The RROD will never truly go away for what I've read.

M$ knew about this problem even before they started shipping out the XBOX to costumers, and now have have even set aside more than $1 billion just to cater to affected costumers.

To me that looks like typical MS: Patch the problem instead of fixing it for good.

ChinoCharles · 01-05-2009, 11:26 PM

I know what it stands for. What is it?

jinxor · 01-05-2009, 11:28 PM

I guess MS is plagued with deaths,
Blue Screen of Death
Red Ring of Death
Next would be something like EOD - Everything of death....

kou · 01-05-2009, 11:29 PM

ChinoCharles · 01-05-2009, 11:30 PM

Happened to my during a power failure once, had to ship it to the USA to fix. You know what I did? I bought a new one, f that.

We got our 360 fixed by a third party in less than a week for about $80 including shipping. Totally worth it NOT to go to MicroSoft.

rningonfumes · 01-06-2009, 02:32 AM

That's why I don't see you on? Sorry to hear that man.

PetersRedYaris · 01-06-2009, 02:56 AM

LOL, I saw the title and thought you had ring worm...

LtNoogie · 01-06-2009, 03:17 AM

And here I was trying to decide between an Xbox 360 or a PS3. The problem with the PS3 is the $399 price. I could get two R comp tires for that!

Phaeton · 01-06-2009, 05:48 AM

The new 360 is supposed to have a bigger fan on the chipset.
From what I've been told by a old highschool buddy on the Xbox dev team, The damn thing just overheats and fries components. I took my case apart and cut a hole with a holesaw then attached a $5dollar pc fan in the slot. Haven't had a any problems in 8 months.
