got an Elite a while back and it's still all good. I was hoping to get a 65nm one, hmm... i just got an idea :) Anyways, so i'll be crossing my fingers that everything is going ok. :) I had a premium back in the days and nothing happened to that one too after about 10 months of use. Worked like a champ.

i'm on my 3rd console now... a little annoying how much time was lost from the sending / receiving process.

I almost wish they would fix this problem to a 1% error margin, and just REPLACE these consoles, rather then changing the motherboard when they "repair" them

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?

I have an originally designed Pro which I got in Nov 06. It hasn't had any issues yet but my brothers one he got in Jan 07 had a RROD about a month ago. To be honest I'd rather mine died sooner rather than later. It seems innevitable it will one day keel over and I'd rather it happened while it was still covered.

I don't use it too heavily mind you.

I have the launch Premimum system and it red ringed 2 weeks ago. Will be attempting the X-clamp replacement tomorrow.

The overall design of the thing is a joke. A metal caging and the fans don't run after it's shut off. Looks nice on the outside, but when you rip it apart, you wonder what the hell they were thinking.

Bought mine January 06 (Dec 05 manufacture date). Been Flawless as of yet with moderate to heavy use. I guess technically it RROD'd on me once: the first time I put a game in, but that happened to be because through all my excitement of having actually found one, I had it sitting on the carpet...needless to say I took it off and haven't had any problems since.

I had a Dec. 2005 console...which I just used my Best Buy replacement plan on...not because of the RROD, but because the drive tray wouldn't open any more. Outside of that, no issues other than the occasional disc read error (which may have been to the disc drive problem).

I have the new 65nm Falcon series, manfu. date Dec. 2007. :D

This is my son's machine history.

How many have you had? Five

How long have you owned your console? The first or the fifth?

Do you have the original design or the new Falcon 65nm core? The first was an original

Although MS has given several games in exchange for the problems and down time, five machine failures seems to most people, to be an excessive failure rate.

1 RRoD

Since last Christmas. So about one year

Original

Pro

It was a couple days after I bought it. I was playing Gears of War and it just froze up and I could see some pink artifacts and it wouldn't respond to anything. So I had to hold the power button and it finally shut off and rebooted but only to the Red Ring of Death. Took it to the store I bought it at(MicroCenter) and they gave me a new one no problem.

Since I've had the new one I think it froze once but it didn't RR

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
