"who is still on their first 360?"


  

          

all these posts about systems breaking. I am curious who hasnt had to send theirs in yet. Post up how long you have had it also.

I got mine last xmas. So its been 1 year, and I have only had like 1 freeze up.

November 8th, 2005 The greatest night in the history of GD!

and i was just about to win the welterweight championship.

wise survivors of the RRoD, what is the cost for shipping and repair on this hunk of metal? with my money right now, i am not sure i can afford even that.

might have to collect dust while the PS3 gets shine time.

I hope nothing happens

If you do get the dreaded red ring is the fix free ?

Do you have buy/fill out that form that comes with it or do so many get fucked up now that it doesn't matter and they fix shit for free ?

Cowboys yo

or
ppl who shit works with "minor hiccups"

In response to Reply # 7


  

          

You have to take it and readjust 2 to 3 times before it reads and plays. If the 360 weren't as much fun as it is it'd be a piece of shit albeit, it's a fun piece of shit at the moment.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

But my older brother's has a flaw where it won't read the disc right away. Not a huge problem, but annoying as fuck.

Had to send my cousins' 360 in back in '05. But then I moved before it came back so I didn't care.

put it on its short end so that the two long sides are exposed to free air.

plug it into a surge protector.

don't play if you're not going to keep your apt / house cool.

don't use it to play dvd's if you don't have to.

In fact, I DARE it to mess up. I f*ckin' double dare it to mess up, just once. HAHAHAA!

Naw, seriously, I do be looking at it sometimes like "are you acting perfect just to make the pain even worse when you show me the red"....

But so far, no problems, other than freezing up a very few times.....certainly no more than PS2 or 1, GameCube, my computers, my cell phone......pretty much anything electronic nowadays.

In fact, it's survived 3 DC to Phoenix Christmas trips now (it goes in my carry-on luggage) *shrug*.

Haha oh well, it had a good run. A part of me is kinda glad it happened now since they're only covering 3 years right? It would have been 3 years for me come this November and it woulda been real wack if right after the window passed it died.

The funny thing is, mine didn't become gradually worse or give any hints that it was about to mess up. In fact, the moment it died was as random as you could imagine (driving around on Mass Effect). The screen froze and that was the end. Everytime after I got the 3 lights.......occasionally the intro screen would start and then freeze. Either way, no more gameplay.

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/01/a-year-in-xbox-360-failures-2007-edition/

Although he apparently didn't have the greatest customer service experience:


Zack Stern : I was nervous about contributing to this story, since I haven't had an Xbox RROD yet. But my horrible customer service experience as a regular gamer -- I didn't call any of my PR contacts as a writer -- was worth mentioning.

Remember that XBLA promo for two free games? I followed the instructions and got the codes for Joust and Robotron. The problem was that the Joust code -- the only game of the two I cared about -- didn't work.

I figured the problem would be easily resolved through email. But after a couple messages, many outgoing calls to India, zero out of two promised calls made to me, and a few total hours of my time wasted, I still have no Joust replacement code. Highlights include repeating several times that my name isn't "Sack Turner," and explaining the entire story over and over for nearly every new call placed.

One of the level two support guys said, on October 17, that he couldn't give me any prediction about how long the replacement code would take. I gave him some options, like "this week," "this month," and "this year," but he wouldn't take any. I guess he's glad that he didn't.

And as you journey into outerspace
may the technicians help to lead the way
may the packaging UPS made
cover your broken shell and keep you safe
And all the 360s that done passed away
They there to greet you as you pass Mr. Gates
And though you suffered from the three red lights
I hope it leads to eternal life

I bought mine when Halo 3 first came out and it still works but I did get the red lights a couple of times, but what I did then was just turn it off and turn it back on and it worked.

There are other red light paterns that just the ones that brick your shit...generally if you start seeing red lights, your shit is gonna die pretty soon.

