360 Falcon RRoD?

[Joelcool7]

Well Microsoft isn't all that good at building up consumer confidance are they. I bought a 360 Elite the first non-Nintendo console I have ever purchased and honestly I remain unimpressed. My console has frozen multiple times with many different games and with the talk of Red Ring of Death I have gone and purchased an intec fan stand as well as aimed two of my household fans at the console.

Honestly if my console gets hit with the Red Ring of Death I will be severly angry. I am glad that it is covered under warranty but even the idea that 2-years after the console launched that Microsoft still hasn't fixed a defect their consoles have suffered for the last six years.

 I mean I love Halo3 but my buddy is on his fifth 360 and mine already freezes. I haven't had a console freeze on me during normal play (Less then 8-hours strait) since the NES. My last console to freeze was my SNES which I left on 3-days before it was shot. I would leave the SNES on all day while I was at school whenever I was not at a save point. 

 So how is it that the SNES could last 3-days and the N64 could last ages and the GameCube could last ages. But only a few hours after purchasing my 360 it was freezing during gameplay? I e-mailed Microsoft who suggested that the problem of course wasn't the 360 but the game disks. But the problem has persisted even with Halo3 which froze today and my console is pipping hot. Of course I played Halo3 for about 6-hours before the console froze up.  

 

Fact is come 2009 they may as well just call the next X-Box, X-Box: RROD. Because honestly Microsoft's track record blows. How can you still have over heating and Red Ring Of Death problems 6-years after they begun!
