Official Xbox 360 Thread

I am still amazed at how many 360's people keep buying after they crap out on them. Not just on here, I have a friend whose gone through like 8 of the fucking things.

How is that even possible? I had a Zephyr and it got RROD like they all do. I replaced it with a Falcon and it's been okay. After that they released Jasper which fixed some of the issues but the system since Valhalla has been as reliable as expected. It took them five years but they got there.

I'm technically on my third 360 but only one of them broke. I traded my launch model for a Wii when the first HDMI versions came out and I got one that died like four years later.

I wouldn't have even bought the one I have now but I got it basically new condition from my sister in law for like $50 or something crazy like that. She had used it for a month and rarely at that.

I'm probably off on the exact number but I know it's higher than 5. He went through a bunch of them in the first 2 - 3 years.

It makes you wonder how distantly in third place MSFT would be globally if no one bought more than, say, two of these pieces of shit.

I got one of the new, black Xbox 360 slims, since my old white one shit the bed. I downloaded my profile and all my games, but I need my saves. So:

1. Does anyone have that transfer cable they could lend me? I really don't want to spend $20 for a one-time thing.

2. If I've already downloaded my profile and have played games, will the transfer overwrite it?

Thanks in advance.

Take your old HDD to someone elses house with a working old-school 360, upload all of those saves to the cloud, download them at your house. There are very few 360 games that don't let you copy your save to the cloud.

I bet it would be about the same. All the negative reaction from the red ring must have sworn off just as many people from ever buying one.

You give consumers too much credit I think.

I lost track of who had the one I sent out.

Pretty sure I had it, but I sent it to someone else.

Lets blame Criticom.

Probably. I'm buying the One.
