E3 Impressions: Yeah! MS E3 Was Great! Let's turn on my Xbox to see what new content is available.... OH NOES RRoD. [Update 1: RAGE Warranty]
Ub3rSlug \| 8:07 PM on 07.14.2008	37 comments

Not even shitting you. Just finished watching the e3 presentation and decided to see what new marketplace content was available. I turn on my 360, turn my T.V. to the right input and BAM, no signal. "That's weird" I remark to myself. I look over at my controller, which isn't synced with my 360. I glance over at my 360, and my heart sinks.

R.I.P 360
200?-2008

RRRRAAAAAAGGGGGEEEEEEE.

Update 1:

After checking on the site, it appears I'm not under warranty. How could this be? Didn't they extend it to 3 years/cover ALL RRoD?

i feel your pain, the same thing happened to me about a week after i bought Bad Company

Ub3rSlug

OH GOD THE TIMING IS SO IRONIC.

grassr00ts

sorry to hear that, although it seems like this is your first one, so i guess that's looking on the bright side

Celdurant

Oh damn. That's some bad luck man.

The worse RROD experience I've had so far was when I was over at a friend's house when he invited me and two friends to some multiplayer fun.

The red ring kinda sunk that ship before it sailed. Gotta say, it got awkward.

Crappy deal is crappy :(

kawitchate

well there's the problem. you glued your console to the wall, blocking the air holes (technical term).

007

...So I guess you'll need some change, huh?

Ub3rSlug

Anyone got spare change?

freker

[b]HARSH.[b]

I'd better try mine.

Gamechamp

Just send it in to Microsoft. Don't worry! I'm SURE you'll have it back before Banjo-Kazooie hits the Live Arcade!

Aaron Mxy Yost

I'm sorry for your loss.

007

Wait, are you out of the warranty? Because... that would suck. Floppy donkey dick.

Pedro Blandino

i just got mine back.

vexed alex

Eugh. Fucking Microsoft.

Here's hoping you get yours as fast as I got mine.

super size rice

Your currently expired 1 year warranty covers problems other than the RROD (disc drive, etc.) You should still be eligible for the 3 year RROD warranty.

Jerkbutt47

dude same shit happened to me like a week ago. it said the same shit about being out of warranty, but I still called customer service, and they still let me send it to the repair center.

covah

call them

Aaron Mxy Yost

What covah said. Call them and demand satisfaction!

norm9

I laughed at the delicious irony of it all.

Now I'm gonna turn mine on and hope that karma doesn't exist.

Ub3rSlug

Will do guys. I'm actually leaving for Alaska on Wednesday for 10 days, so I'm going to towel trick it, play it for tonight and tomorrow, call and get the box shipped out. I'll have a family member ship it out while I'm in Alaska, and hopefully get it back soon.

Ub3rSlug

@Norm9: Seriously, I was have laughing half raging when I first saw it.

SilverDragon1979

That just totally sucks. :-(

Scrixx

3 year warranty for RROD ftw, plus my extended 3 year warranty for Target ftw. I'm still on my first , 8 months strong :x

I hope karma doesn't bite me.

pedrovay2003

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that...

See, that's why even though I loved Microsoft's keynote, I can't help but still shake my head, knowing that whatever they bring us the Red Ring will still happen.

pedrovay2003

You know what? I think that's actually a different red ring than we're used to seeing... Maybe that's why you're warranty isn't working...

pedrovay2003

...Triple post loses...

Just load that picture separately.

Again, sorry for the triple post, but I'm just trying to help in any way I can.

thefil

Mine's not dead, but it's dying. It crashed during the first E3 trailer I watched, and for a second I was terrified.

Celdurant

I didnt know that it was plural, Red Rings of Death. I thought there was only one ring to ruin them all, etc.

Electro Lemon

Uberslug: What Super Size Rice said. The on-site warranty explanation is just for the warranty that came with the Xbox. The 3 year warranty still applies.

Ub3rSlug

@Pedro: Thanks man, but I've seen a few other pictures and have confirmed my RRoD. My towels worked, and I have it back for a little while (at least until the coffin gets here).

I hope I get an HDMI model back :D. I'm going to upgrade the HD for the new Fall update.

Ub3rSlug

@Electric Cobra: Yeah, that's what I assumed.

Can has Celebration?!

@brainderailment: I assume since 2006, since that's what the warranty info says. That would make her 2 years old I actually can't remember, lol.

Crunshii

ps3 meng... ps3... leave that red bricking brick and come to the dark side @_@!

Ub3rSlug

@Crunshii: One day man, one day. Right now, I'm content with my wii60 combo, nothing on the PS3 interests me.
