XBox 360 Red Ring of Death
Posted by insanity5902 | Filed Under: General
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 :/