On my 2nd 360, the red lights started a month before it died for good.

lockups only every once in a while and some scratch disc errors long ago...but lately it's been fine. however games are starting to load slowly, but i'm not sure if that's just bad game programming...

i also don't play games but a couple days a week, so no real stress tests

>like 1 freeze up.

I'll say that this post made my 2nd Xbox die via multiple freezes in the last week. Overheating? Bad placement? I dunno, but I swear my PS2 is sitting near it in the same fuckin entertainment center and it works without freezing on the regular. As does my DVD player and my cable box. Hell, my old Nintendo still works, so fuck the 'it needs ventilation' bullshit. There's plenty of space around it for cooling to occur if the system wasn't shitty. And its not like I even play the shit all the time and wear it out. I randomly go 3 or 4 weeks without touching a 360 controller on the regular. I guess that's why mines have been lasting so long.

If shit isn't weak enough...

After 25 years of videogame playing, my 3rd 360 is telling me that I don't know how to hook up a console (3 Kanye's aka flashing lights).

Either that or...I guess the plug (I swapped consoles not plugs) has overheated so now I'm going to have to wait around for it to cool off. At least I can go ahead and watch the Final Four now instead of recording and watching later like I was gonna do.

WTF. These fuckers have really made a lemon of a product with this 360. I don't feel like I should have to get an Elite to avoid this sensitive console bullshit. And I refuse to have a fuckin shrine for a piece of electronics for it to work properly. Hell, folks think you are supposed to have a special place for the fuckin plug brick! Shiiiiiiiit (c) Clay Davis.

When these NCAA games are over, this 'new' 360 better fuckin work. I wanna play some 2k8 today, and if the shit doesn't happen because of some MS Xbox 360 bullshit, its curtains for the 360.

My current 360 which is the one they sent me as a replacement a year ago works fine and whatnot, but whenever I don't play it for a few days and start it up it sounds like I just started up an old a/c unit.

210. "Years later update"
In response to Reply # 84


  

          

My 5th or so XBox died about a month ago. I bought a PS3 for God of War III earlier this year. Since this last 360 died, I bought 4 or 5 games for the PS3. Now I may not even replace the 360. If the warranty is still good, I could see eventually calling for the shipping box and getting it swapped out. Otherwise, I may not ever get another 360. TVersity is working well enough on the PS3, I'm playing SSFIV on a regular. I'd hate that I never finished Gears 2. And the online/arcade stuff seems better overall. Otherwise, screw it. When the price drops on the 2nd Ninja Gaiden, I will have little reason to be looking for another XBox. I just need to play Amon and the 360 posse on SSFIV now that I'm slightly better than I was the last time we linked up.

In response to Reply # 0


          

So I've gotten one RROD and this one that just died is my second disk drive failure. Those clowns wanted me to cough up $99 to fix that shit. I got pissed and demanded to speak to a supervisor, who incidentally I got "disconnected from. I wasn't being a dick either I just told him how 3 Xboxes failing on me in a row is unacceptable. I called back and got another supervisor who said they would fix it for free and I'm supposed to get a call from some customer service rep. Just as I was getting into GTA 4 too. Damn I'm pissed.

I'da been PISSED!

Hope this gets resolved quickly so you can get back in the game. Depending on how cakey you are, I'd recommend getting a PS3 in the meanwhile to get your GTA4 on. MGS4 is coming out in June, so if you don't already have one you might as well get it now.

In response to Reply # 89


  

          

That and MGS of course. Although, if you switch to ps3, you won't get to play your online games with loud, racist twelve year olds over Xbox live. I guess there's a downside to everything.

I tried one multiplayer game on GTA before my box died. It was the typical racist little children I hear on Halo and COD. Sigh. I have yet to play a game on the PS3 though, I may try it out soon, but in all honesty once that service takes off I full expect to hear those racist little shits on there too.

If you count tons of worry free hours on their current and past
consoles, as well as constant joy 'commission', then sure,
I'll call it that.

