11 months 1 week ago
I heard about the red ring of death on the xbox360 but i wanted to know if it occurs often to people who has the 360
Aye, happened to mine so I sent it off to get fixed...Just got it back today. And yes this is very common. The average 360 lifetime is about a year...
I've heard the heat causes the motherboard to warp...but that's just what I've heard, so don't hold me to it.

Same here, but it's long time ago.
I have 3 friends whose Xbox's showed the 3 red lights. We call it "Sharingan" XD... you just have to get it fixed and that's all. It happens very often, but I think that it happens more if you play too much.

They say the cause of this is playing too much on their xbox 360. but most likely is because there are a hardware problems. But in my opinion is because it overheats and with that heat it burn some of the hardware inside. and if it burns a lot of the hardware then you are done. but people have send their xbox 360 to microsoft to get it fixed and people won't get them back until a month later and yet there people who have to wait for theirs to get fix and were waiting for months already. That is why microsoft is changing the warranty from one year to three years. And microsoft has lost 3 million dollars because of the warranty change and I think they are still lossing more money because they keep fixing the xbox360. and this is not just a few people that had this problem, its almost every owner out there statistics say that only 10% of the xbox 360 won't have this problem, but yet microsoft say that the percentage keeps going lower. If you buy an xbox 360 right there is a high chance that you will get the red ring of death. microsoft right now they are working on the problem as for now they wont say a thing because they are getting sued my so many people because of this incident.
It's easy enough to prevent (and possibly fix, if you catch it time) the problem if you feel comfortable working inside of a computer case...
Well! the main problem with the x360 is the heating.
they really need to try something different like liquid cooling or maybe make the case more open ... like the pc cases with big side fans.
they could have saved a lot of money if they had really worked on the cooling.

Ive heard of this problem in other countries as well. It doesnt seem to be an isolated problem. I dont want to be paranoid, but I think that all the first xbox 360 that came up in the first months have this problem.

The real name is the curse of the 3 red lights the problem of this originates in some xbox 360 not in all as al to warm up the tin that this around del processor expands due to the temperature of the console really until this point is no problem the problem is soon originated to extinguish the console is has when the tin that covers the processor contracts and empiesan to see welds in cold then when you pledge the console leave famous the 3 red lights to you you I say I to it who until hour already I have commanded to repair mia in several ocaciones by the same problem
I've never had the red ring of death for as long as I had my Xbox 360 which actually isn't that long. They have the 3 year warranty now so it's not so much of a big deal if you actually get it. Also the new Xbox 360 Premiums w/HDMI shipping out have a new heatsink installed to prevent overheating and they supposedly have a much lower chance of getting the red ring of death.

I think this is the disadvantage of the xbox 360. It makes me wonder why they never anticipated it, I mean it's already modern times they should be at least prepare for gamer addicts who are more used to playing most of the time and not thinking about shutting the consoles down. For now we haven't suffered from it but were trying to do ways to prevent them like adding extra fans to the console. Were even thinking of getting a coolant fan for it.

Funny story, that just happened to me a few hours ago... It doesn't feel good.
And Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is coming out in a few weeks too... Dern it.

It happened once but we had it replaced cause it was only a few days old. And yes I do agree to why they didn't anticipated this with the way their brains are working something like this could be prevented. Or maybe they are aware of it but they focused on trying to sell additional add-ons like cooling fans to make more profit so they had to lower the heat resistance of the console. Come on it's already modern times and a lot of people already knows there are heavy game players out there who spend more than 5 hours playing. Their company are PC manufacturers too for gosh sakes so they should have done a thing about it. Xbox 360 would have been the best if not for this.
Its mean you play your xbox360 to long! --
and it saying Death to your games!
