Xbox 360 Farewell - Red Ring of Death (RROD)

On February 15th, tragedy struck as my beloved Xbox 360 fell victim to the Red Ring of Death (RROD).

The purpose of this video is not to bash Microsoft. I primarily made this to brush up on my video editing. Still, I love my 360, and I look forward to the arrival of my replacement console. In fact, I have been quite impressed by Microsoft's devotion in providing replacement consoles in what must have been a substantial allocation of resources.

However, the fact of the matter is that these consoles were hastily pushed through the design/testing phase of development to meet marketing goals and Microsoft has yet to produce a stable and reliable motherboard.

I took exceptional care of my system. As you can see it's sitting out in the open on a cool tile floor (not on carpet or in an enclosed space).

Microsoft has announced plans to release a new motherboard with a new 65nm GPU alongside the recently-added 65nm CPU. Let's hope they finally fix the RROD issue once and for all.

On a side note, when I dropped my return box off at UPS, the clerk instantly recognized the packaging and said that they get 3-4 return drop-offs a day...

I like this video! But it is not a design flaw! Microsoft blamed it on a design flaw because they did not want to be liable for putting the warranty seal on the out side of the case and not giving any means of performing proper maintenance that would have allowed your Xbox 360s to live an average of 7 to 10 years learn the truth on my channel.
