Another RROD. I Am not God.
lastSKYsamurai | 6:11 AM on 10.28.2008 8 comments


What’s with the RROD anyway. I thought the heat sink was to blame, melting onto the CPU and all.

Today I come home late from work, breakdowns AGAIN! Pull a muscle in my back planting pumpkins, Pumpkins! Read the horrible review for Guitar Hero: WT, & find out that the bloody Ecos of War Leg-Edition cost me over AU $100 because of the stupid Economy! It bloody retails for &49 US!



Then! - My 360 dies... RROD all that. Thought I was immune, Had it since the Halo 3 launch & thought I had passed the culling season months ago. –guess not.

Now I should be mad, I guess, I dunno. However, what bothers me is that if it is indeed the RROD in the sense that it’s the melted heatsink & all. How the heck does a 360 just Red Ring on ya as soon as you turn it on a good 12 hours after your last play session? - I can only assume it hasn't died in the normal sense. But then what’s up with that then. I always knew I had an older model 360, But this still should be covered be Warranty right? I hope so.

I'll soon find out in a few weeks. ….Though, not before GOW2 Arrives. Bloody &*^$! Maybe also Guitar Hero IV will come before then. I hope not. I don't think I have the capability to register new games with no system. My head will explode I think.

On the plus side. I did get customer support ten minutes before closing today, & I can keep my hardrive with me. But, after looking around, It seems like my user profile/Gamercard Is registered onto the system itself & not the hardrive? I know for a fact though that I've seen my profile & others in the HD's memory. I'm not sure what will happen then when I maybe just get a refurbished system back instead. I can't redo all my achievements agen, again! The thought of all that time wasted! uh!

..........Guess I should dust off the old Wii & finish Mario Galaxy. Really though, do people still play that thing? After getting blow-off by the half baked hardware AKA, Wii-motion-plus. I see no reason to keep following such a system, that is, until the next Zelda comes. - But I'll save that one till another time.

So till I get my system back; Peace out, God bless & happy gaming to the rest of you.

Tim, lastSKYsamurai.

No no no...Gamertag is an floating entity. You can "recover" your Gamertag on other 360's via online but it takes awhile. Basically what is tagged and locked to your system are DRM aka XBLA games. So if you have any XBLA games, they will only work if you are ONLINE. But they will send you some instructions on how to transfer the rights of those games to your new system.

Harddrives contain you saves, DLC, XBLA games, videos, music, etc...your Tag is NOT tagged to your 360. Has nothing to do with achievements which are logged onto your Gametag. words.


And the 360 RRoD cause it is a HORRIBLE, horrible piece of hardware. No one is safe from it. I just have my 4th RRoD a month ago. That's why I moved my primary gaming to the PS3.

Dang.. Sorry about the loss, RRoD is a pain and a half.

I too got RRoD upon the first turning on after not playing for 12+ hours. Hopefully they will get your xbox taken care of as quick as possible.

Sweet BlindSide, cheers for the info. That sux though that you have to be "Online" to play XBLA games. Is that the same with the Playstation Network?

But hey, Once I'm past this, thats it right! right? thanks for the condols people.
