Well isn't that just awesome...
crimson diabolik | 11:00 PM on 06.21.2009 15 comments


Boy this was an awesome week for gaming. Ghostbusters finally comes out, I score an early copy of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I get my grubby little hands on a Virtual Boy and get my hands on a load of gaming deals downtown yesterday, furthering my belief that gay pride parades=good gaming deals. How could this almost perfect week end?



Well fuck...

To be honest I'm actually shocked it took this long to finally knell over and die.

Although, there are a few glimmers of hope in all of this:

a: I'll finally get to catch up with alot of my games on other systems. Killzone 2, Persona 4 and Zack and Wiki, here I come!
b: maybe I'll get lucky enough to be sent a 360 with an HDMI port, which will come in handy when I finally get off my ass and get an HDTV.
c: Maybe I'll get a 360 with a disc tray that actually opens properly and doesn't scratch my games up.
d: Maybe this one can play my copy of GTA 4 for longer than 30 minutes without getting DDE's.

I want to slap you for putting Persona 4 on the back burner.

Mine red ringed last week. I have been hitting the back log as well. I have been playing Psychonauts. I am going to fix mine. I am waiting on the termal paste for the heat sink.

You could get a 360 arcade from best buy, then just return it within 30 days for a full refund. That's what I did when my 360 red ringed.

I did what Grafkhun suggested when I had to send a unit back for repair (faulty drive) the other year.

And, sadly, I regret to report that there's a pretty low chance of getting a unit with an HDMI port. My recently arrived replacement system did not, despite all the praying and letters to Santa I wrote.

@Grafkhun
Do they not check the serial number on the system?

I think he meant that you return the arcade back when your original 360 arrives back from repair.


And to you, onomelon... 2 words.

Shit happens.

RROD seems to affect about 90% of the people on Dtoid I swear.

It happened to me.

@Agent
HAHA, I read Graf's idea the exact same way! "Buy an Xbox Arcade at Best Buy, then return it as your RROD brick!"

Sorry to hear of your loss, man. It's a rite of passage for us all. Get crackin' on that backlog.

I opened mine up and fixed it. Yeah I voided the warranty but it's a jaspar version, the only way those RROD is if they get to much dust in them.
