I bought my XBOX 360 20th november 2006.Until november 2007,my screen frozen when I was playing NBA LIVE 08.Initially I thought it was only minor problem and I dont even to care about it,a week later,my screen frozen again in my dashboard.I turned it off and start switching it back again,no picture,only the buzzling sound and flash the 3 red lights.By then,I know it is the end of my lovely 360 but I dint give up,.I send back to the shop and get it fixed ,yes, it is fixed after repairing for two weeks,but it still come with RROD after few days later.Again,I send back again for couple of weeks.Anyhow,it still came back WITH RROD after sometime.I am already tired fighting this RROD,now I give up.



The old 360 still at my home now and I put it in my house store room.I now only playing my PSP.

But the owner of the shop offer to trade in back my old 360 and I get the new one probably Falcon Chip 360.But I have to pay RM1100 to get a new one.

I love my 360 so much.Can you all pro XBOX gamers give me the opinions?I plan to get the new one before Chinese New Year. :

RRoD is immortal!! my opinion is don't get it. somedays you might become a person like this:

Hey dude, just so you know that you're not alone. I think most people are having the same problem. I plan to sell mine as well. FOC 2 games. Anyone interested? Under warranty of course.

Mine has been 3RODed before. But there are people in the Xbox thread who can help. And some can help to retune ur mobo if you are hit by 3ROD.

Like me, I will retune the MB if i get hit by 3ROD. And so far so good, i am still maxing out the lifespan of my Xbox360.

I got my xbox on April 2006.

Virgil is now having my Xbox, and things look bleak.

If I get 3ROD'ed again, I'm not gonna bother with this machine anymore. I'll wait till a fuss-free version comes out on the market.

Now the new xbox all come with Falcon Mobo, is very low low low chance to get 3ROD oredi , cos thet cooler anything is improve!

they IMPROVED... but still GOT 3ROD.. so what the point.... i want 360 FREE with 3ROD. that all... ... come on pakcik pagar.. design new 360 with free 3ROD..

Can give it to me???

buy xenon, die, top up get zephyr
buy zephyr, die, top up get falcon
buy falcon, die, top up get jasper
infinite loop!?

u know some MS engineer is getting a raise when ori supporters and uncle ho fans are buying multiple consoles

if my console can't be fixed, i'll hold out for a jasper if it's RROD free.

if not, i'll jump ship to the ps3.

i think u must jump for ps3.. sold urs to me...

Thanks to you all respectful XBOX gamer for giving me the opinions,i really appreciate it!!!!




Most of you all XBOX expert seem like dont recommend me to get another "Falcon" 360

But I heard from Internet that they say the new "Falcon" is much more stable to RROD now!

I am really confuse about it.I dont know what should I do.Can you all respectful XBOX gamers guide me and help me to make the best decision?Thanks!!

I need more suggestion and replies from you all pro XBOX gamer.

I am not a smart gamer and I need yours guide.

Go get Falcon set, because this is the first Xbox 360 Console that used 65nm CPU/ 80nm GPU, MS already redesign cooling system/add extra cooling fan and used quality solder. So more reliable than the previous one (xenon & zephyr, Zephyr V2) that used both CPU & GPU 90nm chipset and using cheap solder. Solder and heat are the main cause of RROD as far am i concern. In my experience played almost 4 hours on Falcon, only warm a bit, compare to my old x360 (xenon) played one hour but hot like hell.

aiya, as I said RRoD is immortal, you should expect it would return again

wait for Jasper, or buy ps3

the way i see it, the Falcon is probably a safe bet. Its got a redesigned cooling system (while Jasper as of now just seems to be a shift to the 65nm GPU to save costs) which was meant to take care of the overheating problem. Yes there are Falcons with RRODs, but if I'm not mistaken, the 360 is designed to RROD the moment something goes wrong. Say you blow an ethernet port, you get RROD. Of course, no product is flawless.

jesper? no need to wait for that. im using falcon and it's so cool already

i think you should ask proper channel to fix it...
maybe you can find virgil... he is quite expert on fixing 3ROD...

u want dead 360?i have one,but without dvd drive(sold).other accessories/parts still there.give-up with 360

even judge-the give up xbox360 and bought ps3.

coz all of us wan fuss free products....

