so is everyone here have/had this RRoD on the first model xbox 360s?
or anyone have the ones with the hdmi port built in which is supposed to be the new ones that doesnt overheat or shouldn't.

i went out to get one (either arcade or pro with the hdmi ports) new years day and luckily for me they were sold out. so now im telling myself not to get one yet.

hell im getting my cousin's xbox and gamecube both for 50 and plan on modifying those.

but call of duty 4 and gears is just freaking sweet.

If you read a long post all the way through then the story is either compelling or very funny. I'm sorry for your lack of game console but the story was told with such humour you should take up short story telling LMAO :rofl:
:clap::clap::clap:

The fact that you are a girl and had all those comebacks makes it funnier.

My 360 took a dump on me and lets just say I was pissed. So I proceeded to call MS India(god knows they shouldn't speak English!) and talked to some moron for 30 mins until they told me because my disc drive broke I had to pay $100 to get it fixed!!!!!!! So I proceeded to tell her that MS sucks and I was just gonna play my PS3 from now on. Well I caved and bought another Xbox 360 Elite that night. I know I'm a sucker but I LOVE xbox live! My PS3 and Wii both collect dust so I couldnt not get a 360 again.

My 2 cents: 3 days out of the box and it failed. The Microsoft phone assistance is even worse - no one home other than the automated operator. I got a replacement after taking it back to Circuit City, but now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the warranty coverage ...YIKES!

Both of my sons Xboxes worked flawlessly. His original blew up when we had a lightning strike but I looked up what might have gone wrong and fixed it for something like $10 for the part I replaced.

Fingers crossed, knock on wood... ow.

You could send them to me


I had a similar problem with a Wi-Fi printer. I kept saying, just give me the dang IP address and then we went through this that and the other. Turns out (and nothing anywhere says this) that the printer IP is dynamic and you MUST have a router.

My boyfriend went and bought his own xbox 360 last night while we were out. I'm convinced he did it just to be mean.
If he thinks I'm bringing all the games and controllers over for him to use, he's out of his mind. Get your own copy of Halo 3! I need mine! To stare at and cry!
*Conveniently forgetting that he bought most of the games and controllers...

I'm hoping the new console doesn't have the same problem as mine. He could probably fix it himself as he's one of those people who can do things like that without dying. What a hassle, though, when you just wanna play a darn game.
The new xbox came with 2 stupid games that no one likes. The girl at the counter was even like.. "It comes with two free games, but they kind of suck"
He got the game, Mass Effect, seems really cool so far.

Should be fun when mine is up and running again. We can bring them both over his house and use separate televisions. (we lead very exciting lives)
Of course, that will make killing him even more difficult for me since I look at his split-screen more than I do mine.

Still waiting for that box! Darn weekends!

Mine is the one with the HDMI port.

Mine is the one with the HDMI port.

well thats disappointing to hear.
just found out my cousin's first batch 360 is out for the count also. he's too lazy to call it in.

i guess i'll just wait it out a little longer.

thanks mr. u

then there is the classic question of, ?Is the device on sir?

lmao the sad thing though, is that my dad is the computer tech. support guy for a series of high schools, and 9 times out of ten his conversation with the teachers goes:
T: my computer won't work
Dad: is it properly hooked into the network?
t: yes but the monitor won't work
d: is the monitor turned on?
t: yes of course the monitor is turned on, but theres nothing on it
d: is the computer turned on?
t: well i've been trying to tell you that it won't turn on!
d: is the computer plugged in...
t: yes of course its plugged in i'm not some kind of...oh...oh um...nevermind...

sigh...

that being said, as much pain as i know it gave you, reading that convo really made my night much better
