Post by: brawndolicious on November 23, 2008, 01:46:55 AM: You should get balls put onto the 360 like Bicentennial Man and then kick it in the balls every time it crashes, gets a DRE, RRoD, etc.
Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: CurseoftheGods on November 23, 2008, 01:51:32 AM: I can't believe that this is the second 360 to red ring on me. Fuck my shitty luck. :lol

Post by: Don Flamenco on November 23, 2008, 02:05:49 AM: how new is the machine? falcon?
Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: CurseoftheGods on November 23, 2008, 02:10:47 AM: Not a Falcon. It lasted about a year, which is more than I could say about my first 360 (one month).

Both were Elites.

Post by: Tabasco on November 23, 2008, 03:19:14 AM: If it's the 3 rings, why aren't you sending it in for repairs? And 2 dead systems is practically virgin territory this gen. When mine die I send them back and abuse Target's 30 day return policy.

Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 23, 2008, 01:35:48 PM: no, jaspers are, although you shouldn't have any problems with falcons, either
Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: CurseoftheGods on November 23, 2008, 02:54:28 PM: The holiday bundles are Falcons, correct?
Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: Don Flamenco on November 23, 2008, 02:58:23 PM: Everything is falcon right now...not sure if any Jaspers are out yet. You won't have problems with falcons though...while running an installed game, the system barely warms up.

Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: CurseoftheGods on November 23, 2008, 07:11:25 PM: Wow. This 360 is so much quieter than my old one even without installs. And the power button is also different for some reason (it's mushy as opposed to clicking).

Post by: Enl on November 23, 2008, 07:29:21 PM: Edit: Nevermind. I should learn to read better.
Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: CurseoftheGods on November 23, 2008, 07:32:59 PM: Yeah, I got another Elite. A friend is buying the extras off of me (eg. controller, 120 GB HDD) so what the hell.
Title: Re: 2ND RED RING
Post by: CurseoftheGods on November 24, 2008, 08:26:50 AM: All 360s manufactured this year have an HDMI port, including Arcade units.

us x360 dead, may have to import a new one as i've a stack of US only games.

What's my safest option ? i assume some sort of arcade pack, but i want to make sure i get a US HDMI machine that's not going to shat it's pants on me within a week. :(

alternatively, i might just up and sell all my US only games and go full on Asian

Pfft. Does that machine not know who you are?! ;)

Actually, Mrs C told me that selling all the US games i have and getting the ones that didn't suck on Asian import seeing as i have two functioning Japanese machines.

So the rapage will be halted somewhat.

can you connect to the U.S. marketplace with a U.S. machine or is that based on your IP?
