CescFabregas Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 This is just a question guys... With the Jasper mobo models aside, is it taken for granted that the Xbox 360 (Xenon, Zephyr) WILL die on you some day or the other?? Is the Xbox 360 a mere mortal like us humans??

My xenon mobo lasted for around 3 years But it did die a sad death didn't it? I bought mine more than a year ago. Had no problem yet. *touchwood* (Just to scare you) Mr. Bagpipes.. Be very afraid... Ok then anybody with any advice on how to prolong the life of the thing?

(If it would make this a better thread, mods can change the name of this thread to "My Xbox 360's age") Keep yur box horizontal rather than vertical!! I've place two wooden blocks under my xbox , each on the inside of the vent... This helps in efficient air-ventilation which X360 is robbed off!! Also, try to accommodate yur X360 in an air-conditioned room... It helps alot.. Trust me! And, I've just had one RROD in 4 yrs (that to because of traveling with it)... If yu'll care, it'll last!!

Mine is kept on a computer table, with no ventilation.. finding air conditioned room for rent is bitch.. but mine still works (and hopefully it will till I have enough monies to buy reach edition)!! although first one didn't lasted even a month.. sad demise because of power fluctuation.. this one, just works.. although I do care as to shut it down after every four hours for a few minutes, whenever possible.

Cash Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Why do you all even worry of this sh*t when MS is Providing with a Sex Warranty. How long can max a phone call to the customer care make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long can max a phone call to the customer care make? Yes! even after my 3yr warranty for RRod got over, I called them.. told them I have an RROD.. Instead, I actually had a toasted disc drive (yeah, yeah judge me all yu want)... they sent a new replacement without any further questions! I was compelled to say WOW!!
