Have you seen the 360's failure rate? This isn't really that surprising. :(




Posted by Arcadios

I thought someone said they improved. :awesome:




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

They have.

Did it actually red ring or what? If not, it could potentially fix itself. I'd wait a couple days. Heck, it used to do that for a few weeks straight back around christmas.




Posted by Arcadios

No Red Rings.
Just Freezies.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, I'd wait. If you have a cool room in your house pop it in there over night.




Posted by Arcadios

My room has central air which I blast every night down to 69 C so I don't think that's the problem.
But everytime I start it up it gives off these BRRIZZ sounds which I didn't have before. :(

Posted by Arcadios

I'll go find a box to ship it in tomorrow.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Posted by Arcadios

Told me I had to provide my own.
Also said they're gonna e-mail me the address and ****.

Posted by Shade

But you were just online and everything




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Probably shows him signing in fine while his box is frozen.




Posted by Arcadios

Yea, Just yesterday.
Nothing changed from then till now but this had to happen.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. I hope it's just Disc 4 that doesn't require to be read as much, but sometimes when I start up Lost Odyssey, it doesn't sound as much as it use to.

I wonder if it's a bad thing that I'm concerned about something that makes less noise than it usually does. But I **** sure hope they put my console together correctly. Otherwise, keep a seat for me Arc.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

My xbox doesn't rev for CoD4 at all. Loads slower, but plays fine anyways.

Usually when the drive quiets down like that it's because of a disc read error, and you'll know when you get one when you start to hear a clicking noise. Best solution for that is to use a soft cloth (like the ones for glasses) and rub the disc. Fixes if for me no problem, because it used to happen with Mass Effect and a few other games.

Well, I get back on it and it worked. All of the dashboard was able to load up but I still wanted to be sure I can play online so I decided to have some Halo. Got the people together for Team Slayer with ease and then we went inot the actual match. 5 minutes into it it just completely froze again but I was able to open the disc tray and it took me to the dashboard again. Also the noise when it starts up is still there so I still think I'm going to mail it in for repairs. I've got the UPS paper to tape on the box. Instructions said to take to a UPS Store or Stables/Office Depot and give it to them. Will I get charged for fees or it'll be wavered since it's considered a return from what the paper says?


Hopefully they won't bring it back thinking it works perfectly fine. I'm guessing they check everything from online play to the actual system itself.

How do they check for what's wrong anyway?




Posted by Kit

Because my box has a big fan on the back of it, it won't overheat, but it's bloody loud.

*press on button* GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

and the fan still runs if it's charging up a controller.




Posted by Crazy K

Yeah when I got my 360 back the power button was all ****ed up. It was harder to push in. But it works fine, so I don't care.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

who uses the button on the console anyways?


Quoted post: Hopefully they won't bring it back thinking it works perfectly fine. I'm guessing they check everything from online play to the actual system itself.


They'll probably just give you a refurb they know works instead of fiddling around with yours. Mark your Xbox on the back or something to see if you get your box back.



Posted by Arcadios

Good idea. Will do.
Got all the supplies to ship it out. Gonna do it tonight.




Posted by Skitzo Control

Funny... I've never had any problems with my 360, and I have it sitting underneath other huge, overheating electronics (Sega Genesis and a VCR).




Posted by Prince Shondronai

I wonder if a game could be programmed to turn on the RROD. Eternal Darkness 2 should totally use that for an insanity effect if Silicon Knights makes it for the 360.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

That would be awesome. If only MS would let them do it.




Posted by Arcadios

So I got a 360 back.

But it isn't the one I sent!
Don't know how to take this but I bought Bioshock today to see how it'll go.
And when it got sent I got a free month on live.
wooooo!




Posted by Arcadios

Well, everything seems to work right.

Except the first time I put a game in it said unreadable disc.
Freaked out for a second until I took it out and put it back in.

Worked fine. Works fine online. Just that it isn't my original box. :(




Posted by Skitzo Control

It's just plastic tampon-shaped box filled with wires, computer chips, LEDs, and so forth. There's no point in being sentimental over it.




Posted by G-Sides

bioshock for the ****ing win




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

yeah, I knew you wouldn't get your old box back. They have stockpiles of refurbs waiting to be shipped off. Yours will soon be one of them.
