GDC 2008: Microsoft's own Xbox 360 console gets RROD

[TheM3RKzZ]

Haha owned by ur own creation

[STOPNSWOPguy]

LOL Microsoft Fail!

[jimmyvu1234]

Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you. Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00 pm tomorrow, it could be anywhere on IM or email, outside of school, anywhere! Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. If you break this chain letter you will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years. If you post this to 15 pages in 15 minutes, you’re safe

[Rane909]

i refuse to buy another xbox (two RROD's is enough) and i'm refusing to buy a PS3 only because i loved all FOUR (yes 4) of my PS2's, none of which are still working because sony uses extremely cheap laser diodes. so, the alternative? a modded Wii that can play everything from Saturn and Dreamcast games as well as just about Every ROM i throw at it and PS1/PS2 games flawlessly. sorry to the rest of the bunch, Nintendo builds TANKS when it comes to consoles (has YOUR GC or SNES or even NES died ?

[TripDaRipper]

@Rane909 not only that but i dont remember nintendo having a crash suchas rrod or ylod, other than the ds's yellow creen of death

[Rane909]

@TripDaRipper haha! amen to that, and the yellow screen only happended if you inserted a card halfway

[TripDaRipper]

@Rane909 yup lol

[spartan001191]

i love when ps3 fanboys go on xbox video cuz there consoles must be shit if there so bored to go on other vids and talk trash, also it can be a power problem too if you read the xbox booklet that came with it. PS i have a ps3

[gunbojason]

another one microsoft shame

[IceKoldKilla1992]

haahahahahahhaa

[museapex]

Hahaha well i styill hate sony cus i got the YLOD

[KiLeTheKiLLa]

@museapex What is this "YLOD" ?

[museapex]

@KiLeTheKiLLa its short for the Yellow light of death of the PS3 console. Type Ylod in the video search and heaps of vids will come up

[KiLeTheKiLLa]

@museapex Thx :D

[produner1]

i have both xbox and ps3 and my xbox is banned and it has rrod.

xbox 360 is the worst console in the history of gaming its overrated and the ps3 is overrated too they both suck and the game developers are all becoming money hunger and greedy stupid companies all what they think is releasing a first person shooter game and it will be succefull.

i will sue microsuck if they released there natal version of xbox before fixing 360 problems

[Computergeew]

@produner1 You cant sue because they suck. You didnt even tried it yet, PS3 fanboy.

[produner1]

@Computergeew

i prefer the xbox over the ps3 dont get me wrong i only got my ps3 for online and some exclusive games like mgs4 and ratchet and clank games also i have like70 xbox copy games that cost me the same as 9 ps3 original games so xbox>ps3

[brendude95]

@produner1

Agreed...PS3 is the best of a bad bunch though imo...

Dreamcast FTW...dont worry...IGN rated XBOX 3rd or something in the greatest consoles of all time...shows what Halo loving 360 hugging brainless fucking Americans know...they dont know "gaming"

[linkinparkteen]

... We is for Fat people that cant jog for 2 miles/10 minutes a day. ;) just throwing that out there.

[KRZR24rat]

Still the better system pc is dyin and xbox took sales lead from wii...ahh where's ps3? Lol still I miss ratchet and clank but xbox live better...it's just to fun but for example the best ps3 player in MW2 is considered bad on xbox people to good at cod in that game loo

[highlylo]

wii is the best selling console , no the pc is alieve and a more popular area than any of the consoles and about 1/3 of 360 owners deserted for ps3, and the best or worst player is not really considered either , theyre on two seperate consoles

your making way to many incorrect guesses

ps i dot think the 360 IS the better system thats your opinion , i hope you have solid evidence to back it up

[KRZR24rat]

ya check microsofts charts or console charts on sum website...its true and ya idc wat u say cuz the wii isnt the top pc is dyin and the ps3 well....really dude lol

[TheLololol111]

LOL THE PS3 is the top SELLING console right now, and has been for 4 months.

