Fish, is it possible to make a unified 360 Rings of Death thread to be a sticky?

Guess I am one of the lucky ones. My launch 360 is played nearly everday and not one problem. Go figure.

I had a premium that was broke from the start, it'd freeze all the time. I swapped it with a core (thank you walmart!) and haven't had much of a problem except for DDE errors on Madden and CHoops..

Re: Unmother****ing believable ( 360 )

I've had the Ring Of Death three or four times ....

Still on my first 360, though. None have 'stuck" - I just hit it with some compressed air, and it's good to go.

Did you just spray the vents with the compressed air or did you open up the system and spray it?

Maybe that's what Microsoft is doing as well, lol.

Re: Unbelievable ( 360 )

I just got my 360 in september, and it froze playing hitman blood money yesterday. this was a first time freeze. I turned off the game, and turned the console back on about 5 minutes later expecting to see the 3 rings of death, but to my surprise it has worked fine so far.
how much life does it have left??

My launch system locked up for the first time last week playing NFSC online. It locked hard at the dashboard when I was trying to look up one of the racers to send him a message. It didn't even list any of the gamertag pics or nothing. I had to turn it off and back on.

I was expecting the three red rings of death but to my surprise it was fine. I may try Fossen's technique if it ever produces the three red rings.

Re: Unbelievable ( 360 )

I just dont know what to do anymore. I have a major investment in the 360 as I own 2 360s and 33 games. I very much enjoy my 360...when it works.

However I cant justify to myself spening 1 more dollar on this system and any of its games.

Gaming is my hobby, and the 360 is the best next gen system out there. I already own a Wii and a PS3. I enjoy the Wii just for the Wii sports and gamecube party games. The ps3 is nothing more than an expensive 360 with less than steller games.

Guess its time to find a new hobby until these problems can be corrected. I feel its unethical that MS can get away with the vast quantity of systems that are bricking. They should research the problem and fix it, they have had plenty of time to isolate the problem, but obviously dont care about it enough to fix it.

Re: Unbelievable ( 360 )

i've had mine lockup or freeze, call it what you will but it still works fine, i bought in dec of 05 so my warranty is off, not sure what i would do if it quits fix or buy a ps3, maybe both lol.

ps: whats a core system worth compared to fixing a premium and would my hd work in another xbox360.

Yes, your HDD would work on a Core.

Call MS and curse them out. Then say you're going to buy a ps3. Maybe they will send you a new one or at least do something for your furstration.
