So yesterday I figure that I'll reward myself after having posted what I thought was a cute little bit about Scaredy Squirrel on my site, I head to the man-cave to continue my long-since-last-played Modern Warfare campaign on the 360.
No joke, less than 2 minutes in, it locks up on me and I get the RROD immediately thereafter. This is almost exactly 50 weeks since receiving the replacement console after sending in my first deceased 360. If I'm lucky I get to play for an hour a week, and lately I've often gone two to three weeks without playing at all. I could almost understand it, even almost accept it, if I'd worn the damn thing out, but seriously... Right peeved. ![]() |

The drama will only continue... I'm on my 6th xbox 360 now! I feel your pain!
Call MS and ask to speak to a resolution specialist since this is a multiple failure for you. Tell them you want some concessions for the trouble. They'll offer you some crappy 4 year old games.. ask what else they have. You can get a wireless controller, vision cam, ect. Next time I'm asking for a freaking wireless N adapter. Oh yeah, don't forget to ask for overnight shipping (although they typically reserve this for 3rd or greater repairs.

Wow. Are these XBOX 360 problems common? Glad I went with the PS3.

PS3 has it's problem too, but yes it is pretty common. I am on my third 360 as well (in 4.5 years).

Early units are suspect for RROD problems, and replacements are refurb units (eg early units repaired). My bro's first gen 360 RROD'd, I fixed it and gave it away (bitch to open without warping some of the plastic with a flathead). The new one he bought has been flawless, and it is a MUCH quieter unit. I still think these consoles are pressing the limits of heat dissipation in such a small box. There's a reason why PC gear has such extravagant cooling options. |
