XBox 360 Red Ring of Death
Yep, the title pretty tells the story. I’m getting the damn RRoD of on system, I have it just short of 1 year and it is crapped out, freezing in the middle of play. I’m getting the general hardware failure lights, which luckily MS has extended the warranty for this failure out to 3 years. I am not sure if this is lucky or not, b/c of the extreme number of problems they have been having. Some people are speculating that the numbers are over 30%, but with some of the newer development on the 360′s the number has dropped to 10%, that is still a hell of a lot.
Oh well though, I signed up to http://service.xbox.com and had a service repair registered. They are shipping the the box and information to ship it back, they are paying for everything. I’ve read they say 2 – 3 weeks for a replacement, but some have reported getting one back within 10 days of the day they started the process.
It’s going to suck the next 3 weeks with no Madden :/
I’m proud of ya’ll for working it out and not making the same mistakes mom and dad made. Love you bubba! Can’t wait to see you next weekend!
Proud of you guys for getting it under control early. You’ll be so glad you did whenever you buy the house and get all settled. I would say I’m living proof a working budget is possible, but then again, I’ve only had $10 for food for the past two weeks!
Well I’ve been searching for some xbox360 insight on the internet for a number of days as my xbox has stopped working. I have not had the red ring of death but it appears to freeze at crucial moments. I do not know whether I have a problem other people have or whether I have a limited issue all of my own, I trust not. At any rate thank you for the info.