[KRZR24rat]

ya u got me there but i said pc gaming was dying well no its growing and now its the top selling and wont be beat

[denzelsco]

Thats old,get an elite!

i play it all day only gets alittle warm not even as hot as my laptop, its worth it because of all the good games an live is awsome, you would be a fool to pick a ps3 over a xbox 360 an i have both but preferably stay on xbox more

[spooks916]

lol fuck that sucks for them

but still 360 best console out ps3 piece of doo doo

pc awesome if you got the money for a $1000 gaming computer

[k4ba]

360 <- piece of trash + waste of money

ps3 <- waste of money

wii <-boring, exept mario kart

PC <- perfect! =)... always better

[hipmaster666]

There all have different standards for different people but...

FUCK EM ALL PC RULEZ!

[AwsomnessStudios]

just becaus all of the 360 fanboys never played ps3 doesnt mean you can critisize it ;) so plz play uncharted2 or little big planet or metal gear solid4 or killzone2 or infamous then you can critisize ...PS3 = fun games and some fps 360= all fps's oh yeah and banjo kazoee

[kyle7566]

i got to say i love little big planet, even tho im a 360 fan.

[bullettoothuba]

well after a few years now i feel like buying a ps3 they now have a good about of games to chose from i dont know about the ps3 slim i hear alot of bad comments about it so i might wait a while till sony fixes it

[itzme10]

i love and have only a 360, but little big planet looks SO FUN!! or uncharted 2. i bash on the ps3 sometimes, but im only kidding.

man, i miss playing ratchet and clank, jak, GOD OF WAR, and some other addicting games on my modded ps2. those were the days...

[Anderw12345]

I can't stand little big planet, it's so pointless lol. Hours of wasted time for little kids.

I got the RROD and yeah im not too fond of the 360 right now. Even though, I still think its better because of Live. PS3 is still awesome though due to the only really good driving sim, Gran Turismo.

Though Modern Warfare 2 is way to easy on PS3. Everyone has no skill compared to the people on 360. I like the 360's controller too. It feels better, no cramped hands at all. When i feel like being a nerd

[Bulldozar1]

@Anderw12345 ergonomics :D

[itinkgirlzhot12]

ps3 is kinda better but compare by sales xbox 360 is winning but some how overall we getting our ass kicked by the wii in sales idk how the piece of shit is but it is lol

[Anderw12345]

4 words.

Wii Fit.

Fat Girls.

Not trying to be mean here, it's the truth. The fact that they are selling all the games as excercise is what is winning them sales. That and the army of dumb little kids here in North america.

[Animefreak1325]

Roflmao

[zdzdzdzdzdzdz]

Owned

[rexraptor5000]

aloo head

[amari2001]

it has ring because its the power strip.I thought it has to have 4 rings and that means its damaged.

[irulethe70s]

thats why PS3 is more popular

[Lewis080]

not an excuss for them having shit games ?

[rexraptor5000]

lol p3 games are for people who can handle good games i guess u will enjoy playing ur crappy nerdy halo

[Anderw12345]

LOL

Halo is pretty crappy ill admit.

But go play MW2 on ps3 then 360.

The people that play ps3 are horrible at MW2.

[mupet00000]

Just to let ya know, sales wise, it isn't more popular.

[rexraptor5000]

ur mum is shit

[hokagealex]

only for 60gb they dont sell that version anymore

[Rko180]

The PS3 is still a far more reliable console than the 360. The PS3 is not invincible obviously, but the 360 is an embarrassment in terms of hardware capabilities.

and no, I'm not going to lick ur hairy anal "buscuits" though you seem to like the idea of another guy doing that. Leave your homosexual urges out of gaming videos please

[kyle7566]

stop trolling.

[audiosane]

What if Microsoft made an Xbox 360 laptop with built-in wireless capabilities to connect to Xbox Live and the Internet in general?

[toolslave]

Dude! They did this on purpose. Microsoft just wanted to demonstrate the fact that you will most likely get the red ring of death. They wanted non 360 owners to know what it's like firsthand. Way to go Microsoft.

[drphilmcshizzle]

you are so obviously in denial to make up retarded excuse like that

[BatDude27]

yup someone messed with it the kiosk ones are invincible to rrod unless u mess with it it will have a temprary rrod!

