And another one gone and another one gone, another 360 bites dust...
BlindsideDork | 8:08 PM on 09.03.2008 37 comments


It has happened again, and again, and again tonight. It all started with freezing (like it always did) and upon resetting it wouldn't load the main logo screen. The next reset gave me the all too familiar red blur. But determined to NOT let it happen again, I tried to disconnect it from the wall. Behold, it booted up...only to have no sound and not get past the title screen yet again.

Alas, the fate of all 360's, a RRoD. On the bright side, I don't have to worry about it dying right before or the day of the GREATEST game ever being released. What's worse is that this is just a common practice and I was thinking of buying a new system in the mean time. Why is that an okay thought? Buying another system to replace your old system...what is wrong with this picture?

I am really getting tired of this sorry piece of hardware. And I know this blog and that line alone will get people think I am hopped up on Haterade but I just think it is ridiculous that I have already gone through FOUR Red Rings of Death and I am sure of another one coming upon me.

Something is surely wrong with this picture, but will it get fixed? Well I am off to file away for a new 360. It better be here before L4D comes out or heads will roll! At least I already beat the overrated Castle Crashers this weekend.

When you get to FIVE RRODs I might share the title CEO of RRODs...

@Hookah

This is my first MS console I bought, and only once, just bought a warranty and then the rest died before 30 days passed.

Sorry about that. I'm on my third 360. It's kinda nice that I haven't paid for a single one, but it's still so half-assed of MS.

Hookah Malone is jealous that he can't get Buttsecks on PSN.

Sorry man. If it makes you feel any better mine has yet to RRoD..well it did once but I just rebooted it.

Yes, I agree with Hookah. You should show your disdain to Microsoft by making sure you can never again play the dozens of games you already own. Teach 'em good, BSD!

That sucks.
Also, this is why I have been holding off on getting a 360.

Sad every time I hear this happening to someone.

Also, stop playing it while its in the oven. Common sense.

This seems to be one of the reasons I'm glad that I live in Maine. Companies don't send too many defective products here because then they have to pay shitloads to send it back. Either way, that fucking sucks man.
