Did you ever encounter the Red Ring of Death?
The Red Ring of Death meant your Xbox 360 had a serious issue. Different light patterns meant different issues. I remember turning on my 360 one morning only to see it light up red...[b]Have you ever encountered the Red Ring of Death? If so, do you have a story to go with it?[/b]
[spoiler][b]Edit1:[/b] Seems that some people had it Red Ring on them really early after purchase. The OG 360s had a lifetime but they weren't that short. The users probably had something to do with its death.[/spoiler]
Thank you for your time.

2 RepliesYes. As soon as I went to trade the -blam!-ing thing in LMAO. I knew it was on its last legs, so I played it for one last time in the morning, took it to gamestation and it broke down in front of us, bastard thing! They must have felt bad for me because they gave me a very good price for the HDD (as in 75% of its RRP)

1 ReplyYes. I bought one of the cooling fans, turns out the extra power to run it burns out certain chips.

1 ReplyDoes it overheating after 6 years count? Didn't get 3 flashing rings but just 1 single ring

I came back from a vacation once, boom, red ring.

1 Replywho else experienced the red screen of death on the ps2, now that shit was scary [spoiler]it meant all your data was corrupt[/spoiler]

Had 3 Xbox's with the red death, each time at the end of the warranty, I would send it in, and they would extend my warranty for each year. I thought that was pretty cool. Finally gave up on it after years, and the Slims release.

1 ReplyI wonder how many launch day Xbox 360's are still functional? I had heard a statistic a number of years ago that 60% had failed.
-
Yes, twice. But I just reset my Xbox 360 each time and it was perfectly fine.
-
Yeah several, four at least. That was on the very first version though, then we got the arcade version, still have it and it still works. Although I don't play it much anymore.
-
Had an original Elite that eventually got the rrod. Thankfully (or unfortunately) it was a hard drive error. Just had to get a new one and it was fixed. Lost a ton of save data, but I got over it.

Twice

I like how you blame users. I put my phat PS3 through more rigorous gaming sessions than any of my 360s and it still works perfectly fine. I treated my 360s like royalty: limited gaming sessions, kept in a well ventilated area, and kept the vents free of dust buildup constantly. Still had them red ring because MS was more worried about getting a console on the market than the actual quality of said console.

Twice, one on the families (They kept it in a closed space), and another on My personal console. It happens when you do a 24 hour session in Fallout 3.
-
I sent in my 360 twice because of the RROD. After the second time they just sent me a new unit and I never had another problem that couldn't be solved by turning it off then back on again.
-
2 RepliesOne time. The odd thing was I just turned it off then on again and never had a problem with it ever since.
-
1 ReplyNope. I got one in 2005 and it lasted until at least 2009 when it was stolen in a burglary.
-
One time on the og Xbox 360. Not on the slim.
-
To me personally no, but it happened to my cousin's xbox while we were playing skate 2

2 RepliesEdited by niobe-2: 5/23/2016 2:15:47 PMI got a 360 day one and when i got the RROD i sent it to microsoft and waited A WHOLE GODDAMN MONTH.

1 ReplyNo and I've had multiple 360s since launch. The most I've had happen was fry the power brick when I plugged it in while I was deployed and it was the wrong voltage. Since then I've had multiple 360s (currently have 4) 1st was simply since launch 2nd was bought because I didn't feel like waiting until MS sent me a new power brick while deployed 3rd was "slim" version 4th was GoW version Not one RROD *I'm not saying it wasn't real, as the RROD was very real, just that I never got it*
-
My 360 quit reading discs on Christmas Day of 2008 and then I got the RROD the day I got Halo Wars. Which was just about a month or so after I got the console back from Microsoft.
-
5 RepliesAll im gonna say is, xbox knew about the problem and added the red lights.
-
2 RepliesMy first 360 from 2006 got the rrod. Sent it to Microsoft, they sent me a refurbished 360 in return. A couple months pass, and the refurbished one started getting disc read errors. Went into Gamestop and traded in the refurb for an Elite. (Gamestop wasn't aware that it was having disc read errors. Lol)
-
6 Replies2 times in fact, I ran trough 4 360's, 2 normals and 1 elite, the normals got RROD 1 of them within warrenty so they repaired it, I later gave it to my ex. The elite broke because of a faulty lens in the DvD player. I also got the slim model, which still works fine.
