RIP Xbox 360...

I come home to find out my 360 has the 3 red ring of death. This is my 5th 360. :(

I always go to Best Buy to exchange my systems. Its quicker than waiting for MS. I've spent close to 300 just for buying the replacement plans from Best Buy.

I have my 360 on a wooden shelf. Its right next to the HD DVD drive. Maybe thats causing the problem.

Search my post history. My gamertag is DaMamba24. I was just playing NBA 2k8 last night and was about to try Battlefield today.

Tip: Don't store it back right next to a wall.

Personally (nothing agaianst you just talking in general right now) I hate when people complain about having there 360 dead, and saying that it sucks and that when they have there 360 pretty much cooking in an oven. They have to relaize that its not just the matter of storing it in an open space its the matter of having the room its stored in to be a few degrees (celcius) lower then what the 360 air otake is giving out. I can gaaruntee that if you have it stored in a cool place and in an open space (not with its fans against a wall and preferably horizontaly placed) that it will not over heat.

Aw that sucks. I'm on my 4th Xbox360 right now. The very first one I bought came with a power cord that didn't fit. The cord that plugs into that big battery pack looking thing was three prongs and it needed to be two prongs. Then the next two had broken hard drives. This 4th one has lasted about a year and a half now.

Oh and when I returned the first xbox360, I accidently left an unopened copy of GoW in the box. Sam's Club claimed that it wasn't in the box when they searched it. I know it was. :evil:

Is there a website I can post pics on... I want to show you guys where I placed my 360.hkc213

Here are the pics.

Part 2

Sigh... Look at that RRoD.

I dought this user has an Xbox 360DukeNukem2D

Any doubts now?

u should send it to microsoft it take 2 weeks best buy repairs there own systems and give them to ppl so mab give microsoft a chance of repair it?

have a friend who works at bestbuy and he sees them repairing xboxs so ya thats how i know they work on it there selfs

thats fine wher eu have just woundering if u leave it on like al, night lol i play mines like 6-8 hours day a day and only the video had failed on me (green lines going thru the game and that junk)

Dang that sucks. Im on my 8th Xbox. I should get something for having it so many times lol. But yeah try to put it on a place where it can get good ventilation. Also I think making your Xbox vertical instead of horizontal is better in my opinion. I do the same thing at Best Buy, just go in give them my crap xbox with RRoD and get a new one and keep on gaming again in less than an hour.IMonKI

maybe thats the problem..try doing the opposite of your on advice and you wouldnt have so many 360's brakedown on you..

If you read my other post I said that I had all of my RRoD when my xbox was horizontal. When i switched it to vertical, I haven't had any more RRoD for a year now.

Um...not sure if you knwo this but it;s not dead, no red ring of death! Unless it was 4 red sections then it probally overheated. Let cool for awhile and then soonm enough it should be good. IF it continues call microsoft but....unless its fully red in a circle then it's fine.DarkMaster7991

Fully red in a circle = Cord not plugged in correctly :P

3 quarters red = RRoD.

Hmmm on a offical xbox magzine it was said a full circle is a red ring of death. THere is one thats full but it could also be a fakie. I read it. Not sure who is right but I read it in 2 diffrent magazines and had the red overheated ring.DarkMaster7991

Nope.

Don't be a complete idiot, if you've gone through five, what does that tell you? Your placement is obviously blocking the Air vents, I'd recommend the Intercooler EX which I have and my 360 is a launch title. Just try useing a fan and not playing 10 hours straight, kk?Englandfc1966

If you look at the picture, you can see that the air vents aren't blocked. And I've never played 360 for 10 hrs. I get sick after playing about 2 hrs straight.

I still think it's because you have a pink controller, which I find very disturbing.

Recommending a fan would be like saying: "Want to Overheat Your Xbox?! Well here the perfect thing to get! A Intercooler!" Yeah the fan in fact uses more power therefore canceling it's main purpose. YOu ccan play longer without it. My friend also has a launch xbox but his hasn't broke ethier. You guys are just lucky...
