Xbox 360 reliable? - 02-08-09

YouTube - xbox360 red ring of death in mall


Yes that is an xbox 360 on display in a store. I don't think helps sales lol.

Edit: For the not so gifted people this is a joke thread.

Hm bad karma for what is obviously a joke and the thing that bothers me is that the guy given it is hiding behind the karma system. Also calling me a fanboy is a bit hypercritical since your the one who is siding with the xbox.

Yeah, I'm on my hundredth Xbox and I have a Jasper and I've only had it for a weeek!

(Come on this thread was just to say that 360's break and because of that they automatically suck. Lame.)

Is the 360 reliable? As a space heater, yes. LOL, but I once saw a 360 with the RROD at Wal Mart. I wish I had my phone that day so I could of took pictures.

=/ I've had one for over two years now and haven't had a single problem. So from my experience it's quite reliable.

At least you see this as a joke thread unlike those two fanboys before you, I mean ofcourse it's not going to work well in that little space.

it depends, older versiosions of the xbox get RRoD often, whereas newer models dont.

As Cameron said, Microsoft has pretty much fixed the problem on the newer 360's that are produced while the old ones are still prone to the RRoD. Even though your Xbox may experience this, Microsoft is pretty good at replacing/fixing your console for free. So I mean, you're not really wasting money if you buy an Xbox and it gets the RRoD. You're just missing out on a couple weeks of gaming, which I'm sure you can recover from =)

I've had my 360 Elite for over a year and haven't had any problems. I believe the Elites are yet to have any issues with the RRoD, but I could be mistaken.

Don't forget that the PS3 also has its share of issues. My roommate's PS3 recently got the yellow light and it cost him $180 CDN to fix it.