My friend,are you sure that the Falcon will very stable to 3Rod and no need to wait for Jasper?
But got some of our friends said 3ROD sickness cannot be cure.Even the Falcon still have possible(it should be very low i think) to get 3ROD.Do you worry that the 3Rod might take your falcon 360's life away one day?

I experienced it.Before my old 360 get 3rod,I everyday worried that when my 360 will dead.But finally,it really happened to me.
It can be describe that like I putting a ticking bomb in my house and I dont know when this bomb(Xbox 360) will blow up.Every second I played means my 360 will die close to every second. This kind of feeling is really suffer for a gamer like me,I am pretty sure that most Xbox 360 owner have this kind of feeling.Is it?

Tell you all honestly,I never enjoy my gaming time since I bought the 360.I dont really enjoy the gaming but my feeling is only filled with fear and worries.

Not like Playstation 2 before,I enjoy my Final Fantasy X straight 4-5 hours.My feeling is only filled with happiness and satisfication.Because I dint worry that when this Playstation 2 will broke.I miss that kind feeling when playing game,no worry.no fear,only worry that I cant fight win Master Seymour and Sin!!

But now,only worry worry and worry!!Tell me,when can I find back that kind of feeling in this Next Generation Gaming Era?really sad..............

^ i think jasper will come in another 6 months. the next 6 months, got any 360 games that u MUST play immediately? if don't have, then wait. i'm also waiting for jasper. i buy mostly 2nd hand games now but still looking forward to LO this month

hmm maybe you can buy PS3...
but for me... i enjoy lo... i don really worry...
but suddenly pop up last Sunday... i'm sad...
now worry that when i can get a replacement from MS...

Haha... b4 i bought mine a xboom360, me really worry about the 3rod, bought another table fan to blow the machine, but after few day, my worried was gone, who care about the 3rod, finish all the game u got first,it not died yet, then bought another game then finish it.... again n again..... my last title i finish is Conan, game time is 7~8 hour, in this 8 hour, i m really enjoy it, why we need to worry about it. My next target will be Lost Odyssey, hope i can finish it b4 hit by 3rod.

the 360 was designed badly, that's a fact. a university in japan had a paper about how badly it was designed that the heat couldnt dissipate fast enough. thus another way to cure it is to design a system that produces less heat thus the falcon. the gpu and cpu are both shrunk in die sizes and use less power. 3ROD? heh, i have the 3 years warranty so who cares.

i'm buying the PS3, really hate of what had happened to my 360

For All Xbox 360 buyers they already known the fact that all xbox 360 will have the 3 ROD System, if you are not ready to believe that this is a fact in your heart (or brain)

don't get Xbox 360! Get Something Else in mind! which doesn't not cause you worried.

Console are for entertainment . So Choose Wisely.

Mine almost a year and half since i bought from you and so far no problem. Should i be happy or worried?

oh yea for good measure....

/touch wood

of course should be happy la.

where can you buy those "online gaming experience" all must be "felt" want mah

some more machine no problem, just kept on enjoying the console only.

as me also said liaw... whats the point of worrying when you are having so much fun in xbox live.

and yeah,,

touch wood for all xbox 360 user.

get the ps3, and you will "find back that kind of feeling in this Next Generation Gaming Era"

i still safe.. till now.. ..

**touch wood** again...

They better fix their online capability fast!

and I want home!

soon ... HOME will cuming... but before that.. play online with free service... = "heaven"... ...

no doubt about that man~

I'm looking forward to Home as well... according to their E3 presentation, every user will get their own personal space in Home. It's like Second Life with free real estate.

Whats wrong its online capability??

their networking,

don't know why I always connected to a good ping.. then all a sudden drops to like 800 ping..

game such as unreal, resistance...

unreal cannot played man.. 700 ping.. kept dieing..

nah, not really. i paid $32 (after google checkout discount) for 13 months and never thought about it anymore... it's a better service than ps3s, and u cant deny that

that's what u get for paying nothing. you get nothing hahaha

j/k j/k j/k

if u want it badly,just buy a new one..
same as me,i bought it and only played it for a day, ONE DAY! and RROD came out..damn..so unlucky..now still waiting for replacement and finding spare console..

It is possible is u dint pay Streamyx bill??? JK
Possible is the broadband line not stable??
