"I'm as patience and good natured as the next villain, but this is enough to make me blow my stack!" - The wise words of Dr. Ivo Robotnik
Pretty much what I quoted is what I'm feeling right now. I'm really mad to the point where I want to throw my Xbox 360 out the window. The darn thing decided yesterday that it would RROD once again. I was in the middle of playing some Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and it turned off on me. I didn't know what happened. So I turned it on again and all of a sudden I got the three red lights. I was like oh ****! First I got the E74 error and now I get the RROD? What the heck is up with 360s? Did Microsoft make them this way so they could get there money's worth?
It had to come at the worst time as well! Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming out on Tuesday and my 360 doesn't even work right now. Oh well I guess it looks as though I'll have to call Microsoft again and see what they can do. I got a three year warranty on it, but after the E74 error and now the RROD I'm thinking of saving up my money and just getting a PS3 since its cheaper and I've heard it doesn't give you as many problems as the 360 does.
I guess just like with their operating systems its going to take Microsoft a while to figure out how to get things working properly. So in the meantime I guess its back to playing some of my older consoles until I can get the stupid thing fixed or unless Microsoft gives me a bunch of flack then I'm just going to give up on 360 for good. Thanks for listening everyone and see you on the boards!

Unlucky man, but witha 360 you shouldnt be so surprised with these problems 
I mean my first 360 actually had a Red ring on the very first freakin day!!...then a few days after it then burned my GTA4 disc at that...fortunatly no issues thus far but its least gotten me prepared for the eventual brake down its gonna get.
For the record, i've had my ps3 a year longer and not a single fault

My 360 is actually pretty good I bought it over summer due to my older one RRODing and the warranty was out. My newer one is an Arcade and surprisingly it doesn't get hot at all unless I play it for like maybe 5 to 6 hours at a time.

Ugh, yeah. This is why I'm stickin' to a Wii, DS (maybe DSi in the near future) and a PS3.

get the ps3 man it owns
Posted Nov 7, 2009 12:30 pm PT
Meh, this is why I avoided them. If it's not fixed by now then I can't see MS doing anything about the RROD problem. They're too unreliable. Hope it gets sorted man, but I too will recommend the PS3. Mine's only been bricked once and well, that was my own fault
Posted Nov 7, 2009 1:23 pm PT
That pretty much sucks, this seems to happen all the time with 360 owners. This hasnt happen yet to my 360, i hope it doesnt but, you never know.
Posted Nov 7, 2009 2:13 pm PT
It happens. My bro's 360 has the RROD. Hope you get it sorted.

Ooh, too bad mac. Good thing l didn't have an Xbox. And buying a PS3 was a really good idea. At least you can play with anyone who has a PS3 now (me including 
)
)

I sorry for your 360.Get a PS3.

xbox is just not the machine to tamper with.:p When I play with the xbox it hasn't turned red on me, but everyone else in my family has experinced the red light.
PS3 is much better, but I'd get one of the older ps3's that have backward's compatibility (I have one)
I'm not exactly sure about the wii, the wii doesn't break cause it does not use as much power as an xbox or ps3 but maintains a better market since the seniors, and the young buy it. The wii is also cheap, the online gaming is free. But the wii has no games I'm interested in unless there is SSBB or Legend of Zelda.
Currently I'm playing on my PS3 and I'm enjoying the backward's compatibility, I'm playing devil summoner 2 on it. The PS3 plays devil summoner 2 fine. I've had the PS3 for about 2 years I thinka and I've played it constantly, unlike the wi, and xbox360 I haven't had any probles with it, and even consider the thought that an HD player comes witht he PS3. The PS3 has so much more hardware and software then microsoft and still stands out longer then the xbox. Also the PS3 can upload music, videos, pictures, and you can go on the internet plus some other free stuff plus you can connect your psp to the PS3 and download some major stuff.
But The wii is my second choice to buy i I couldn't afford the PS3 (i I could)

Wow, man. I am gutted for you. Same thing happened to me last year with Gears 2. Hope it is quickly returned to you.
Posted Nov 7, 2009 3:51 pm PT
Sorry to hear that.
That is what I hate about consoles now a days. They are all cheap except for Nintendo. Apparently only Nintendo knows how to make consoles that don't break when you touch them. However, the only down side to the PS3 is how much it costs to repair when it does break.
I hope you get your 360 fixed.

Too bad,I had my 360 for about 1 year now,and I never had a problem with mine.Maybe next year I will start getting problems.Plus I may get a PS3 this Christmas?
Posted Nov 7, 2009 4:21 pm PT
Its why I don't play on my 360 anyway. I'm glad I have a PS3 now.
Posted Nov 7, 2009 4:50 pm PT
yeah you should just buy an elite instead of dealing with that. i got mine it hasnt given me one problem.
Posted Nov 7, 2009 6:55 pm PT
Mine's gone out twice its not fun 
Posted Nov 7, 2009 7:33 pm PT
dude that sucks. i have a wii and it's never had any problems. kinda weird.....
Posted Nov 7, 2009 7:35 pm PT
My friend's 360 just got the E74 error and he is scrambling to get a new one before MW2. I, personally, would never buy a broke box. PS3 has more exclusive games, free online, and doesn't break.
Posted Nov 7, 2009 7:55 pm PT
Im sorry. I know how that feels. Just send it off and get another. hehe. You know you will. Its kind of sad though. Like, id rather keep buying 360s before id get a PS3 or Wii. I had then both too, eh... Anyway, sorry man. That does suck
Posted Nov 7, 2009 7:59 pm PT
Man that sucks I know how you feel man I got that once before got a new one sent to me and I don't exactly play it as much since I got a Wii and PS3
Posted Nov 7, 2009 9:49 pm PT
This thing name 360 sux.Totaly sux.Thats why i sold it.PS3 is tension free.It is the real next gen game.So i will give you advice to buy a PS3
Posted Nov 7, 2009 11:56 pm PT
Thats sucks alot man. Ps3 is definitely better when it comes to not breaking out.
Posted Nov 8, 2009 4:46 am PT
Just send it for repair and be patient, DO NOT buy another one, you spent your hard earned money on a machine that at the very least should provide you with a reasonable amount of years of entertainment, if you buy another you are giving MS another excuse not to get their act together. If it quits on you once more send it for repair again but, once back, just sell it and get a PS3. I swear, MS should do what Sony did and release a redesigned slim 360 with the proper quality control the original 360 should have gotten to begin with.
Posted Nov 8, 2009 7:32 am PT
Really sorry to hear about that, I know it is awful when that thing gets the RROD. But if you wanted you could get a new 360 since they are on sale now too. But...it sounds like you are ready for the PS3 which is fine too. Really great system and you are right it won't give you as much problems either.

Sorry to hear that,hope you get it fixed soon, or get a PS3

at least rrod is covered in the warranty. sucks about the timing though. i wish i could get mw2 tuesday
Posted Nov 9, 2009 11:10 am PT
@everyone: I would comment on what everyone said , but I didn't expect all these comments. Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Posted Nov 9, 2009 8:26 pm PT
This is exactly why I don't plan on buying a 360. My brother got RROD and all they gave him was a repaired 360 and a month of LIVE that he couldn't even use. Lol.
Posted Nov 10, 2009 3:27 pm PT
Oh bythe way did you get the Modern Warfare 2?
Posted Nov 12, 2009 10:19 pm PT
@TristanH12: Yes I did get Modern Warfare 2 although I can't play it right now.

Too bad Mac, but you can always have some fun with other of your consoles there.
Be sure to advice if you will get the PS3
