I don't believe you! 360's don't break!

Take your trolling elsewhere Sony fanboy.

Not so cute....

I worked at eb games for 4 years.. ive sold thousands of xbox 360s.....and i have never returned so many defective systems on any other system. (real life interactions)

I did not just run to a store and buy a new system. you ASSumed I did. My system froze every 5 secs and i was pissed for about an hour before i went to GS to sell. i tried to play 15 diferent games and all my CDs are perfect no way was it my disks. i know more abbout this then you do and all of us are smart enough to know that after an hour of tested 20 diferent games in my system and they all freeze that your system is defective... and yes it does seem like you are defending the RROD.

No pass console defective rate was as high as 33% as far as i know. (im talking popular systems nintendo, sony, sega) i know ps2 was a lot but thats because they sold a shit lot of systems. i will say it was not 33%.

You dont have to swallow anything im not asking you to. But to think that even tho a system with one of the highest defective rates ever does not get defective because yours has only gotten 1 RROD( lol) is foolish and i think im posting to a child.

Don't call me silly, you are the first person I meet who says he is at his fith RROD and I find hard to believe.

That is all.

But again I may be wrong

you are wrong and didnt someone in this post say they are on their 3-4th?

Edit: yes it was disolitude

I never had RROD tho. I sold one cause I wanted a pro and there was a great bundle for sale. And one had a disk drive issue. Just out of warranty too... I was going to swap the disk drive myself but I figure sell it and get a 120 gig model when the price cut happened.

I got an RROD on my 360 a while back. I took out all the leads and plugged them back in again, but the red lights still showed. It is my first system (an elite) which I owned for a year, and so wasn't really looking forward to send it back to Microsoft and losing my console for a couple of weeks. Anyway, I remember seeing a video on Youtube where several people found that if they tapped the 360 on the right side (with a hand or end of finger), it fixed the problem. I did the same thing, and it worked. I haven't had any issues since then and that was about 3 months ago.

It might be worth trying this technique before you quickly wrap it up and send it back to Microsoft, or do the crazy thing and buy a new one.

My Xbox 360 is still running fine, purchased Aug 07.

I guess its just bad luck but I agree with other posters that if it broke I would buy another in a heartbeat.

It gets 90% more playtime than my Wii and having just completed Dead Space I have to admit I am constantly amazed by the rich and diverse content available on the platform.

Wii might well be the Casuals choice
PS3 might well be the Movie Buffs choice
but the Xbox 360 is without a doubt the Gamers choice.

I am sorry, I just do not buy it. You just appear to be one of the least objective members to trust concerning this issue.

It is nothing personal.

1) And you have worked at a game store for four years which clearly encompasses NUMEROUS gaming generations (I hope you detected the sarcasm). Cute how you assumed that would make you somehow more credible.

2) I'll entertain this notion that you have been fed by the media and the like and agree that the 360 had a  failure rate of 33%. Even if past consoles did have higher failure rates, it would not be easy to prove considering technology and communication among the masses was not as efficient and videogaming was not as prominnent. With the internet and other factors, lots of information is widely and readily available that was not available before. And your four years at a game store really would not be applicable to past generations.

3) Cute how you attempt to attack my character and imply that I am a child to somehow discredt my argumemt.

I graduated with honors from the Pennsylvania State University. Bachelors of Science in Finance with a concentration in accounting. I work for the structured finance group of one of the top four acconting firms in the world. Nice try though.

And I am not a fanboy, I just love to eat through faulty logic.

ROFLOL...I've STILL got my original 360 elite from 2 weeks after they were introduced, and I'm up and running...and this was my second 360, as I sold my first one. So, sorry, but I can't understand how people have gone thru FIVE of them...that's just crappy luck, or you're doing something terrible wrong...or maybe you have like 50,000 achievements and keep your 360 running 24-7...whatever it is....I just can't understand how I've yet to have ONE RROD and some have reported 5, 6, ,7 ,8 ,9 ,10...even some guy saying 12...lol...WTF!

I've had one 360 for 3 years and never had an issue.
