lot about this but......hoping on a PS3 port of the game so I can rest in piece.

*looks at your name and sig* 'Nuff said.

Seriously, aren't these excuses getting a bit old? It's always:

"well my friend/roomate/sibling/mother's uncle got RROD last week from a brand new 360.."

Stop lieing to yourself. I haven't even heard of newer RROD problems on new models for the longest time now, the most recent 360 problem was a guy that dropped his 360 and jammed his disk tray.

 

I will let that slide becuase you seem new and obviously know nothing about me. But here is the thing.... I WORK AT GAMESTOP! So yea, i have a lot of those "Well i was at Gstop the other day..." stories to tell, becuase it is my job. You don't have to believe it if you want, the fact of the matter is I will not be buying one because the failure rate is simply much to high (more then double, maybe even triple, the PS2's failure rate). So much that GS had to stop insuring them with customers because it seems everyone was getting RROD.

 

You might be completely trustworthy but I have two general rules when talking about Gamestop:

  1. Never trust Gamestop employees
  2. Trust Gamestop managers even less.

I'm sorry, but Gamestop just seems to attract the dumbest people imaginable.  I'm not saying that's you (because I do know some awesome people that knew their shit that worked at Gamestop), I'm just saying that's my general rule with Gamestop.  Some of the funniest stories I've ever heard start with A Gamestop manager said... and I've actually had Gamestop employess argue with me, knowing full and well that I work for Terminal Reality and work on Ghostbusters, that Ghostbusters was absolutely cancelled and would never be released.  I even overheard one employee tell a customer that the 360 version was due to be dropped so they should only reserve the PS3 version and buy a PS3 if they don't already have one (and this was shortly after the game was announced).

Again, no offense to you, but I rarely trust anything Gamestop employees or managers tell me and trust them even less when it's over the internet.
