x360 is veri hot la...i purposely open casing to let my fan blow it lol~!

Me also thinking to do that too... just now i play every 45 minute will stop for 10 minute.... set my alarm ring every 45 minute... then my table fan non stop working for it....

Well it's official. As of half an hour ago, my friend's Asian 360 flashed the ROD.

It's dead. Not modded, well ventilated, and it still died.

Tomorrow we're taking it to Connie to see what (if anything) she can do. Now I'm looking at mine and thinking if I should tell my fiance it may not have been a good idea to get me one...

Another X0 die !!! Still virgin !!

if unmodded assian then just send back to SG still got hope nothing to worried. only those buying modded 360 should be very worry.

someties, I do wonder why several of unmodded user get 3rod after updating their machines???? Is there any possibility that those sellers modifying the firmwares of 360 according to the market demands...if there ares more demands for modded version, they will mode the machine...but if it happen otherwisw, they will try to revert back to the original firmware...the question now, would it leave any trace of modification to the prying eyes of microsoft authority????

hmm....perhaps our hot & humid equatorial climate doesn't agree well with a 360.
i know ppl here will laugh at me, but i wrap my set in P-A bubblewrap when its cooled down & not being played

^ LoL the wrapping is because of dust factor. my 4 yr old ps2 damn dusty both outside & inside. those P-A bubblewrap is the perfect size, just cut some space for the power cord, i unplug the video cable everytime

also i seldom switch off the set right after a game, i leave it on dashboard for a few minutes b4 shutting it down (the air coming out at the back is cooler when it's idle)


i think if u r ready to game for a few hours (4~6h), just play it in 1 session. playing and stopping for frequent cooling breaks might introduce extreme hot-cold cycles and further stress those weak solder points.

what is our right as a malaysian consumer i hope some one with brilliant ideas come out with solution or piracy will be the solution............

just want to share my painful journey with fellow 360.......

Hai guys just got a new set of 360 from Bro Djinn,not plannin 2 play 2nite still phobia leh. Waitin 2 give a proper burial for my first console (she serves me well!).Goin 2 hantar for 'medical checkup' do no bila boleh baik.

Meanwhile waiting patiently for Lost Planet.......to be con't

Cheers!

syuji also sent to SG and already more than a month still nothing. yours 2 months already... how come so bad... we all here spent every penny available on originals and yet got this kind of treatment from them


you sending it back tp japan? update us later

Yeah bro judge, my friend's 360 and mine came from the same shop (Imbi Mario) although he bought his in May or June 2006. Last night I spent some time just looking at the console, not daring to play it cause if there's a bloody random 6 month life expectancy for it I pity my fiance for spending so much money on something like that We'll be going to Imbi today to see if we can still send it to sg...damn.

I don't know if this will ever change my stance towards originals - I know it's MS' inexperience at manufacturing at work, but come on! People spend hard earned cash on this!

OT: Sony still has manufacturing mastered. No doubt.

yet another victim....sometimes i feel that even i bought a new one, i still live in fear. maybe it's time to migrate to other console....PS3 perhaps. but the console is quite expensive, maybe i have to wait until the next gen price war start.

OFF-TOPIC: is there any serious problem like this in PS3 and wii? i dont think wii have because the hardware is not that powerful if compare to 2 other console.

p/s feel like very pasrah...

Pasrah is the word my friend, and also PARAH.

Yeah, OT: I have not heard of the PS3's Weak Point Crabs of Death or Wii Sexy Blue light of death either.

So now everytime I turn on the 360, it's with a little prayer...

yeah yeah...true...it's feel like counting the green light. i do like this everytime i boot my x360: 1....2.....3....4.....yeahhhh...it's booting.

PS3 also got lar. read about it somewhere

Lucky i m still not sell off my ps2 yet, at least if my X0 die , ps2 still can comfort for me... anyway hope this 3ROD will not happen anymore for all X0 player....... GOD BLESS

X0 ....is it xbox360 aka x360? sorry...i'm a noobie as shown in my post count.

its funny how my little xbox has turned me into a superstitous freak.

my set barely 3 mths old and yes its modded. ( i know the risk of banhammer and 3RoD when i did this) i even joked with andy when i bought it that i hoped it'll tahan until an official Msia launch when i can get a core set with warranty

i dont have aircon or ceiling fan, only a measly tabletop fan on a corner of room. i just make sure the box & power brick gets plenty of room. i elevate it using chinese chess pieces on the floor in front of the tv, and put it away nicely when not in use. (hence, the bubblewrap pyjammas to take care of dust & humidity ) sometimes, i even check & feel the temperature of its exhaust air.

i just try reading some xbox-scene forums fr time2time and see how they doing with their heatgun treatment and dunno what reflow solder process (i actually have no technical clue what's that abt). actually the failure rate here is pretty similar to the bob.sg forums. dunno whether is environment related or purely hardware related? like someone said, we seldom hear a jpn gamer b****ing abt 3RoD or 90 days warranty. mb becos, jpn gamers only b**** in jpn forums which most of us dont understand?

its not all doom & gloom. many always-gaming owners celebrate their box 1st anniversary. those demo units at GH practically work around the clock. hopefully, 3RoD is not majorly threatened by old house electrical wiring or TNB power supply issues.

Good point bro.

I also am a bit at a loss as to how to improve the positioning of the xbox. Observe my setup:

So got wind, got ventilation from outside, some more got so much space around the 360. How else? Howwww?
