My first RRoD
« on: November 29, 2010, 02:27:13 PM »
Last night my Falcon Elite finally bit the dust. It started acting up on Sunday while I was watching an episode of Top Gear on Netflix. Screen just froze. Then yesterday it started to artifact and freeze while playing NFS: Hot Pursuit until it finally checkerboarded upon boot and RRoD.

Still under warranty until February, so UPS just dropped off my return label and I found a coffin for it and it's going back.

BUT. I'm in the market for a 250gig Slim, but the system seems to be sold out EVERYWHERE. Stores can't seem to give away PS3s, but trying to find a new 360 is like trying to find a Wii four years ago.

At least it's better than my two week Samsung Omnia 7 and all that apple juice spilled over it.

This thing really is whisper quiet. Not much "slimmer" than the old model though. Just shorter.

Demi knows the score. Maybe if you babbies would quit spilling your sippy cups on your xboxes you wouldn't have these problems.

It was my second Xbox. I upgraded from a launch 20gig in February 2008. Ran fine until last night.
