Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Killing my Falcon softly with this heater? 3 months of abuse and no RROD!

Squilliam on 13 October 2008

I just realised that my Xbox 360 (Falcon chipset) sits between 6 inches away and actually touching my 2400W oil column convection heater, surface temperature? Too hot to touch for more than a few seconds. That shows how much I care I guess...

Im not worried at all, its just a convenient place to put it so I can access the drive because I store my disks/etc in a chest under my seat. I like the toasty feeling of sitting next to my heater and I like the convenience of sitting next to my Xbox 360 so yeah why should I worry? Im covered by a RROD warranty until February 2011 anyway and I have a gaming PC/PS3/Wii to play if it breaks.

Btw I haven't had any glitches, hitches, freezes, 2 ring overheating or anything like that. But its still funny. "OMGZ the RROD monster will get youz!"

All I can say is LULZ!!!



Tease.

i live in latin america a real hot country we don't need heaters,  but  there is a chance i get RROD in a 32-34º lowest 21-24º C?



blackstar on 13 October 2008

well this proves that RROD is caused by cooling not heating or ...... both?



NightDragon83 on 13 October 2008

C'mon.. everyone knows that RROD is caused by global warming!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

i'm sorry... but a device NOT breaking down within 3 months is now deserving a thread praising it?

Aren't we setting the bar low or what? :P



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

Fixed.

 



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

3 months and no RRoD! Congrats!

Most products are made to go kaput right when the warranty is up, you still have 33 months to go!



Squilliam on 14 October 2008

Its because my Xbox 360 is a masochist.



Tease.

Lucky, I baby most of my equipment and even have an air purifier running to reduce air-born contaminants. I went to turn on my 360 on Sunday and got the rrod. I am sad >.
I have one of the first Elite models so maybe I'll get lucky and get a newer one, I doubt it though. I am trying to look on the bright side...
