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.

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.

 

Steroid is a known 360-hater.

On these forums, bad ps3 news inevitably lead to a surge of trolls on the MS forums and unfortunately the last adjustment appears to have triggered another wave.

Goddamn I wish the kids learnt to just enjoy the games.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. If someone even wants to mention RROD: "TROLLING, TROLLING, TALKING BOUT THAT'S TROLLING".

I do enjoy the games Bitmap, on all 3 consoles that I own. Hit me up when you can claim the same.

Actually i think he just acts like he hates teh 360 to piss people off, cause he thinks its fun.  I'm sure irl he loves his 360 as much as all his other consoles that he has.

OT: Sell it, keep your hard drive and look around for a good on a new 360 arcade...

if you are really desperate, you can try the x-clamp method and mod your 360

I think I'm going to try and sell it and then get a new one. I was wanting to get a bigger hardrive and it was going to cost me $79.99 for the 120 from some ebay dealers.

Certain forum posts say Elites will be down to $299.99 by the end of the year with a 120 or 160 gig harddrive, one of the newer motherboards, and Halo 3 and Fable II thrown in as well, then that would be a sweet deal!

Of course, I was also looking into getting a DS and Wii this year as well, and I'm sure that puts a monkeywrench into some of those plans. Also, I just got Fallout 3: Collector's Edition for 360 yet and I haven't been able to find time to play it. And, I don't think I'm going to put the disc in my current '60.

Doesn't sound like it honestly.

I have a question about my 360 aswell, i've gotton started while playing SO4 again and something... seems off...

As for your issue, no, but it does sound like an error of some sort.
