Those of you with (or without) problems please detail.

How many have you had?

How long have you owned your console?

Do you have the original design or the new Falcon 65nm core?

Is it a Core, Arcade, Pro, Elite, Halo, etc?

And please keep this discussion only to the effects of Xbox problems -- 360 vs PS3 vs Wii discussion or any other type of "platform bashing" will not be tolerated!

I've had 3 360's fail - I'm currently on my 4th 360. Each failure was down to the RROD.

The first one was a launch console that lasted around 6-7 months.

The second one was a refurb which I sold (I later found out that this console too RRODed shortly after selling it - MS replaced it though).

The 3rd Console was bought new (had a 2006 manufacture date) but it died with the RROD about a month after the 12 month warranty expired. Luckily it died shortly after Microsoft?s announcement so I got it replaced with....

Xbox 360 number 4 - was a replacement console from Microsoft, has a mid 2007 manufacture date (so I took it that Microsoft started replacing the dead machines with new ones). So far this machine has been OK:unsure:e:

Each console that died was a core.

I have 2 original 360s; both over a year old. One died on my the Friday before Xmas. I have submitted the online "out of warranty" repair for RROD and have yet to receive a response from them. Thankfully I do have a second working 360 but I'm concerned as to how long that will last. Hopefully until I receive my other one back. And hopefully i'll receive the new falcon .

I have only owned Elite so far...bought it right after it was launched, I think sometime April 2007. Actually in May. :)

Zero freezes, no problems whatsoever. Only couple of networking glitches that I solved by changing my DNS servers.

I have two 360 Premium units and both got the RROD after about 10 months. The first replacement is still working ok for about 4 months now. I do find myself doing a good luck dance before powering them on. I'm still waiting to get my second 360 replacement back from MS :(

i havent bought mine yet but my cousin's just got the RROD recently. Over a year before he had problems. My buddy has had to get 3 replacements due to faulty cables and things like that. My mom doesnt think I should get one if they have so many problems but I plan on it anyway

My launch day console RROD'd after 9 or 10 months (right as they extended the warranty period for the first time, to one year).

It was replaced under warranty, took about 3 days to get the replacement which has worked flawlessly thus far.

I also have a second 360 that I bought around the same time the first one died (for a different room), which sees less use but has also been fine.

I'll soon be selling one of them to replace it with a Falcon-based Elite.

Buy a new one (with the "Go Pro" or "Go Big" box, which should be a Falcon model) and you'll have absolutely nothing to worry about.

On my second.

My launch console lasted 2 years+.

My new 360 is the Falcon 65nm.

Launch console was a Premium, new 360 is a Pro.

I'm on my third Xbox 360.

First machine was a UK launch day Premium and that failed with RROD literally days before the 1 year warranty ran out on it (this was before Microsoft announced the 3 year warranty). Replaced that with another Premium machine which lasted about 7 months before suffering from DVD drive failure and my third is an Elite, which touch wood I haven't had any major problems with yet.

Fortunately (unfortunately?) I work at GAME which means replacements have always been easy to arrange. I've never once had to deal with Microsoft regarding any of my 360s.

Yup, I've owned a 360 since mid-2006 and it's died on me with the red ring of death. A week later I was able to use it for about a week, and then it died again. When Halo 3 came out, I got that and put the disc in my 360. I did the update via the disc (because my 360's not online), and then shut down because I was going to eat. I came back to try out Halo 3 for the first time, and I was greeted with a red ring of death.

Of course I thought all those rumors about Halo 3 killing 360's was true because of this, but after a while it just seemed like everyone's was dying anyway. For example, a friend of mine's 360 died just 2 weeks prior. I didn't think it would happen to me, though, but hey I guess I got all the luck. I don't know anyone else with a 360, so that makes it 2 for 2. I didn't try any tricks to get it back to life, I was too ****ed off to do anything about it because it cost so much, and also because I bought Halo 3 on launch.

Anyway... I then bought an Elite because I figured I might as well get one with HDMI and also to get a 360 that was built from the ground up to not have the same kind of heat problems that earlier models had. Then I read on the 'net that the Elites didn't necessarily have the smaller more efficient (and therefore cooler) CPUs that were going to end the RRoD problems once and for all. Screwed again. Speaking of screwed, I also played Halo 3 all the way through on my Elite and well, it wasn't worth going out and buying another system for, that's for sure. It didn't make me any happier or wow me any more than Halo 2 (which I liked, to be fair) that's for sure.

Personally I blame these problems on an early launch. MS really rushed to get the 360 out early, because this was their big plan to get a jump on Sony and Nintendo. I guess it worked out badly because by rushing the system, they didn't allow themselves enough time to test their designs out under duress, and they didn't get the kinks all out of their design.

My PS3 is still working, nobody I know of has any problems with that. My Wii's working fine too, that thing is probably as solid as a brick. (Yeah, I have all the systems, don't want to miss any exclusives.) Next time, make sure you do the job right MS! Yeah I spend more than I should on video games (but at least I don't spend any on PCs or upgrades, I just have one box for browsing), but I ain't made out of money!

Speaking of which, does anyone think that MS would still accept returns for old RRoD 360's? I figured I might as well at least get mine fixed and sell it off to make back some of that money I spent on the Elite... I didn't do it in the first place just because I didn't want to have the same problem again with a system that broke in the first place, and also because I wanted to try Halo 3 finally and didn't really want to wait.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
