Dirk Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Well my luck with just horrible with consoles lately. In the past three months I have had both my PS3 and 360 break. Because today after downloading the Halo Wars demo it red ringed on me. :( This was my second one. My first launch console kept freezing so they replaced it with this one. It was a February 06 model that I got in September of that year so it lasted a pretty long while. Guy said it would take about two weeks to repair once they received it. The best part is that it doesn't cost anything because of their warranty. Maybe they will fix the DVD drive while they have it. I'm just glad I ordered Street Fight IV for the PS3. Although I am sad that I won't be able to try Halo Wars. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawasabi Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This sucks man. Hope you get it back soon. Mine was a launch box and got the rrod with the NXE update. Now it's collecting dust in the back of my room. But will take a look at it when RE5 comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 What also really sucks, that I forgot, is that I can't watch Netflix on my TV anymore. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey B. Veteran Posted February 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2009 thats odd my brother in laws 360 died today after installing the halo wars demo as well. i think perhaps it might have something against the older 360s or just the demo hates existing who knows. at least he said the game was good before it died.

Dirk Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 I started downloading it and then turned the console off so it would keep downloading in the background. When I started it later that is when it broke. So I didn't even get to see it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InPCHell Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i got a new arcade system today and noticed the damn things drive is LOUD :/ After my 4th console broke (3RLOD), I picked up an Arcade. Already had a 120GB HDD so I plugged it in and WOW it is whisper quiet. All my other 360s were like jet engines. The new Arcade was barely noticeable.

Testrum Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 That suck's man. My roommate installed the Halo Wars demo on my 360 the other day and it worked just fine. This April, specifically my birthday (the 19th), I will have owned my 360 for 2 year's and I'm just waiting for my 360 to RROD lol. My buddy at my local game store sent his 360 in after it red ringed, waited 2 weeks for it too repair just to get another defective unit sent to him by MS.

Dirk Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well it seems like they were pretty quick. They say my console is going to be shipped back to me today. They got it on Tuesday so I don't really know if they fixed it or they are just sending me a new one. I hope it is a new one. The DVD drive was on it's way out of the old one anyway.

DR3AMxCATCHER Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Then why did you even click on the thread much less reply? Why click on it? It's hilarious watching everyone cry about it. It happens to everyone so no need for threads like this. Might as well be named "Cry me a river, my 360 RROD!!" I can reply if I want too, that's all the reason I need to give.
