LOL like RRoD is going to stop like that.... and the BigFatJ a lot is what ???? a 1000, 10 000, a milion ???? I mean come on how many post can you read in a day.....

you also have PS3 failling and Wii... it just wasn't a major issue at the beginning so we don't hear about it.... the Falcon error might still be higher than Wii and PS but they went dramatically down and are probably in the acceptable failure percentage.... yes the XB needs a redesign.... but that argument don't buy an XB it's going to break is getting old, without saying that with a 3 year warranty XB is going to be one of the best deal out there soon because it will be the only console that'll be covered until the end of the generation.... I don't know you but it'd make me think twice before buying another console... think about it you have the choice between a safer product but you just have a regular one year cover at best, now you have a product known to fail that have been rework over 4 years almost and that offers you a 3 year warranty... hell i'm covered until E3 2011

(little hint, it's easy to RRoD any console, so my advice you buy an XB keep it until june 2011 then you just tape the vent and wait for it to RRoD, you send it back and have a brand new one for the end of the gen. virtually XB is the only console you can be almost sure will not cost you a thing before next gen at that point in this gen)

hehe, funny thought...but thats not really something I'd recommend people doing...don't give Rock_on and BigFatJ any ideas how to start putting MS out of business :)

@endimion: That's dishonest, environmentally wasteful and IMO not the kind of comment which should be encouraged here...

 

what my point or the hint of RRoDing it on purpose ???

We should probably let this thread die since I messed up the title and no one seems to actually be reading the link.



NNN2004 on 08 July 2008

Holy crap you mean machines can still break and *aren't* foolproof!?

I guess you learn something new everyday, thanks rasone77! I thought all technology just works and can't break.



 

endimion on 08 July 2008

well I rebought mine because of dvd error and I was still under RRoD warranty... after that people are free to act and morally responsible for their actions. but I fundamentally agree with you, that's why I didn't do it myself....

Actually, if you *really* want to be dishonest, after you get RROD just do the towel trick and then take your 360 to Gamestop.

This thread has already been done. It is old news. Spartan has done it already. It should be locked. It could annoy some of the MS fans.



rasone77 on 08 July 2008

I want to lock it anyway. It read like they were debunking the mirror's article. There's too much garbage on this site and I don't want to be known as adding to it.
