I'm glad it's happened to me. My friends have been getting it one by one and it's finally done with. Not to mention it's before Reach so I'll have NOTHING to worry about during the beta or the actual game. What about you guys, who here is relieved about having gone through the terror already? Who is still hiding under their bedsheets?

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

It's a pain in the ass, but it's all amended for when you get it back in prime condition.

My console has had the red ring since June, the reason I didn't fix it was because my mother was -blam!-ing that she would have to pay alot of money and now after calling my father, he's gonna come tomorrow so we could call Microsoft and finally get this thing shipped out for repairs.

Finally, my mother was there telling me in June that I had to wait until Christmas to get another xbox 360, -blam!- Christmas!!!

The light on the AC Adapter has once gone red but not the Xbox. I also think you have the wrong forum.

-I was here

mine already went bad and came back so i'm safe... all i gotta worry about is my brother stealing the xbox and putting it back in his room so he can steal and play the games i paid for with my own money :(

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Ummm, wait what? How does getting it once stop you from getting it again? It's like looking at some statistics that say, "on average each person will get mugged atleast once in their lifetime".

If you are walking on the streets at 1 in the morning in the bad part of town you are going to get mugged more then other people.

Poor analogy is poor, I know. But what I am trying to say is it doesn't matter if you have had red-ring before, if you treat your Xbox poorly you will get red-ring again.

If you have had red-ring, you have probably treated your Xbox poorly.

That's true, but I was just booting up Halo just like any of the other umpteenth-million times and it went kablooey on me. :/

Your problem is within your statement.

If you have had red-ring, you have probably treated your Xbox poorly.
the red rings were caused by a manufacturing fault because the exhaust fans or what ever were to close to the circuit boards and the heat made them warp. when you send your xbox in, they fixed the internal hardware so that it was more spaced out and they most likely installed more efficient cooling systems. therefore, the only way you would get them again is if you set your thermostat to 100 degrees, put your xbox in a small, unventilated area, and left it running for 2 weeks straight without ever turning your ceiling fan/ oscillating fan/ portable air-conditioner on, causing your console to have a nuclear melt down.

I actually bought the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360 a few years ago and I have yet to have any kind of problem. Coincidence?

  • 11.14.2009 1:56 PM PDT

...ICWATYOUDIDTHAR.

In all seriousness, aren't consoles supposed to be built for gaming though? And I did exaggerate but how else am I gonna play Halo if I want to play Halo? Twiddle my thumbs and use my IMAGINAAAAATION?

  • 11.14.2009 1:58 PM PDT

Probably not, it was likely manufactured later so it didn't have the fault the other ones have. Is that the Master Chief colored one? That thing is epic.

  • 11.14.2009 2:01 PM PDT

Stop destroying the environment,get of that computer and go into your backyard and build a nuclear powerplant...

:)

Its well known that EVERY Xbox 360 will brake however after sending it of it should no longer brake, they found a fault in the system and the newly made Xboxs have a lower chance of getting the red rings of death because they did there best to fix the fault. (that's what i heard)

Well, you don't have to play as much. If you are playing to the point where your Xbox overheats, well then that is your problem and you will get red-ringed. My friend has one of the original Xboxes, he has been playing it for 3-4 years now and has had no problems.

I boot it up a lot, but I don't play for TOO long. I usually play for about 2-3 hours a weekday, and I'm usually playing at a friends house on the weekends. That doesn't sound too unreasonable does it?

@XZIBIT: Ouch, that must have have sucked! I skipped classes to get my hands on ODST, I would have been pissed.

Can the Elite get RRoD? Because all of my friends who have the Premium have gotten it, but the four others who have the Elite, including myself, have not.

Hmm...

All I am saying is everyone here can avoid being red-ringed if they take care of their Xbox. It isn't hard. My friend has done it, I have done it. It isn't hard and it is possible to never get red-ringed.
