Red Ring of Death.
 
How many of you guys have had the RROD on your 360? I just had mine repaired, and I asked the same question of many of my friends. Every last friend I have that owns a 360 has had the RROD at some point.
Is Microsoft just screwing us out of money here, or is it an honest mistake in development?
Maybe I should ask, has anyone NOT had the RROD on their 360?

I haven't had it but my 360 broke anyway.

On the flip side, I've had my PS3 since it first game out. 20 gig model. I even swapped out the hard drive myself with a Fujitsu 120 gig hard drive, too. Hasn't failed me since, not even any funny business.

I do own a 360 but it just gathers dust, mostly.

I too am one of the lucky ones. i still have my Launch 360 and its never given me any problems aside from a sticking door. I eventually retired it for the Elite, because I wanted the HDMI port, but I still use it occasionally at work and what not.

Mutated Turtle 03-09-2010 04:09 AM

the disk drive in my 360 also got stuck...i had to pull it out a little bit.and heres something funny...o.0 my 360 thought that halo:odst was a movie!...i just had to restart it and it was fine o.0

Knocking on wood but no red rings yet for me either.

I have a sticky cd tray too, all i do is to press on the cd tray like a button and then it opens. I got a red ring of death because of power serges or unstable power. But didn't send it in for repairs and it still is working fine. But i don't have XBL.

Samhain 03-09-2010 02:24 PM

Got it on my older one but since having my Elite nothing.....yet.

Ninjinister 03-09-2010 02:26 PM

Mine didn't have Red Ring of Death. It just had The Ring.

I've had like 2 but I love my 360 too much to ever get mad at it.

Now if my PS3 breaks down, I'll kick the useless thing.

ThirdMarioBro 03-09-2010 07:48 PM

I've been through seven RRoDs. #8 is alive and well for now. Sh*ttiest hardware I've ever owned. Every last one of them had a sticky CD try as well. The PS3 died on me as well, but that was more my fault from when I took it on a trip and didn't pack it well enough. No problems with the Wii, keeping Nintendo's lifelong perfect streak going in my house.

HAHAHAHA, me too. But haven't had a ring yet.

My Xbox 360 red ringed awhile back. I think it happened in 2007. It was under warranty, so I got it repaired. It's been fine since then.

It almost seems possible to call me lucky for getting the RRoD. When I got my Xbox back, the disc drive didn't work. I can't play anything but Live Arcade games, but because they renew the 90 day warranty after the RRoD I'm covered. I wish Microsoft would put some of that mad money they get from selling their systems into good hardware.
Nintendo hasn't had this sort of problem... EVER. The most problems I've ever had with any Nintendo system was having to blow in the cartridge. Guess what? It still works. Yay Nintendo.

I haven't gotten the RROD yet, but my xbox is having problems playing discs. The only game that I can play is halo 3. On the other hand, my friend just got the RROD.

My problem was similar in that all i could play was Street Fighter 4 recently. Today I bought an Xbox 360 Arcade core. What I plan on doing when I get my repaired 360 back is to sell it to a local used games/movies store and hopefully get around $150 for it, sell a wireless controller since the Arcade ed. comes with one, and come close to comping my expenses. Not to mention the 3 year warranty I get with the new 360 I bought.
