everybody should know this...we all know that microsoft is greedy for money...and what i hear, is that they rigged all the xbox 360s with the rrod and on a timer..literally a timer, when it goes off, your xbox dies. just a rumor i heard.........
@owen20ish Why do you come to a 360 VIDEO and just say "DUUUUUUR PS3 IS BETTER"
How about this, the PS3 sucks so much hairy nuts ass that you want to tell other people that your purchase was justified. Therefore all you do is piss people off. You want other people to get screwed because you did too. Xbox 360 is better gamewise. Halo, GoW is just to name a few exclusives. Online is infinently better and orginized and more fun.
ha ha dude where you from you say phone a little fucked up man but it is all goodand also you seem kind of gay remember if it has a penis i t is not a girl
isn't the arcade a white console? I'm pretty sure I saw it in a store yesterday. I'm going to choose to remain skeptical until it is proven in time that the newer consoles have no RROD issues. The issue that causes this isn't really the chips themselves but the solder used to hold them in place. Hopefully, this problem is resolved because as it stands the failure rate is unacceptable for a consumer product. - Ray
@NewGenGamers to solve problem or prevent rrod dont play xbox as much you know wen pc's over heat tehy have a coolign system that lets tehm rocover in a matter of seconds but 360s they dont so you should only play for 1 h 30 mins
that's not true, the ps3 is the best, you cant say that the 360 is better, but i have a 360. i hate little fuckers like you who always says "ps3 sucks" "ps3 is crap"
@alcapwn411 ok.... i ment that the ps3 machine is better than the xbox machine, i know that xbox has better games and better controller and all that shit
@ownbeef "ps3 is the best"... You console fans and your fighting! They are almost same console, they have almost same hardware inside 'em, so there's no difference in effinciency in gaming (difference in FPS, graphics) at any way. Only difference is the two different communities and the controllers (which I prefer 360 controller).
Just get a PC! And if you don't like mouse/keyboard controls, just plug that controller in!
i never get a free box etc. when i got 360 back, i peeled of that see through sticker when u put cd in, and left all glue stuff behind, wasnt impressed, but shouldnt be long it it to break again.
It went as good for me as it did for you. Just as you said: "It went smooth". Exactly. It took about 5 minutes for me to get someone at Microsoft to talk with me, and I got a brand new Xbox 360 back in 2 weeks :D
welp bro i just got my first red circle...taking ur advice gonna call these peeps up see whats going on...hopefully if im lucky i'll get this pos fixed :\
Since this video was filmed...Our hero got his shiny new XBox 360 and all was well in the kingdom....A new golden age begun as he explored the depths of Liberty City in the epic Grand Theft Auto 4...Then disaster...A terrible red circle was cast upon the land once again. Games would not load, just as in the before time...Our hero now awaits his 3rd Xbox 360...Will this truly be the end of the Crimson Scourge? Or will M$ be fronting another system? Stay tuned...
I'm pretty sure that's an automatic void of warranty. In most cases, anything you would want to do, to try and "fix" your machine, that requires you to open the case up will void the warranty. They don't want you opening the case up for any reason.
i want to do the same to my 360 i am only on my fourth fucking one from them i first got the dam red lights of death than i got one back that had a durnt out light and didnt opean know i just got my 360 back and this one also had a burnt out light wtf
So UPS also collected my broken Xbox when I called Microsoft, explaining the problem. I had it back by the end of April 2007, it was also brand new. It also came with a Gold Subscriber Card, so that's cool!
I hope no one has to experience this. It's not that I didn't do anything else besides playing my 360. But it's worth it. I didn't have any problems anymore. My 360 is working perfectly.
Excellent! This is a very nice tutorial on what to do when your 360 breaks! I actually had this happen to me. I did the exactly the same thing as you. Also they do not actually fix the 360 all they do is give you a new one.
The Ring of Death is more of a blessing now than anything. If it happens to you, send it in and they will install the much needed Falcon chip, which will solve all the problems.
Check the label tag on the back of your 360, where your consoles serial code is and at some point on the label, it should say Falcon-chip, FLC-chip,F-CHP, or FLCHP.
but what about after 3 years? My electronics tend to break a couple of days after the warranty expires so it would be good to know if I should try to send it to microsoft or to the dumpster
I have mixed feelings on the whole thing. Microsoft is standing behind their product and making sure customers are satisfied. But at the same time, there are way too many failed Xbox 360s.
Hmm we never noticed, but maybe he does...or maybe he is...The guy hasn't had much work lately so I think for a couple lines and shots he'd do just about anything.
If you get the RROD a automatic 3 year warranty kicks in but any other problems, and you didnt pay a warranty when you first buy it...then it costs a lot of money but for the RROD they got you covered.
Its funny because if you get RROD you get a brand new free xbox in a week...lol

Maybe your Xbox 360 broke because you had it in an entertainment center. I'm not saying the RROD
isn't a serious problem, only that a significant
percentage of broken 360s broke because their owners didn't know that you're supposed to keep the system in an open, well-ventilated area.
