Red Rings

[Sephiroxas]

So our 360 has red ringed. A lot recently. Only when we play video games though. For some strange reason. It over heats. When we watch shows from my computer or watch a show off a disc, or a movie, it's fine. But the instant we play a video game 23 minutes to an hour later, BOOM redrings. Hopefully we'll get a new one before the release of Resident Evil 5

That sucks i've known a few people who got red ringed mines been pretty clean so far i've only had it since late october though.It helps alot when you install the games it stays cooler,quieter and the disk doesn't spin.

Hey now theres no need to rub it in. :-\

 

[aintnoscrub]

i sold my 360, and changed to ps3 because of the red ring problem, i also went through 3 xbox's with that, so eventually thought too much hassel constantly having it replaced, so i got a replacement from microsoft, sold it, put the money diff and got a ps3. so far no problems =)
although do you use the towel technique? can get rid of the rings for up to like a month, if your console isnt that old and damaged.

 

[dark_zero]

holy i hope my xbox dont end up doing that ill be very ****ed >

 

[Hoady]

I'm pretty sure all these xboxs coming out recently are safer some new chip or something i'm not really sure but i don't hear of red rings as much as i used too.

 

[ResiDude]

Yeah. Although I still hear of it.. It is getting slightly better. I'd still prefer to have a PS3 though than risk it...

Now I know what Red Rings is and I just have to say that it must be a pain for you when you Xbox 360 shows the Red Eye..

 

[ResiDude]

It is! My bro had it happen to him and he didn't get his 360 back for like a month!

I love Sony lol. :

And this is why I didn't get XBOX. I thought about it year or two ago, when I didn't know about red ring. I rather spent more money on to something that should last, instead of buying something cheaper that won't last (though Microsoft does fix them for free, but waiting a month doesn't sound very good to me) and money was why I first thought about XBOX. Now after months of saving I finally got my PS3 and I'm in love with it. And I've always had PS' so it felt even more natural choice for me.

i am planning to buy PS3 soon...i like Ps3 and its way too better than X360 in so many ways.

[ResiDude]

If my girlfriend was Sony (keep an open mind people haha) then I'd be rich and get to play all games before anyone else!

 

[3d-agent]

i am keeping an open mind that's y i have this question.
Isn't sony is a man's name?lol

 

[ResiDude]

Most likely..

But I was thinking of the company as a whole

Either way.. this is so impossible and wrong.
