Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Has Microsoft gotten rid of the Rrod?

CaptainPrefrences on 21 April 2008

Nope. My cousin got a 360 2 weeks ago, as I explaiend sometime ago, and it still got the rrod. It mustve been a falcon one. I lol'd at him so hard when I saw it happen

Capt. Did you bother actually checking the manufacturer date on his console to confirm when it was made, to ensure it was a falcon, or are you just saying that only based on when he bought it?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

It makes people go insane, no thanks.



So what do you win if your prefered console sells more than another?

Failure rate for Xbox 360s is still at more than 16%. Only 60% of which are RRoD failures. This means 6.4% of 360s fail and aren't even covered by Microsoft's warranty. This is more than double the PS3 and Wii failure rates of ~3%.

Mines like that, is it still returnable?

it's impossible to eliminate it 100% just like any other console
However, i think MS may have reduced it

How do you know you are getting an XBOX 360 manufactured after October 2007?



DOATS1 on 22 April 2008

when i first got my 360, i was scared of rrod, but now i don't even think about it. i just switch it on and i'm good to go. still can't get used to the annoying drive noise though.

The 3 red lights is probably just an error code. You can't eliminate it because it is just saying there is a problem. So long as the console can fail you can get the RRoD.
