It was the Halo 3 LE Edition Xbox 360, aged 5 years old.

So, how old was your first Xbox before it succumbed to the Red Ring of Death and/ or how many 360s did you go through because of this?

4 years old, Halo 3 LE Edition Xbox 360.

Only 5 years? How lame

13.72 billion years in the making.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

I bought a model from 2009 (Which was also my first Xbox, actually), and it's still holding up just fine.

It's Pokémon, not Pokemon!

I have had my Xbox for four years and still no RRoD.

EDIT: It is my first Xbox.

-I was here

I had the elite I got in '07. Red Ringed Circa 2009, then repaired on warranty. Problem never happened again.

Either that's sarcasm or you don't realize how long the typical life a 360 is.

Not in the mood for babybull-blam!-, and it's not because of this. This just adds on to it.

Four years old. I'm hoping it'll last until the next generation comes.

No sarcasm, I do understand

I'm just saying it's lame that 360's do this in the first place

Yea, well, Micro$oft has been known to -blam!- over customers on various occasions.

Had my Halo 3 Special Edition for 4 years. 1 RRoD and repair later, the dvd drive stoped reading.

So we got a refurb slim. I haven't touched it since I beat Halo 4 in November...

I'm still on my first one from Christmas of 2006. Only problem I had was overheating but all I had to do was move to a cooler room.

  • 01.04.2013 11:36 PM PDT

I currently have a Slim model that works great, and a 360 Arcade model I got back in 2009, it has the Jasper chip-set in it which is suppose to have a lower failure rate compared to the previous models, and still works fine. My very first 360 lasted just under a year when succumed to RROD.

  • 01.04.2013 11:38 PM PDT

I still have mine from 2007.....



I've never had any red rings either.




it must have been.......magic

Yep. I remember with the original Xbox, the wires wouldn't work. So we tried calling in. Put us on hold 3 times before we finally got an answer. The guy on the phone told me to just buy a new one (entire console) and save us the trouble (What?).

Long behold, in the local Best Buy, we found the wires being sold separately. Why the -blam!- would I want to pay for an entirely new console when I could just get the damned wires in a store?

  • 01.04.2013 11:41 PM PDT

hasn't yet.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

My original Xbox I bought in Christmas of 2008 has lasted me until now, through 40C heat waves, power surges, storms and other typical Australian weather.

  • 01.04.2013 11:43 PM PDT

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

I had an Xbox back in 07 and it broke in 10, and decided to buy a slim. And been using that one since.

I am on my FOURTH Xbox 360. It has been a very bumpy and aggravating ride.

Rational response.

Anyways, I suppose I'm gonna go to bed soon. This isn't the first thing that's gone wrong recently and surely not the last.
