Rage in the form of RRoD
T-rav | 7:07 PM on 11.23.2008 15 comments




Third time’s a charm. Somehow, that phrase doesn’t seem appropriate here.

Yes, my third Xbawks 360 has succumb to the fatal Red Ring of Death® (all right reserved by Microsoft). However, this red ring is unique. It is a Red Ring of Once In A While Death, in that it appears about every fifth of the time I power up my console. Of course, my Wii, which I have not used in months, is still fine. It sits lonely and cold, yearning for attention that it doesn’t deserve while I sigh and look away in shame.

Soon I will get the shipping label to plaster onto my previous box that I received for my second RRoD. But for now, I shall enjoy the last few sputtering breaths my 360 has to offer, whilst listening to the metallic grinding of two chainsaws colliding in a conflict for life or temporary 5-to-10 second death.

Also, welcome to the club Mxyzptlk.

Hopefully the virus doesn't mutate, affecting PS3s nationwide.

I can only grief on your loss, am also a RROD survivor myself.

Ay Chihuahua! It sounds like it is/was very confrused as if it didn't know if it wanted to live or RRoD permanently.

Here's hoping that the wait, in the meantime, is bearable.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

 about me

Hey, my name is Travis. I have played vidja games since I was a wee lad, growing up on the N64, followed by the Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and lastly, the PSTriples. I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.

Scrixx owes me 5 dollars. NEVAR FORGET.