[mf6796]

its not sad they leave them on in a closed space all day

[hellzhamster]

Thats just plain sad

[HelghanFury]

Oh i love this vid so much

[wiismellbad]

yer suck on that gates

[ZombieFlames]

Lol

[meccmax125]

lol

[commando137]

it happend to me 2 times but now its been workin for 2 years with nothing wrong

they fix it good and i didnt have to pay

[metalgear31907]

lmfao

[VooDooShamane]

hahaha love this vid.

thank's

[TerrapinProphet]

haha ps3 sucks BALLS

[koolkidd122]

you must be retarted to say that

[JSEProduction]

Lol not the first time i have seen that.I see that on stores and on many conferences and stuff.

[yellowcorba1]

omg!!! me to i had a power outage and my 360 showed red ring of death but worked fine after that.

[arkantos980]

I was playing on my xbox on the Red Ring of Death appeared on it...Good thing i just had a power outage

[romoequip]

The Xbox 360 is probably the greatest console on the market right now. Not just because of Halo 3 and Gears of War, bt because it offers the most choice in gaming plus great graphics, maybe not as good AS the Playstation 3, but definately very good for a console released in 2005.

[Mi5tAMi5tA]

Ay man!

Microsoft is still losing money on the xbox360 and if you go in the store to buy xbox games you will find the selection of games for PS3 and Wii is way bigger than the xbox-section!

Still Halo 3 was AWESOME!

[Games5522]

In the comments section: People who only look in sections of their favourite consoles to make themselves think their point is correct.

^_^ *has none of the current-gen consoles*

[Mrmarlboro]

why you sound like advertiser?you want a job go to microsofts forums and write that......the bottom line is that YOU CANT PLAY THE GAMES CAUSE THAT PIECE OF PLASTIC GETS FRIED!!!!!!!

[sisoymolesto]

Info: NOTE: This is NOT me in the video!

[irulethe70s]

im never supporgting 360 because PS3 will win

[Aqualeader5]

How embarrassing

[killthemoonmen]

ps3, xbox who really cares it comes downs to personal choice

[Charles2337]

Dumb ass ps3 fans. The Xbox got RROD because display consoles stay on the entire day. Plus the compartment it was in probably heated it up so much, causing Red ring.

[SpraxIAKS]

Yet notice no such thing happened to the PS3's up there that were on for the same duration.

Refrain from posting till you can prove you aren't an idiot.

[Charles2337]

I admit the Xbox has some design flaws. The CPU and GPU are on the same motherboard all crammed together cooled by 2 small fans. That's gonna cause a load of problems.

PS3 does have a bettter design. But the newer Xbox's solved this problem by using a new GPU and CPU that uses less power, therefore less heat. Xbox was rushed thats why it had so many problems. Right now, it's the best console.

[SpraxIAKS]

No it is not.

[AdamWill59]

ya it is besides nobody has the PS3

[SpraxIAKS]

^

Don't remember you being apart of that old conversation and with a joke of a statement like that, why did you even join in?

[jonlscott]

ps3 is undoubtably the best, but its so damn expensive

[10Gr1fterbang]

put on

[wildthing986]

embarrassing? thats funny shit shows how lame microsoft is to the word and those ppl werent playing the 360 they were looking at it saying damn bill gates sucks

[KangarooMoss]

Suck shit. serves them right

[azazel166]

it's completely surrounded by glass just imagine how the heat inside goes realy up.

[XmarlonXPT]

hahahaahhaha...xbox is sooo shit....hahahaha

i feel sorry for xboxers hahaahhahaha

[WoodyW123]

hahAHAHAHAHA YELLOW LED OR LIGHT OF DEAD ITS RISING SEARCH IT PS3 FANBOY HGAhahahahahahahahaha PS3 EPIC FAIL FOR EVER!

[Garzoyle]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH..XBOX IS SO GOOD PEOPLE STILL BUY IT KNOWING IT HAS A CHANCE OF RROD.....PS3 DOESNT HAVE THAT NOW DO THEY FUCKTARD!! well ps3 does have littlebigworld, yay lets play a exclusive that looks like it was designed for a 5 year old woot!!

[WhiteTigerSprings58]

Such wisdom has enlightened me...

