Official XBox 360 Thread III: Third Strike

[K3V]

My system, bought in May, has been the most trouble free console I have ever owned. I think it stole the good karma from other 360s or something.

I thought the same thing about my December 05 system until I got the red ring of death last night.

I got the three red lights while downloading the Marvel content the other day. I powered off, rebooted, and downloaded it again without any problem.

It never happened before and hasn't happened since, but I'm very wary now.

No red rings yet on mine (bought about a year ago). It does cry out with a disturbingly unhealthy sounding clicking sometimes, though.

i never once said it didn't. i just don't see the point of trading in a $400 defective system for a $470 one.

MS has their customers by their balls and none of them seem to care too much. there is NO excuse for the reliability of their system.

HDMI & larger HD, I guess. If mine were to fail again, I'd get the Elite too.

I smashed my Pinball score on the Speed table the other night and I'm still at about 1/3 of Haos top score. There are too many people that are really good at games here.

If you want to get really high scores on any of those tables you have to have multiple multi-balls to get up there.

yeah, that's how I passed 200k.

200,000? Or did you really mean 200 million? 200,000 is barely anything.

Dyne, do you own any of the next-gen systems? You seem to chime in about everything based only on what you've heard or tried out.

my bro has a 360 and i've got a wii available whenever. i don't need to own anything to know the 360 has a high failure rate so i fail to see your point. you don't need to bunch your panties cause i say it's shoddily made (which is fact weather you "hear" it or not. the past 15 posts are proof of this) but i'll say it's a great system if it helps you feel better about your investment. here's my breakdown of this gen.

Nintendo needs to release GAMES instead of gimmicky shit for me to buy a wii.

SONY needs to get an exclusive i want and drop the price $300 for me to get a ps3.

MS needs to make their fucking system better before i get one. it's that simple. until then i'll wait for my bro's to break.
