Oh in that case then two people I know who get a 360 during Christmas got the rrod. The falcons really help.

2/3rds of the people I know who got a PS3 at launch had to return it due to hardware defects. PS3 hardware must be horrible! Wait, thats not it. I am just using anecdotal evidence to troll! I wonder where I got the idea from...

Im really sure that happend.

Even if it did, thats nothing compared to the rrod..

 

Quit the flamming. Jeez. Consoles with Falcon chips in have a much better % of no RRoD. However the Jasper should eliminate all heat issues this summer. I know it's not great for MS but heat is the problem.

To the people posting for him to get the "falcon" model, coming from someone who has sent 3 360's back myself....Microsoft CS doesnt give you the option of requesting a new console. They can leave it in the notes for the tech, but once your console gets there its strictly the techs decision on whether they fix yours, send a new one, or even better yet a refurbished console(aka not broken yet).

Each time I sent mine in I requested a my console be replaced with a newer model and each time it didnt happen. It sucks, but thats the way they handle it. Also I asked one of thier CS reps what was the #1 cause of the RRoD error, his answer was there are over 100 different things that can cause such error. So needless to say the falcon chip by itself isnt going to help with all the errors.

It actually did, believe it or not. Given 2/3rds of my friends that got it at launch can also be said as 2 out of the 3 people I know who got a launch PS3. We got a really shitty batch of launch PS3s down here for whatever random reasons. One gamestop had everyone of their PS3s returned as defective, which was all of like 4 units. One of my friends at best buy claimed 10 of the 50 units they sold were returned as well. It was a localized statistical anamoly that has no meaning in anything beyond a one time coincidence. That is exactly the same as you critisizing the Falcon models based on 2 cases you happen to know of. Without any form of proof you are just being an obnoxious troll.

I think you should wait for a more reliable 360 to come out or buy a ps3 and gey haze for it so i can play with you online. i should have my new ps3 by then because me old one was stolen



Time to pick up a Wii.

 I concur, falcons jaspers etc are all so called "solutions" but people with falcons still get rrod but instead of 33% of the time it is now 16% so yay? i guess.  Can't wait for my bro's 360 to rrod so i can convert him to a Wii player.

Zen -

Or you forget about Falcons, right? The ones that are more reliable than the shoddy 40gb models?

Or would you prefer to mind your own business in your own forum, since your really not a 360 supporter, and a typical Sony troll?

spartan - RRoD happens for any, and no reason. Mine RRoDed when I attempted to play PD0 over a year ago. Get yours replaced with the new Falcon, and never worry about RROD again!

 

Zen is a Sony troll? O_o If anything, I'd classify him as a Nintendo troll :P OT: lol. Weird. That sucks. Like mrstickball recommended, get a Falcon!

I was gonna say,  who would mistake zen for a sony troll?
