Forums - Gaming - 3 magic words "NO MORE RROD" will you get a 360?

Nope, my next hardware related investments are a decent gaming PC, Master System, DSLite then a PSP 3000. Maybe if I was made of money.

You do realize that you get a three year warranty correct? If your console lasts three years, you more than likely have a keeper.

 

MSFT has been adding loopholes to this warranty due to the unexpected number of failures and forced failures and it can be a real hassle waiting 3-6+ weeks to get your console back.

 

Aside from that, if there is conclusive proof that the consoles failure rate falls in the 3-5% range(the jaspers may very well come close to this range) I will urge every person I know that doesnt have one to buy one.  I may even buy a new one and sell my tainted refurbs.



No, I decided a few months ago that when I decide to get a second console, it would be a PS3.

Yeah, I call complete bullshit on that one.  Aside from the fact that everyone I know that has had a 360 die on them and has had a very smooth time and got it back in less than 3 weeks, I would love to see proof of that beyond fanboy forum posts.

Nope, its been 3 years and all the problems are still present, i will only get a 360 on boxing day for Fable II.



what is this about a 3 year warrenty? it only covers 2 failers of the hardware.



 

 assumption is the mother of all f**k ups 

Well, I will say that the chances would increase infinitely for me if there was no RROD, because I'm not buying something that is known to fail so often as the 360 is. That's not to say they are very high, but it would certainly go up from zero.



So you mean the new Xbox 360 have no more RROD ( completely ) ?

Are you sure about that?  Can you point to me where it says that?
