no choice at all...
but ppl that interested buying 360 should just buy the asian set only... really pity those ppl that bought their socalled modded 360 from sg wangs shops and ended with 3ROD...

If that would make you support original games, then yes, its true

no need to get confuse anyway~.

mostly 3 rings of death are mostly cause by hardware failure..

yup. heat is the main factor.

but there is other hardware failure as well.. power brrick,, thermal got "melted"

yup. random luck my fren.

trust us here... better go for the 360 comes with 12 months warranty from msoft singapore... not shops warranty ok!

Do remember that, when you have your air cond on, it's cold, but the moment you turn your air cond off, the room warms up. If the cold air hasn't escaped your 360 by then it'll condense and turn into water in your box.

Like I said..spend more times with your gf.....

OFF-TOPIC:
got any job? please count me in. got some clue from my wife that i will get the third person in my family around this year. that will surely increase my expenses. so, if you got any, please inform me too.

Any tips on how to prevent this 3ROD from happen for the newcomers like me (play for about 2 hours and rest for half an hour?).

Thanks.

This problem sucks. Wii doesn't have big blue light of death, PS3 doesn't have making crabs sounds problem. Why 360 like that wan! Btw, is the new batch of 360s that will have no 3ROD problem be a redesign or the same thing?

aisey, still now news meh ??...Freaking MS !!!!...i think they goyang kaki only lar they..they wait until u faddup then u buy new 360....

Btw...any of u guyz that send ur warranty back to MS got back ur console or not ???...and till how long it last until 3ROD comes back again ?

Well guys, I have officially join this topic. My 360 just died on me last week, took it to Bro Djin's shop hoping there's a solution to it. Wat happen was the machine keep on freezing on me regardless weather im playing arcade games, let the machine run or any particular discs. The machine just keeps on freezing.

I've decided to get a new one, sending my problematic one back to Japan (for repair).Haiiii...there goes my intention to grab Wii and PS3.

Oh if you guys are wondering it's Jap set, I think 1st batch. Shit man feel so crappy and lost now. And on top of that Lost Planet on the way.......shiiiiiiiittt.

Cheers guys!

sorry to hear about your 3ROD... i am just praying hard my 1st batch japanses set also healthy... support originals but everyday also living in fear

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

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...

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...

my japanese virgin 360 can play all my ahem dvds but i just testing only dont dare lah later the lens kaput

Hmm. Checked my manufacturing date:

21st April 2006.

Will this impact my future? Will the ROD come and haunt me?
Stay tuned!
