Seriously..does anybody in their right frame of mind BELIEVE that the RROD is over and done with? Wake up.
Y'know it's bad when your a gag joke on the Simpsons for cryin' out loud.
Waiting for somebody to say.." But that was from the first run of Xboxes." lol.

Serves them right.
I got RRoD on a 3 month old 360. Fortunatly, it gave the the time to buy an Elite, so it was all worth it. :D

haha, you would think they had people checking for this kind of stuff. At hand to replace the unit with a working one.
reminds me of the bluescreen Bill Gates got when demoing windows 95. I'm going to be pissed if/when the second 360 I bought dies.
Nice, the idiots running the stand should have replaced this urgently. It is possible that this is not a dead console (power issues in the stand or similar) but either way it is stupid. I am hoping my machine RRODs as I would like a quieter replacement.
Like the guys said on RFGO, with the amount of time you leave your console on it's amazing you haven't RRODed yet.

They probably used my old system, as I bet it's cheaper for them to just use repaired refurb systems.
Figures they used my old system. That thing was... unreliable.

Yep! Those new Falcon/Vanhela/Opus XBoxes have fixed the problem as you can see! Straight at the GDC Presentation.
few, rest assured, RROD will be no more.
p.s. If I was MS I would turn that machine off or take it out of the area...

Now, will Microsoft be able to use any of the booth software on its hard drive after they get the console replaced and find DRM restrictions!?
I jest...
but no, I'm fucking serious about DRM. This is by far the worst consumer support for an actively supported product I've heard of - and yet it's hardly mentioned on any gaming sites.
They've got to change their policy, especially when both the PS3 and Wii allow for seamless license transfers even though those two consoles don't even have a ridiculously high failure rate. Unless, like me, everyone is resigned to buying a PS3 just to get away from this bullshit... then M$ doesn't have to change a thing because their player base is leaving... (again, I kid - they better fix their shit).

Falcon revision probably won't eliminate RROD totally, but it should drastically reduce it. It is a pretty poorly designed console, but smaller and smaller chips will eventually totally cover up the flaws.
*punches screen in a fit of rage*
But srsly, that is hilarious and at least they're showing their customers what to expect from their shiny new consoles.

@ GrayFox
lol that's funny that you say that. Allot of spreading rumors from bloggers were claiming it was the cure to rrod completely.

I don't understand why it's so hard for them to solve this problem. They obviously know about it, and they know everyone else knows about it with the internet and all, so it must be costing them sales. And now it's embarrassing them at public events. I can't believe that with all the money and technology Microsoft has, that they can't just figure out what the problem is and fix it.
I don't think this harms sales as much as it should. Thats the sad truth, at least in the US market.
The GDC is the place to show off ones products most endearing features.
Also, circa early 2005
Designerdude
- I think we need to add flashing lights like some modded PCs have.
Designergal
- You mean change the green power lights to flashing.
Designerdude
- No, flashing all the time would be annoying. It should happen only thirty maybe forty percent of the time. And in red, I like red.
Designergal
- Thirty percent you say, where have I heard that number before. Take a look at these figures from the reliability department.
Designerdude
- The consumers will love it.

Not a big surprise, its in an enclosed area so it probably did overheat, where's the liquid nitrogen coolers?
A local electronics store called Future Shop (like Best Buy) has had an RROD 360 in a display case since approximately Dec. 20th (before Christmas) and no one has even bothered to even shut it off...
"with the red ring, which I can't help but giggle a little at."
i get the impression that colette is a total dominatrix.
what? who said that????

How come I WANT my 360 to RRoD, and yet I can't get it to? I'm having problems where my video goes out, and M$ said it would be $100 to fix, so I've left it on for hours on end wrapped in towels to over heat it, and all I get is the 2 red sections, not the 3.
The Red Ring of Death is obviously still a problem with the newer models. Unless MS is so stupid they'ed put out an older defective model. My guess is that if there is a lack of 360s out there its due to them slowing down production till they finally fix the Red Ring.
I second DOOM. Not news. But it's to be expected when the unit inside a plastic bubble. I've seen several PS3's crapped out at retailers because of the plastic case they're in.
