Have an XBOX 360? Has it broken?
Have an XBOX 360? Has it broken?
I don't have an XBOX 360, but with the excellent roster of games it's accumulating, it's looking more and more inevitable that I pick one up. Sad thing is, almost everyone I know who has one has had to send it back in due to the Red Rings of Death.
Anyone out there NOT have their 360 break on them?

It happened to my brother's XBOX 360. I was playing Rainbow Six Vegas then all of a sudden THE RED RING OF DEATH appeared. The worst part was his warranty had expired, so he had to pay for it to get fixed!
I hear the new 360's shouldn't have that problem though.

I picked up a 360 about a year after launch in hopes that the bugs would be worked out but 4 months later I got the red ring of death. The bonus is that customer service was pretty helpful and it only took me 6 days to send in and receive my fixed 360 with a nice month of live for my trouble.
was I upset about the loss of the machine? yeah, it could have been at a better time (right when the halo 3 beta started). But I was satisfied with the return time at least.

I've got a weird issue. Playing Assassin's creed last night, all of the alternating textures on screen start flashing on and off (with some regularity). If I reboot, anything I get the same thing in the game. Popped in Halo 3 and it seemed to be fine.
However, every third time I take out Assasin's creed it's either small blocks all over the dashboard or an error message (E74 - Something about the AV cable or GPU) and 1 red light.
Really annoying, and bad timing...Assassin's Creed is really good!

i have a 360 since November and so far it's doing fine. no RRD or anything. no problems with the games either. haven't played Assassin's Creed but it's a pretty buggy game from what i've seen on some related forums.
my cousin's console died 2 months ago though. and i have a friend who's 360 only lasted 15 minutes once set up and while playing Gears of War.
i keep my fingers crossed.

I should update this.Stick wrote:currently on my 3rd xbox.. and even that one is starting to make strange noises.. i just hope that if it choses to die, it's still while i'm near the vicinity of where i can still get it serviced.
i'm now on my 4th xbox. lol
but i decided to pay a little more and trade it in for an elite. Luckily, they took the difference of the price I paid when the xbox was first released so I only paid a small sum in difference.
