| Shadowfest3 said: The Xbox 360 Pro (20 gb) that I bought back in March of 2008, and regrettably sold to my brother-in-law 6 months ago, finally got the RRoD virus, ironically, while I was borrowing it from him. I was playing the Call of Duty 2 demo, remembering old times when I actually owned the game, when the system froze on me. I turned off the Xbox 360, thinking nothing was wrong, and went and got a milkshake from McDonald's. I decided to play the CoD 2 demo again when I got back and turned the Xbox 360 on, when, to my surprise, the Red Ring of Death had taken it over. I had only been playing the demo for less than 10 minutes prior to it freezing on me.
So, let's see, the manufacture date is, December 27, 2007 and I don't know what chip set it had, but the "number" is 12V---16,5A. Anyways, I will be sending it in to Microsoft so it can be fixed, for my brother-in-law. I did have a two year extended plan from the store I bought it from so I wonder if I can just get a new one from the store? I seriously doubt that. Well, I am not too bummed out about it. It lasted for about a year and a half without any problems so I am content with that result and I look forward to the Xbox 360 return from the afterlife. |
@ bolded: I'm not trying to start anything, but I can't believe you (or anyone) could find this acceptable. When I buy any electronics, I damn well expect it to last at least 5 years. I don't know how in god's name microsoft was able to get away with this, and keep their fanbase. It's mind boggling.
anyways, @OP: sorry to hear about your (brother-in-law's) xbox. hopefully you'll (he'll?) get it back in no time. :)