[sargentjaskaran]

LOL NXERROD

[a7ebak17]

I wasted my money on bad console like 360

shame on you microsoft

[shehryar981]

I sold my xbox360 after it got the RROD to this nerd in gamestop asking for his Nintendo DS

[llpalm08]

ive had the 3 lights but it was just because the av/hd cable werent in properly so that might be why it had it. my ps3 has has 2 malfunctions and my 360 has had none.

[CSplayahata]

360 is still shit quality. I have an xbox 360 elite for 1 year and the fans in the backed stopped working it was the 90nm chips with the new heatsink and it still broke, no reliability on Microsoft consoles

[marfg12345]

@llpalm08 i call bullshit

[marfg12345]

@llpalm08 im not talking about xbox

im talking about ps3, bullshit

xbox sucks dick

[marfg12345]

@llpalm08 it's hard to believe you got 2 lod's when a chance of it is 0.7%

i believe that you got rrod because the chance of that is 37%

[llpalm08]

@marfg12345 It was the same console and it was only one lod, the other malfunction was where it just wouldnt read disks, then that got fixed and a coupple of months later it got lod. Ive also realised i was responding like a plank on my previous replys so ive removed them and I appologise for that.

[BrendanWPK]

i like men and sam fryza and jade diltz

[Miauw888]

lol ironi

[xbox360rubbish]

shows you exactly what your paying for!

[cod2ribbit]

ha i just got rrod today but this vidio has just made my day how do you like it microsoft fix the problem

[SergeantPope]

Microsoft hasnt fixed the problem. Ive had 6 break on me this summer. And the majority of those broken ones were the 65 nanochipset HDMI xboxs. All my friends say i "abuse" them but i dont they just suck. The games rule though. And xbox live is a million years ahead of home which sucks ASS!!! What do you want a dependable console that sucks or a console that has great games but will last a few months... or with me a few days?

[WoodyW123]

YEAH BULLSIHT!

[Steamingboy]

damn thats suck ass with 3 rings of death

[TheUnknown001]

If i were to put a ps3 in where that 360 would be at. I could tell that the ps3 would not over heat. Simply b/c u get ur moneys worth.

[bign3ck]

any console will fail if you bottle it up in a plastic case , how can it breathe in that? my 360 has lasted two years an independant normal desk fan blowing on the INLET port and slightly aiming at the outlet too, its never gets hot, try it and see, DO NOT BUY FANS THAT STICK TO THE 360 AND RUN OFF ITS POWER, YOU MAKE IT EVEN HOTTER.

[AllStarDeal79]

then why haven't the ps3 and wii failed on display ?

[Dragonfire131009]

Well done, they deserve to know what it feels like.

[Mustangfool]

lmao, i work at a gamestop and weve gone through like 3 of them due to the red rings...lmao

[summerschoolgrad]

ahahahahahahahahhahahaahahahah­ah

i just suferd rrod but that is so funny

[t3trojans]

its tru about the heat. I have an xbox 360 i kept the back fan where all the plugs were as near to a wall as i could and it messed the picture up. I recomend to buy one of those accesory fans

[jams907]

haha that is embarrasing, they cant even make one "good" for the fucking demonstration, for that i think it prooves that they need to do sum work, 'just got red ring 2 days ago so i'm still pissed'

[Ugnah164]

HAHAHAHAHA

[gigimf]

Thats because its in an very confined space, so the heat has no where to go. I work at target and we've gone through 2 ps3 floor models since we opened late last year just becuse they are constantly running and in such a confined space.

[diddykongfu]

heat sig will fuck up anything with an inadequate heat foil

[rumledumper]

i think im gonna get an xbox so i can spend more time sending shit in instead of gaming on my ps3 and as much fun as it sounds all this game playing is getting in the way of my life haha stupid fucking microsoft

[akbartoronto]

xbox is bad ok that is it so fuck poeple that say it is good

[ThumbWarDestroyer]

it's not a big deal. Hardware breaks. I have had both systems, and regardless of RROD the 360 deserves most of my play time because the games and online quality are just plain better.

[TMZ779]

i no

[PalZer0]

LOL @ MS when they can't even stop one of their own demo consoles from getting RROD.

[AmericanPyro]

I've never had a problem with my 360 personally, and it runs like a gazelle still.

[TMZ779]

same

[diddykongfu]

your lucky ive been threw 3 lol got a ps3 now to just waiting for fable 2 then off to gamestop my shit box goes lol

[poolehart]

Only one of em got the RRoD? Weird.

