that damn RROD thing keeps putting me off.

I can get an elite for a very good price (especially that it comes with a special feature that the ps3 currently doesn't have).Sure there's no online(there's no chance in hell I am paying for what clearly should be free) but my internet speed (and I shamefully say it) is only 256/32 Kbit/s so it never works the way it should anyway, and there's no bluray but I don't have an HD set yet, but there's still that special feature.

Why it's such a big deal eventhough some owners have claimed(and I hardly doubt it because parting with your main gaming system for 2 weeks is no laughting matter) that sending it in was no problem, is that I don't have that kind of option where I am, If it dies on me that's it,game over, I have to buy another one.

 

So if I rationalise my play sessions to no more than 3 hours and put a fan next to it is there a chance that it would survive 3-5 years? or is it only a matter of time before it puts on the infamous monochromatic light show?

 

P.S:Don't get me wrong, I still think PS3>360 and I am only getting it for (the ridiclously awesome) Gears of War.

(please only actual owners of the console)

Was that sentence really necessary? You don't have to justify your purchase of a 360 to the other PS3 fans on this site...

So you want to buy a hacked 360 so you can bootleg, but you are afraid of RROD.......Life sure is hard. Just buy the system and pay for the good games.

 

 Exactly.

It's not hard to prevent RROD. I have a formerly RROD system. I cleaned it out and hooked up an extra fan, then have it set in a place where it gets decent airflow. Never have had a problem.

My uncle has a launch system that he plays pretty frequently. Never had a problem.

Just take the nobrainer precautions and you're most likely not going to have any problems. And if you do? Xclampfix.com. I have a friend that makes a secondary living off of buying RROD systems, fixing them, then reselling at $100 profit. Sometimes he fixes five of 'em in one day. He's only had like three or four that the x-clamp fix didn't work with.

Your buying a hacked 360, to get games illegally?

I hate people that pirate, its just terrible for the gaming companies, look at the psp and its software.

Yea,Companys like EA need...Ermm...Nevermind..

 

But buying a Hacked System is just wrong.

 

 

Actaully, EA does neeed your gaming dollars. They are hemmoraging cash like mad right now.
