RRoD Is Truly Frightening

This, yes this, is what we've been waiting for: The Red Ring of Death jack-o'-lantern. According to reader Zhao:

 

 

Every gamer's worst nightmare... the center fell out and had to be taped *cries due to lack of skill*

 

 

It's like the mouth of Hell.

thanks for the tip man ! will hold buying this for some more time then.

 

edit: even in the reviews, they said the same thing - 'what u see in videos is the result of hours of practising, to pull such feats in one sitting is extremely difficult' !

As you can see from the Gamestop mem we obtained, Gamestop is no longer offering Xbox360 Product Replacement Plans on any new console. The plans currently out there will stay good until they expire. When we asked our source why this is happening, we were told it was because GS is losing too much money on the program!

 

An interesting user comment:

I don't think you fully understand the statistics or the true problem with the Xbox 360 RROD problem. Let me explain.

 

Originally there were three factories that produced Xbox 360 systems. Of the three factories, ONE of them produced a lot of defective systems. In fact, virtually every system produced from that factory will inevitably become defective at some eventual point in time, because the problem had to do with the production process at that particular factory, not individual Xbox 360 systems. That is the reason why stupid people often say "The Xbox 360 has a 33% defect ratio." Thankfully, that is NOT true.

 

The factory that had a major problem in the production process did not produce an "equal" number of systems as the other two factories. In fact, the factory that had the problems with their production process produced the smallest number of systems. So, obviously the defect ratio is a LOT lower than 33%...although, it is higher than the 3-5% that is average for the videogame industry; that is why Microsoft extended the Warranty from one year to THREE years!

 

At that particular factory with the production process, the semiconductor chip was soldered onto the circuit board in a way that will eventually become defective on every Xbox 360 built at that factory. It is just a matter of time until the heat generated from the .90nm chips causes the soldering material to wear away over enough that it prevents the electrical current from working properly, which will make communication impossible on the circuit board; thus, causing games to freeze, and eventually leading to the RROD problem.

 

Thankfully, Microsoft identified this problem, and completely shut down that factory! The factory that produced those defective systems NO LONGER EXISTS!

 

Instead, Microsoft increased the production capacity at the other two factories that were always much bigger. And those two factories are currently creating .65 engineering designes that generate only 2/3 as much heat. Plus, those .65nm chips take up only 2/3 as much space, which also reduces the heat in the system, because air-flow is improved due to the addition of an additional fan placed in the system thanks to the extra space.

 

Xbox 360 is BY FAR the BEST system to buy this Christmas...because it has BY FAR the BEST lineup of games in the history of gaming.
