My 2nd xbox 360 died today!

Archive: 29 posts


Only a few days after the warranty..
and it died again.

So now we have to buy our 3th xbox 360.
IT might be the console with the most fun games,
its the worst console ever made.

so.. my brother was uber angry.. and wanted to do something he never thought doing..

quotes:
1st: see, you can open your xbox without removing the special screws.
2nd: I want to see its heart!

everything else is just useless text.

I've got also two XBOX360 that died by ROD.
Fortunately, in my case the consoles was under guarantee in the two cases.

I understand your brother, but i think that doing the same as in the video will be useless...

Mine has never died

Although, I can see why people don't like 360's, if yours keeps dying it gets frustrating. Luckily if you get the extended warranty you just can replace it unless it fails after the date, in which case you should just break your 360 a day before it expires on purpose and return it and get a new one for free!

That was a pretty cool video. I've had one die on me, and I haven't fired up the replacement for quite some time, several months I think. Last time I checked it worked.

If Microsoft had just waited a year to build a better machine, rather than rushing to beat sony to the next generation, well, things sure would be different. Maybe HD-DVD's would still be around as I guess they would have put one in, and maybe there would not be so many red rings.

It's one thing to hear something breaking once or twice. It's another thing to have several people you know go through the same issue. That just says a badly designed machine to me.

well you do not Haaaaaaave to get a 3rd Xbox 360, just get a PS3 instead, unless you already have one then nvm mind what i just said, and i wish you luck with the new 360 and i hope you do not break that one.

Cheers!

I've wanted to do that before. I've only had my console RROD on me once. Luckily it was under the extended 2 year warranty; they sent me a refurbished console, and it has worked to this day. *knock on wood*2009-01-03 09:09:00

Why would you stay with anything that breaks frequently if it was any other piece of technology or furniture that was breaking every 4-5 months it would be replaced with something else.

Just this morning I was thinking, "Hey, I love Gears and it might be time to get a 360". And then I saw this thread...

Thanks for helping me remember why I don't own Micro$oft's latest console...

Gears is all buggy and laggy anyways, for the moment at least, which sucks, because it could have been epic, pardon the pathetic pun....but yeah... i will continue playing whilst i have friends on there, as it is only the community keeping me, but they are slowly coming over to the PS3...2009-01-03 13:32:00

lol, fable needs work too unfortunately, a good game, but it is to short and a bit easy... I want skate and F1 09, but both of those will be on PS3 anyways...2009-01-03 13:35:00

Let's just say Sony doesn't really have anything to worry about with me; I didn't exactly have my wallet out and the 360 on the checkout counter at my local retailer. Microsoft has a long road in front of them before they even come close to my good graces and deserve my hard-earned money.

I'm just hoping Tecmo comes through with Quantum Theory and we can get something similar to Fable. I know Fable is produced by Microsoft, but are Lionhead Studios developing exclusively for 360 at this point? Anyone know?

what's this quantum you speak of..?2009-01-03 14:13:00

Not much to go on, but the trailer says it all. Tecmo looks to duplicate Gears for the PS3. If they pull it off I'll buy it. Simple as that and one less reason to covet 360 owners...

I could see why you might think that after I read my post through again. Clarification, Quantum Theory is a PS3 exclusive that looks to bring something similar to Gears over to the Sony side.

So now we have to buy our 3th xbox 360.




Yeah, the 2th time is annoying. But the 3th? Too much.


XD

It's "3rd" not "3th".

sorry
english isnt my 1st language, I also have problems with AM and PM

fable 2 is worse than fable 1 imho.
even more lineair, and my bro played pure evil and I played pure good.. and the difference was.. almost nothing besides for instance destroy the farm instead of saving it.
It will all result in the same outcome.

My launch 360 finally bit the dust today... looks like I'll be playing a lot more LBP on my PS3, now.

Edit: @supersickie: That video isn't working for me.

Here's a different link: IGN Video: Quantum PlayStation 3 Trailer - TGS 2008: Trailer@@AMEPARAM@@flashvars='object_ID=14288075&downloadURL=http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/917/917885/QuantumTheory_100808_flvlowwide.flv&allownetworking=@@AMEPARAM@@object@@AMEPARAM@@1428 8075@@AMEPARAM@@ps3movies@@AMEPARAM@@ps3@@AMEPARAM @@917/917885@@AMEPARAM@@QuantumTheory_100808_flvlowwide

Is that the same trailer? It looks pretty epic... I see no chainsaw bayonet, however. =P

I have a 360, and it hasn't let me down since 2006...
I once got a RROD. But I fixed it myself, by prising open the DVD drive (which had stuck, causing the RROD).
Also, I regularly dust-clean it by sticking a hoover onto the side air vent.

No chainsaw bayonet, but that's the same trailer.
