Chalk this RRoD to Human Arrogance...
SourGr8pes | 3:16 PM on 08.01.2008 4 comments


It finally happened. I got the Red Ring of Death. After two and a half years of unfaltering invincibility, my Tower of Babel has finally crumbled.
Over those two and a half years, I've watched the 360s of others rise and fall and never felt the longevity of mine would be of any threat.

Ironically, the RRoD usually strikes before the release of a new game, or the purchase of a new game (Spectral Force 3, in my case), and this time was no exception. Now, it will collect dust, until I receive the coffin to send my fallen soldier back home in.

Destructoid users: I thought my console was the Killdozer to end all Killdozers, but my arrogance got the best of me.

Now all I can do is grieve....





Now on a lighter note, I am proud to announce the first annual

SOURGR8PES BIKINI CARWASH
to buy me a new PS3 to pass the time...




Ladies, do YOU have what it takes to wash cars in skimpy clothing while old men leer at you, while I not make money for my not PS3, so I may play not Disgaea 3?
GOOD! Sign up now to become a part of the most prolific bikini carwash since 2 hours ago on the Playboy channel! You shan't regret it, and neither shan't I!

If by "human arrogance" you're talking about the guys over at Microsoft, then yes, I agree.

Sorry that happened to you, but I like your buy-a-PS3 idea. Those don't die and they're basically the same as the 360 at this point.

I thought I was suddenly about to get an RROD (on my Falcon-chip 360!) last night while playing Viva Pinata, when the frame-rate started chugging real bad for two hours and didn't clear up. I panicked and even called up Microsoft support when it didn't clear up, but it turned out my garden had just become permanently glitched (my other games were fine), so I had to box up my pinatas and ship them to myself for a new garden.

Thank god. It's sad that the 360 is so unreliable that the smallest screw-up in a game prepares me mentally for a 360-less depression.

Oh, and sorry about yours, though.

@Pedro
Yeah, I was thinking about getting one anyways for Disgaea and Valkyria Chronicles. Now's a better time than ever, I guess

@Necros
I know dude, it's either the game or the hardware. Lately, I've been getting a lot of faulty games, it's probably something the game makers should look into.
