Thanks disolitude, that's pretty cool. Still, I don't get why they haven't fixed the RODD-problem yet. It's been happening to lots of people since the game launched, and they haven't done anything about it. Pretty lame.

 

@starcraft

Really? I was under the impression that they weren't doing anything to fix it. Well, that's what I heard from people I know anyway.


We've received virtually no reports of Rrod from consoles manufactured in the last six months.  I know three people with Rrod (myself included).  I got it twice, they each got it three times.  On our last repairs (all around 8-10 months ago) they seem to have got it right, and we now run fine.

Well, ninteen of my friends got it forty-two times a piece.

I had my 360 for almost 2 years and i thought i was immune to this but i guess not, i do have to say tho it really makes me not want to buy games for my 360 once i get a PS3. i mean why buy games for a console that has a good chance of breaking when i can buy ones for a console that doesn't have the same issues...


 ...so you've been having fun with the system for 2 years and there's one problem and you're ready to just drop it for a different system? wow...

I still enjoyed my NES even though 2 of them broke on me. I still enjoyed my Genesis even though it broke on me. I still enjoyed my Sega Saturn even though it broke on me. I still enjoyed my PS1 even though I had to flip it upside down to play games...

@smbu2000

From DmeisterJ, treat this comment with hilarity and humour.

From BCNR34, treat his comment with concern.  There is genuine worry on VGC that he actually believes the words he types.  Such instability is rarely seen in humans, and we've all agreed to keep an eye on him for his own well-being.

 My bad i don't mean to make it sound like i am leaving the 360 world not at all, but if i can buy a game for a console that has good chance to not break and not leave me gameless for a month then that just sounds like a better idea to me

i'm sorry to hear it mate, i have a falcon 360 so i don't expect mine to break down as easily as yours. but now that gta is around the corner and you need a reliable console to play it on... *cough*

(price includes reliability)




Ya get a 360 elite, little more pricey but solid.