I've been using Sony products to play games, do AV work, and all kinda other stuff, for fifteen years now. They just know how to do
it proper in the hardware department.

Whereas microsoft, not really known for its hardware.
Or much of anything else they make being reliable.

Now MS Word, theres a milestone they have really repped for.
That, I will definately fuck with.

I've owned sony products for more than 15 years.


some of them have broken, some of them haven't.


I would never tell someone to buy a ps3 because we had a trinitron back in the 80's, and i wouldn't tell them not to because the tube kept going out in that motherfucker and losing red as it neared the end of its life.

continue enjoying your subpar gaming expeience

95. "Nope, just saying it's better to get something like that on PS3"
In response to Reply # 91


  

          

If all things are pretty much equal, like with this game, cop it for the more reliable system.

I guess you wouldn't understand until your second systems gets the RROD, but it's extremely annoying to have a game you want to play and can't because your systems breaks. To get insulted by customer support on top of that is really infuriating.

Still, I'm not saying get rid of the 360 or anything. Gears and Fable look like they're going to be pretty dope, and there's already a bunch of good shit out now.

97. "I have a PS3"
In response to Reply # 89


          

I was tempted to get GTA 4 on the PS3 since I've played all the previous series on the PS2. The reason I didn't cop it for the PS3 is because the eventual 360 DLC and the fact that the PS3 controller blows (yes the dualshock version its better than the sixaxsis but the triggers are awful). I'm not going to rule out that option now, but I don't know if I want to "start over" on the PS3 version, which I hear is buggy as hell.

I'm mainly pissed at Microsoft for making such a shoddy system. Four ha ve died in my household (my roommate also lost one due to a faulty drive) and those clowns wanted a $100 to fix it. Thats some ol' bullshit. I'm waiting to see what the "repair escalation" rep says now when he calls me.

101. "In that case, maybe you should rent it for PS3 in the meantime"
In response to Reply # 97


  

          

The bugs have pretty much been on both consoles, so no worries there.

I'm split on the controllers after playing the shit out of GTA. The triggers definitely aren't as good for shooting, but they feel better for driving (they seem to have more space in between flooring it and going 5 mph). I like the 360 sticks a little better, but the shoulder buttons on the PS3 are better. The PS3 has better face buttons and a much better d-pad too, but overall doesn't feel THAT much better all around that I can say I prefer it.

Got the red light last night...shitty thing is that if it's just the one then you still have to pay to have it fixed ($110). I knew I jinxed it when I replied to this post lol.

Even my buddy who used to work on the box (works on the zune now) said to get a ps3, which all of my buddies have. Then again my bro works for microsoft as well and can get me free games see: Gears 2

Is it safe to assume that there's an adapter for the ps3 which would allow you to use a 360 controller? (...and yes, I know what happens when you assume)

Though I suppose if I got it fixed it would still be my first and only 360! Maybe I can smash it around and try to get all 3 lights going?

137. "just for the record, in Aug, my elite broke"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          


Anyway my elite lasted from late Dec - Aug 12 (day Madden dropped)

Games used to work after I'd put them in and out like 3-8 times
Don't remember how long into my system's cycle it started

Starting in May though, some games I was lucky to even get them to work (NBA 2K8)

Come July shit was fucked
Games in perfect condition not working

My sysyem just stayed saying 'Open Tray' when there was a game inside of it
Most of my games wouldn't even work (disc is unreadable please clean with a soft cloth etc)
Sometimes the system thought my games were DVDs

I take very good care of my games so that wasn't the problem

I bought Madden special edition on the release date and neither Coach or Madden would work

Sent that shit out two days after that and they sent me a new one
Everything works fine now

But yeah
No red rings but that shit was fucking broken

I really shouldn't have to worry about playing my system for too long
When it's been on for like 3-4 hours I can't help thinking that though
I'm fucking scared it's going to get worn out or some shit

