I was just playing on the Xbox 360, when, out of nowhere, I get a RROD, with a bright red light and 2 faint ones flashing. I couldn't believe it, because I was only around 6-7 days out of warranty. I was searching the internet about this, and the problem seems that in the console itself, there is two X shaped metal bits that make the Xbox work, but Microsoft used cheap glue to glue them on, so they can fall off easily. Much less pay £100+ to get it fixed, I bought a DIY kit, which has yet to arrive because of the snow here in the UK. So now my Xbox is in pieces, ready to be repaired when the kit is delivered.
Yeah, I've never really trusted Microsoft whiners like you about that because between 3 360s I've never had a problem with RROD.
I've had RROD. Not really sure of the cause though. But yes I agree with Xzenoo, plenty of my other friends have had problems with it, and statistically it is the least reliable of all the major consoles.
I also consider eighty bucks way too much. The problem is so prevalent that they are effectively increasing the price. The warranty should be free.
Agreed, Micro$oft should not expect such loyalty from customers it routinely screws over with shoddy workmanship.
My 360 failed, sent it in, 1 week later got it back, woohoo I love microsoft... Why dont you use gorilla glue to paste the clamps back together if you think they used cheap glue?

That won't work, because the x-clamps aren't even glued on.

In context, the statement means that I've never trusted whiners who think Microsoft deliberately cut corners to make more money. Out of context, it means exactly what you replied to. You know it's bad to take statements out of context -_-
i guess i'm just lucky, but I've had my xbox 360 pro for over 3 years, and i've never had a single problem with it, and i play atleast 2 hours a day, more on the weekends
