Went to blockbuster and rented a ton of games, as soon as I booted Bioshock I get the screen freeze and rings of death. I knew I shouldn't have said I was lucky last night to my friend. I friggin Jynxed myself. Looks like this RRoD is way too common. I am the last person I knew this hasn't happened to. Now everyone I know has had a dead 360. Tiime to boot up the PS3 I guess. The useless paperweight it is. |

Myself, I just traded in my year old 360 for a new one with the new mobo and HDMI port. Finally pays to have extended insurance on a console.

Mine have simply over heated or the DVD drive stopped reading disks. And yes, it is well ventalted. Since I only have a glass AV rack to put them on. No sides, or back means good ventalation.

The rings only happened to me once, but they happened and the worst time.. I had a warranty, but the xboxes were still in short supply so I had to wait about a month to get one.
Now I am just looking to buy one for November, but under the recommendation of some of the folks here, I'm am going to wait until more of the new chipset it out. I really don't want the rings when I am rebuying the system for one game. If it crashes while I'm playing that game, I'll kill myself. 
I once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon. | |

Is this kinda like the "blow" trick of the old NES, where you would blow on the games to make them work?