Fuckin sorry

Knicks yo
Cowboys yo

139. "360 had a 68% failure rate at launch?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

http://www.destructoid.com/report-states-that-ms-was-aware-of-a-68-defect-rate-with-the-360-102855.phtml

A new report by Dean Takahashi, the author of Opening the Xbox and The Xbox 360 Unlocked, concludes that Microsoft knew that the Xbox 360 had a 68% failure rate at launch, but were unwilling to stop production on the console. The decision to keep plowing ahead and get the defective Xbox 360s out early added up to over one billion dollars worth of extended warranties and fixes. Also according to Takahashi, the decision crippled Microsoft’s ability to price the console as “aggressively” as they would have liked.

Takahashi’s biggest bang in his new report is wrapped around an anonymous source who said that Microsoft were adding “too many features after things were locked down” and added “hat incremental feature adding just made fragile.” The report then claims that Microsoft went ahead with the production process, despite a 68 percent defect rate.

In the end, Takahashi concludes that the issue has cost Microsoft more than repair money. It cost the publisher the ability to push a price point to compete with the Wii. He states, "The quality problem negated much of the advantage of going first, and it has delayed the company's plan to aggressively market the console and slash its prices.”

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I thought these newer systems were supposed to be better.

The only thing this one did different was go caput with less warning. My older system (now refurbed) froze and stuttered weeks before it died. The Elite just quit in the middle of Fable II.

Needless to say, after 800$ spent, I wont be giving m$ any more money on a system this gen.

I might as well have had a script, too, this time calling Xbox support.

They tried something new this time, saying i'd have to come up with my own packaging to send the system to them. That shit seemed suspect though, so I asked what happened to the coffins, and the CR folded. Done.

Xbox 360 Update Triggers Red Ring of Death Rumors (PC World)

* Posted on Mon Feb 9, 2009 4:10PM EST

- Hysteria can make elephants out of mosquitos, so when I say there's a new Xbox 360 "red ring of death" rumor running rampant, digest with caution and sangfroid, dear reader.

The panicked dispatch in question comes from a thread over at Microsoft's official Xbox forums titled "Todays Update Red Ringed my 360?" The message was posted on February 4th by a perplexed user and reads as follows:

So I just turned on my 360 tonight and it tells me there is a system update out. I download the update and the 360 shuts off...but it forgets to turn back on. Instead it decided it would be best to just pass away. Is this an update error or just a random coincidence? Anyone else having problems? I would hate to say that it's a Red Ring even though I'm sure it probably is. Just seems way too random that right after the update it died on me, it did not even start back up at all after the update, just started flashing.

The last Xbox 360 Dashboard update, revision 2.0.7363.0, was posted by Microsoft on February 3rd. According to Major Nelson, that update is mandatory and "addresses the issue that a few folks were having with audio and their HDMI connection."

So the timing lines up. But what about the symptoms?

Dozens on the Xbox thread in question claim they applied the update, then experienced the RROD, either immediately, or after playing certain games like of Call of Duty: World at War online.

Several users alternatively report receiving an "E74 error." One in particular says Microsoft support told him this constituted a hardware failure. He claims he "fixed" it by removing the HDMI cable, but that it returned as soon as he plugged the HDMI cable back in.

What's an E74 error? I'm not entirely sure — I've never experienced one — but it's very different from the RROD, though the end result appears to be similarly frightening. The latter involves three red lights and no video displayed, while the former involves just one and a video error message.

Per Microsoft's official support page, if the lower-right quadrant of the Ring of Light (RoL) flashes red and you received the following error message:

E74. System Error. Contact Xbox Customer Support

...you can follow the steps outlined here. If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll have to contact Xbox Customer Service.

The Red Ring of Death, or as Microsoft describes it, "Three of the lights on the Ring of Light on the front of your Xbox 360 console flash red," has only one troubleshooting step:

Turn off the console. Wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the console again to see whether the problem re-occurs.

