Wow.

41 Multiples

47 Once

102 Flawless

That's a 46% or Neowin members that claim to have had one or more RRODs (poll is self-selecting, subject to fraudulant clicks, and not implemented in an accurate or scientific way)

Still, interesting, none-the-less.

Mines has had 1 RROD but I was given it that way with a voided warranty so I used the XClamp mod to fix it and it's been running fine since :)

Owned it now about 5 months

Original Model

It's a Core system but I plan to add the HDD at a later date :)

How long have you owned your console? One month, 15 days.

Do you have the original design or the new Falcon 65nm core? Original. Checking MS forum to see how I could tell the difference, it seems the label on the box was covered with a label that had less info. Checked the power brick and it's 203W.

Lucky you! I have an extended warranty with Harvey Norman, took the console back to them and they said they would replace it with a brand new one, but soon as we mentioned RROD was the problem they said the warranty doesn't cover it, contact MS (which we have, but they are on holiday so gotta wait for them to come back so we can send the dead console in)..I wish we got it through EB now :p at least they don't seem to give you the run around...

I've had two 360's first one (Premium) from release date in the UK (End of November 05 sometime) and the 2nd one which is a Falcon unit (Pro) from 2 months ago, sold my original 360 to a mate and both are still working perfectly, never had any RROD problems!

I'm currently on my 3rd 360. My first one (bought 3rd December 2005) overheated after 2 weeks, but I got it back repaired in time for Christmas. It then broke 8 months later, where I got a new one from Microsoft. Then early on this year, I had to buy another one, which is the one I currently own. This wasn't due to the RRoD, but because the console was banned from Xbox Live ;)

I've owned my current one for about 7 months now.

I've got the original chip design.

It's a Pro one. I've got no plans to upgrade to the Elite.

Yeah. In the poll I linked to earlier, 42% of people were on their 2nd or more 360. If anyone ever thought the billion dollars MS put aside for this was a bit extreme, just take a look at those numbers and you can see that it will cost that much just to cover the RRODs.

Had 1 RROD; returned it about a week later and got it back a week or so after that. Actually, I should say that I got back a different, refurbished model, but it was in mint condition anyway and had a quieter dvd drive (the one on my other 360 broke as well, at the same time, incidentally). I still think they should send you more than just a free month of xbox live for the time and effort.

As a side note, I wish it had happened after the HDMI 360s came out. I don't think its fair to the older customers to just suddenly include it with the system and offer little alternative besides the vga cables for everyone else.

Halo 3 Special Edition console given to my son for Christmas, already scratched a ring around a Rock Band disc. It was positioned horizontal, wasn't moved, bumped, or otherwise jarred neither while playing nor while turned off. I was in the room playing when it happened.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Sekyal · Posted

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