[rodulforo]

its kinda like a joke dude...

[rodulforo]

maibe the xbox 360 overheat because they put it in close space and shit xD

[carboy66]

ouch

[eusebio232]

hahahahahaah what a fuking retard hahahahahahahahahha LMFAO IT IS EMBERASSING M$ SUCKS

[gkfhjfgbfdjbglh]

i agree with you there.

[gumgum99]

LOL

[DawidPL08]

buahahahahahahahahhahahaha

[nitsed]

this is sad :(

[BrIcCo707PiNoY]

OH yah and ps3 does not have

VIBRATION ;]

[eusebio232]

hahahahahah RROD I BET THIS HAPENED TO YOUR HEATING UNIT I MEAN XBOX 3FIXME

[diddykongfu]

yea it does dualshock 3 and controller shacking lol dun matter

[gkfhjfgbfdjbglh]

Frankly, everyone should just STFU and go back to their favourite system and let everyone choose the one thats right for them. But because you people cant be big men and let that happen you have to bully weaker people into believing their thoughts are are false. thats called Dicatorship. if you dont know what that is, get the heck off the internet and read a friggin book. I must say though i respect your ability to convey an argument without random swearing and random discussion of penis size.

[Death2Evil]

I do not make an argument unless one is started with me, and all I do is prove that the PS3 gives you "more bang for your buck," that it has plenty of good games, and that it has better hardware.

These thoughts are false...

"PS3 is overpriced."

"PS3 has no games."

"PS3 sucks."

[eusebio232]

hhhahahahahah RROD FUKING NOOOB GO PLAY WITH YOUR XBOX ITS GOING TO BE A LONG WINTER HAHAHAH

[gkfhjfgbfdjbglh]

my xbox hasn't died and i have had it for 2 years. my friends PS3's broke on him 3 times.

[eusebio232]

i dont think so its the other way around

[gkfhjfgbfdjbglh]

noits not. his ps3's gave him 3 beep death 3 times now hes on his 4th and its not reading discs properly.

[XxKittyCat201xX]

Thats so much bs spit out or you just meant the opposite way?

[gkfhjfgbfdjbglh]

We do not need to be equal to the ps3 cuz if we did what we'd do is get rid of our library of successful games, make Xbox live cumbersome and not worth it, make a huge ass system the quite frankly looks ugly as hell, and basically make the same damn system over and over and over again (i.e.:controller) and have the same stupid problems (not like the 360 is devoid of any though, to be honest) aswell.

[Death2Evil]

You are now using opinions instead of facts.

A consoles appearance is a matter of opinion, and I've loved that controller for over ten years. Using the same controller doesn't make the system the same. It gets better every time.

Both have good games. The PS3 just happens to have better hardware and more features.

one million plus one, me as of last night

[Danzooo15]

it could just not be plugged in properly but someone has turned it on...that makes the rings flash red to warn you that its not connected properly...it doesnt always mean that its 'dead'...

[XewgX]

not being plugged in right is all 4 segments flashing hardware failure is 3

[DreadRaptor85]

Imagine if Bill Gates was there talking about quality assurance and that shit happened on TV. That would funny.

That happened to that speaker thing with Vista.

[HaloVideosRUs]

Gates doesn't really run it anymore.

He practically left.

[unearthrul35]

yeah, bill gates left ms now apparently

[Arbiter4285]

wow, one in about 200 there, theres got to be a broken wii and PS3 there too, the probs are almost completly fixed, the rrod is jst a sign to say that it is broken, ppl only care cause it has a sign when the Wii and PS3 just break with no warning, the only sign is when the things wont turn on, Im sick of this crap getting warbed by the media

[Synthweasel]

I know people that have the 360 and PS3!! they all say 360 is the one to go for! so I bought a 360 and have not regret this!! on-line support is cool! but PS3?? on-line? is shit

[Synthweasel]

Maybe Microsoft are being honest :) you can get an xbox that works! or the special RROD edition :)

[commando2413]

ahahahaha

[deathvid4fun]

lol yeah that suck it happen to my last console but the good thing is the warranty for 3 years people with microsoft
