does putting the console in horizontal or vertical have anything to do with the rod issue ?

Yea, Wii graphic more like ps2, but I'm eyeing on a Wii and Xbox for the games, not graphics.

Aside, falcon does still 3ROD but less, not much reported on 3ROD yet, like I said.

I doubt so, because the box is design to be able to stand upright and be used lying down also. I guess you need airflow which is clear. I have a friend who use standing fan and directly blowing at it, in air conditioned room some more.

Well, games are important. Buy console is because of games, second by graphic for me, but PC, vice versa.

Well, turn off the console before you move it, thats why. They move the xbox from lying position to standing and vice versa when its on and running, and the disc is spinning, thats why. The disc will hit the lens holder and scratch the dise. If you noticed, some of the optical drives have dampers on the top, but most of them do not have them now as the module is mounded lying down and never be moved, like how our pc's optical drives are.

So, turn it off before you flip it.

So yesterday some of my friends drop by at my house to play some games....we always enjoy playing Dead of Alive 4(Fighting game). I turn on my xbox360 and it ran fine. After playing a few rounds.....suddenly my x360 hanged!! i restart the system, and the next thing i knew....3 RED LIGHTS OF DEATH!!! for people who dont know what RROD, 3 red lights of death...it means my x360 is dead and will never start up again.

The worse thing is this is the second time my x360 got RROD...last time it cost me RM250 for repairs and it took 2 months to repair.....My advice to future console buyer....don't ever buy a x360. Buy a Ps3 or wii, it is much safer. I am not planning on spending another RM250 for repairs again.....
At least i still have my PS3 to play....going to buy GTA4 soon too.

I think this thread should move to Xbox section or just close it, he is not the only one got hit by 3rod, he open the thread tell us his xbox360 hit by 3rod again, ya, he is not the first one, i m not sure his repair is send to Singapore' Microsoft for claim, spend the postage fee n service charge around rm250 or he just send it to the local ppl repair it which cost rm250?
I wonder what is the purpose TS open the thread, he is not trying get help from someone after his xbox360 hit by 3rod for second time, he choose to play PS3 than it. So what r we discussing here again??? Repeat it n repeat again the same thing......

agreed. too many similar and redundant threads here.

Console couch should be a place with overall view about console gaming, not a specific console discussion.

everybody is talking how the legendary 3ROD/3ROL related to 65nm or 45nm technology. can anyone relate how the 65nm or 45nm technology related to 3ROL/3ROD?

as far as I know the 65nm or 45nm technology is the process of shrinking the transistor size to have a better dice per wafer where more logic transistor can be embedded to the wafer.

of course in between the process if the leakage issue is not tackle then thermal will be an issue.

so back to the legendary 3ROD/3ROL issue, can someone explain how the x-clamp solution related to the 65nm or 45nm process technology?
