I know there can be more than one reason for a system failing but thats the main one right? Im not modded and dont plan on doing it, all I need is forza 2 and gears of war and halo

 

Ya i have no red ring. I didnt on the other one either. But both did the same thing. Its weird. I called 360 support and i have to send the system out. They seem to think that it is the read lens. What concerns me is that my downloaded games on the hd are now freezing randomly also. That has only ever happened once since i bought it last year. Now ever since the first update the other night, it freezes no matter which game im on, dvd or off the hd, and i have to shut it down. It seems to happen multiple times too. Its never just once. O well, maybe ill pick up an elite and sell this one to my brother.

 

I got the extended warrenty from walmart, so for three years whenever something happens to it I just give it to them and get a new one

 

Actually the most common red ring is from the av cables not being set properly.

And Tim, I talked to my buddy last night. He bought a new 360 cause his did the same thing as yours. MS wanted >$100 to repair it cause it wasn't covered under warranty.

 

Aw. Dont tell me that. Especially since the guy didnt say there would be any costs involved. I will be super pissed if he left that part out.

 

I just bought a pizza...discuss

Should be here in 30 minutes...along with a 2 liter of cola

 

It's sad, I'm too tired to even care that Dan said "pizza". *sigh*

 

All toppings or just pepperoni? WHat kind of cola?

 

You knew I meant a real issue that it needs sent away for

 

Mmmm, liter cola.

 

the 3 liter cola rocks, what is that like 150 or something... I cant remember

 

That's *kinda* what I meant too. MS said that the numbers used to calculate the percentage of "defective" consoles were skewed because a huge portion of the consoles sent to them simply had an A/V cable problem. Apparently there's a way to trip the system into giving a red ring of light over the A/V cable settings that simply requires a tricky console reset with the cable on the right setting. Most people think it means broken console and send it away to MS for repair.

 

vocelli

extra cheese, diet pepsi

just arrived...delicious

 

What was the deal with wrapping the damn thing in some towels and turning it on? I heard it got so hot that it reset some switch or something and it would work for like a week and then you would have to do it again.

XL??

 

I've had the red ring of death 3 times and never had to do anything fancy. Just turned it off, unplugged everything, plugged it back in, and no further issues.

 

Never heard about the towel thing. Doesn't sound like a good idea IMO... haha.

 

i want pizza now

Didnt sound like a good idea to me either til I watched this lol. It is a long movie though, 8 min

vocelli's breadstix are the poop

 

Im a fan of Pizza Palermo

 

Hungry Hank's FTW.

 

Damn, Vocelli's is ftw here.

 

OK, *drool* I usually order just breadsticks as my meal. Sad thing is I order it so often they don't even bat an eye at it anymore. If it's me and Wes we'll order a salad and 3 orders of breadsticks. I'm waiting for them to say "You know, we DO have pizza here too...."