If that doesn't fix it, you're out of luck, and if you're out of warranty, you'll have to submit a console-repair request online (and, presumably pay lots of money).

From around the blogosphere...

According to Boy Genius Report, the update may be "killing audio" on HDMI systems.

GameSpy pointed out that launch-day Xbox 360s are no longer under warranty and referenced the potential update bricking last Friday.

The rest of the media's in quiet mode, probably playing cautious for now.

Microsoft's response-to-all:

We are always taking steps to ensure our customers have the best experience on Xbox 360 and we have a detailed and comprehensive test and acceptance plan for our software updates to the console. If you are having any problems, please contact your local support so that we can assist you.

Has your Xbox 360 glitched or failed since the February 3rd update? Let us know below.

Matt Peckham's been through three Xbox 360s since November 2005, but hasn't had a failure in nearly two years. He's knocking on wood at twitter.com/game_on .

Bought mine early-mid 2006, finally died on me early 2009. But it's all patched up now and ready to roll!

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I was watching Netflix during a storm and something must of hit something because all the sudden I got disconnected from XBL (although it's odd because my router, cable modem and every other electronic device in the apartment is working fine, including my PS3 that was hooked up at the time the 360 went down)

System turns on and everything fine. Just won't go online.

Called support. Apparently you have to find your own box from somewhere and print out the label yourself nowadays. I got an extended warranty through GameCrazy with the system, but that doesn't kick in until after the manufacturers warranty expires. I could wait til September and just take it to them to swap out since it's supposed to take three weeks to get back from MS anyway.

I'm glad I've been buying most of my 3rd party games on PS3. It would suck if I couldn't play Blazblue and SFIV for the next few weeks.

In response to Reply # 194


  

          

They can usually fix/replace parts. Might cost some, but usually its worth it. Or maybe it's just the dude near me that does it. If you get RROD, for instance, after his fix, according to people who had it done there, it doesn't happen again. Again, just saying what they told me. Aparantly something to do with glue that microsoft uses that causes problems. But anyways, that dude knows what to do with every componet inside the box.

Stay strong

lasted about 18 months or so. and i ain't even get the 3 lights, so i thought i was SOL, but apparently they extended the 3-year warranty for the E-74 error i was getting, so at least it's getting fixed for free.

202. "just the power source on the plug died? really?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

guess I'll have to check back in with it tomorrow morning, but I got a red light on the big ass power plug that online support says is due to overheating (it's muggy as hell, very well might be the case, and I moved it recently and left it on the carpet) or "other problems."

been 90m or so since I got my ass booted out of a dream chopper ride in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (I'm mad about that, I was raining righteous fury) and it's still making angry red lights at me. I guess it's better than flipping it into a whole new system (although I'm still on the 20GB model with no HDMI, that's right, first one I bought with one warranty replacement for RROD like three years ago, and I was thinking those wireless joints might be worth the investment). sigh ... love that system, I want it back on!!

HOPE!

i forgot which site it was that shows you how to do it....

but you have to redo the thermal pasting on the heatsinks on the CPU and GPU and remove the xclamps on the back and replace them with screws and washers.....

It's supposed to be a permanent fix

So far so good...... works great

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Had that sucker since April 2007. I think the incredible heat/humidity combo in Michigan this summer in an apartment with no air did it in. I'm getting the freezing/checkerboard combo pretty frequently, which seemingly leads to the RRoD.

I was pissed when I realized the warranty was up. Especially with Halo coming out.

Biggest surprise? My girlfriend says, "fuck that, we'll just get the new one if it RRoD"

What's the best way to transfer from the old HD to the new one now? And what can I actually transfer (everything; only save files; arcade games?)

Go Wings.

Nabbed my profile and saves I care about. Left the marketplace content, which I didn't have enough space for anyway (particularly rock band stuff).

It just finished before another frozen screen. The RRoD is coming, I can feel it.
