New site? Maybe some day.

So for the second fucking time in 2 years, I go to turn on my 360 to relax and play some games and I get the single red light E74 error.
I've looked up some info on fixes, but there is simply no way I'm going to try opening the box or wrapping it in towels until it overheats on purpose.
My fucking NES from the 80s still works like a charm, yet I can't get Microsoft to replace my $300 console for one that won't shit the bed. Not to mention, Microsoft won't pay for the shipping of the console anymore.
Eat a dick. |
|
get the new ps3 slim for $300 instead |
|
I'm fucking dreading the day this happens to mine. |
|
My 360 keeps freezing and is no longer playable. They said the 3 year warranty only qualifies for hardware failures but really isn't my 360 freezing a hardware failure? In one way or another it has to be. They want to charge me $99.99 to have the thing fixed. I think I might just switch over to PS3 when I get some money.
Ohh also the failure rate on the XBox 360 at 54.2% while PS3 is 10.6% and the Wii is 6.8%

The newest system that I use is a SNES and I am completely content with it. |
|
PocketNester on a Palm Treo Pro FTW |
|
Also FYI for about 4 years my G4 has had one freezing error and in 2 years my Windows Vista Dell has crashed dozens of times, including twice this week.
Food for thought. |
|
This is why I play PC games. Every game that I want to play on the 360 I can play on my PC and with better graphics.
|
|
Microsoft knows about the 50% failure rate of the XBox 360. |
|
and evidently do not give a fuck it would appear. |

SNES is easily the best console of all time because it had the best games of all time. My only problem with it is the controller. Don't own one though. |
|
Any idea how much it costs to ship a 360? Gotta be like $50 after insurance or something.
Just read that it can sometimes because by the A/V Cable--and i noticed that I don't get the error if my A/V cable is unplugged. Interesting. |
|
I got the RROD on Saturday. Did the towel trick. Worked. |
|
So I was contemplating on buying a 360. I'm well aware of the massive failure rate, but I was under the impression that Microsoft was replacing everything no problem. Is this not the case? |
|
Just make sure you get a brand NEW console as they already took care of this problem in the new models. |
|
funny, i don't remember having any errors like this on my NES, Genesis, SNES, or gameboy.
Oh wait, that's right. Those are the real systems, not a pseudo-computer. |

They extended the warranty to 3 years, BUT its only for RROD or the single-light E74 error. AND they used to pay for the shipping both ways and don't anymore...cheap fucks. |

if you buy a brand new console from the store, you'll be fine. They realized what was wrong and fixed it. Don't buy a used system from gamestop and you'll be fine. |
|
or just buy a ps3 for $300 |
|
definitely go with a brand new 360. no matter the failure rate, its still better than PS3. |
|
the failure rate is higher on the xbox for one reason....because the play rate is friggin insane. more people sit on the xbox for 5-10 hours a day. nobody does that on any other system. so yah, they will shit out. lol. |
