Yeah, but didn't they extend the warranty for one year because of rrod? I bought the 3 year warranty.


its unfortunate but u can get it fixed now from back street shops if you want. although how long it will last i dunno.

mine went a while back, and i didnt even realise the rrod is covored in the uk also aswell as usa, but my console was getting mangey anyway and i bought a falcon and it runs sweet not had any probs with it so far apart from an E number i got,, but after deleting loads of stuff on HD and re plugging it back in its seems fine.

imo id buy a fresh one instead of getting fixed.

You forgot your own birthday? (assuming 12/26/1972 is your bday and your name is Ed?)


     I didn't forget my birthday.  I just forgot when I said my birthday was.

Oh so you used a fake age?



Here's a RE5 bundles 360 with the Red Ring of Death:


Apparently this is happening a lot. I literally don't know any 360 owner who hasn't gotten the Red Ring if not DVD failure. Even in this thread there are 360 owners who have gotten it multiple times. Yet for some reason among the 360 fanbase if you mention it they scream "trolling". Why do they chastise people for mentioning RROD but for some reason MS gets a free pass? They decided to launch the system with the problems that it has. God forbid we have an actual conversation about how this was one of the biggest mistakes in console history.

Furthermore it is not entirely unreasonable that TXsnakes 360 has gotten RROD after the 3 years were up. He has a PS3 so it's likely that he did not play his 360 as much as someone who only has a 360, hence the delayed fail.

Quickly trade it in before its completely a goner?

That's the best idea.


I wouldn't recommend doing that. 


How so? He is trading it in as working condition. You saw his video he posted in this thread. He was playing his 360 for 6 minutes straight in the video and he says the problem happens peridocally. So he is okay, its trade in able!


     It's up for sale.

So you're saying because one 360 RRoD's in 5 days that all will?

Would it be much more reasonable to say all electronics can break?

Nobody is saying that the new 360's can't RRoD, that would be stupid, we are just saying that the new 360's have been greatly improved so that the failure rate has been greatly reduced.

You posting a video only shows what we already know: any piece of electronics can fail.

What do you want to bet that within a week of the PS3 slim releasing that there will be videos of PS3 slims with yellow lights?  Does that mean that they all automatically will yellow light within a week or purchasing them?  No, it just means it's a piece of electronics and electronics break over time.

In 2009 there's not much difference between 72 and 73.

What? O_o



^ We let women get by with lying about their age. If a man wants to say he was born in 1973 instead of 1972 in 2009, he should be allowed to do so especially if people tell him he always looks younger than 36.
