I had a launch console. Worked great up until Thanksgiving this year. It got the RROD so I sent it in for repair. I got it back and 3 days later got the RROD again, but this time it continued working so I haven't sent it back yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time though.

I'm on my 4th 360. First one started locking up after the warranty expired. Went out and bought a core. That worked for about 3 months. Then i turned it on one day to receive a nice red flashing light and a very friendly message with an error code of 69. Booo. Sent it back to MS and got a replacement. About 2 weeks after getting the replacement, it stopped reading any of my xbox1 originals. Called for RMA, and whilst waiting for the box it stopped reading some of my regular 360 discs (which were unscathed, with little to no scratches). I received that replacement in August. That one, is still working ok (Knock on wood). All of these were the regular chipset (not falcon) and the new one does NOT have the additional heatsinks and stuff that MS has been putting in some replacements. So 4 in just under 2 years. Bleehh..... :no:

I don't see any poll there :s

Top right-hand corner of Neowin, you don't see a poll there?

What browser are you using?

As for the question at hand, I had one RROD and sold the box when it was fixed along with all accessories. I never did much gaming to begin with, so my life really hasn't been that affected without it.

1st Console: Original (premium)

Ran for 15 months before the dreaded RROD

awaiting the coffin to ship it back in.

I have a coworker who is on console #6

1st Console: Original (basic -launch day console)

2nd Console: Original (basic)

3rd Console: Original (basic)

4th Console: Original (basic)

5th Console: Original (Premium)

6th Console: Falcon 65nm (4 months and going strong)

I wouldn't count on definitely getting a new one. They've repaired mine twice for RROD, I still have the original one I bought on launch day. :/

This is why I'm glad I live in Canada. Our consumer protection laws stipulate defective electronics must be replaced, not repaired.

I bought a Premium back in Nov 2006, and I've only had 1 RROD. The rest have been various other issues.

For those interested, I've given an approximate timeline for the replacements and repairs.

1st replacement around February due to random hangs during gameplay -- only started after playing Gears of War. :p

2nd replacement around June due to RROD.

3rd replacement around October to fix random not turning on, E-codes and "disk is dirty" messages.

4th time was a repair around November to fix "disk is dirty" messages.

0 RR0D, but i have sent my 360 back twice to be "repaired" because the disc drive enjoys scratching my games.

I got Assassin's Creed for christmas, popped it in my 360, played it for literally 30 minutes before it was all scratched up...

I got it in January of 07.

Bought one in may, had no RRODs, but a couple of weeks ago it started displaying everything wrong; ie not at all. I then arranged a repair from microsoft (on the 15th Dec), so that they'd send me a box to send it back to them in, yet I still havent recieved said box. Given that they want it within 20 days I'm getting a bit (impatient and) peeved, but I'm guessing its something to do with the christmas post..

I purchased my first Xbox360 in December 2006.

It suffered the Red Ring of Death in September 2007 and was replaced exactly one month later.

My second replaced Xbox360 I received in October of 2007 has now begun exhibiting disk tray malfunction as of today.

That means my first Xbox360 failed within 9 months and my second Xbox 360's disk drive is failing after only 3 months.

No RROD, but my 360 Elite's optical drive failed with an Open Tray error after less than two weeks. It was a hitachi drive in a Falcon. Pretty poor, its back to the shop tomorrow, should be as simple as straight replacement with a new one as its within its 28 days. Hope I can keep my HDD though, game saves and all :(

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • 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 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.
