PS3 is like 2% failure rate or summ, not sure.....i've had no problems and havent come accross anyone else who who has either

 

Much like 0.3% for outright dead console with red flashing light. Most problems are related to HDD and can be solved by formatting it.

A French site (Logic-Sunrise) is reporting that they have uncovered a new RRoD style on the new Falcon motherboard Xbox 360's. The RRoD now throws out two red and two green lights, just perfect for the all festive decorations.

I say, keep ur x360s switched off during Christmas or any other festivals just to avoid the bad omen. Hope it doesn't happen to anyone of you beyond the warranty cover.

Microsoft has been vigorously inspecting Xbox 360 consoles sent in for repairs in Taiwan which has resulted in the usual turnaround time of seven days being extended to as long as one month since October, according to retail channels in Taiwan.

 

The sources commented that the tighter inspection was motivated by a need to see if game consoles have been illegally modified to use pirated games and a need to screen consoles which really need repair. However, consumers are increasingly becoming discontent with the tighter attitude towards after-sales repairs, the sources pointed out.

^^ Aha !! It was to happen eventually. Now their beancounters will prepare spreadsheets on ratios of modded to unmodded consoles by geography and M$ will try to recover lost royalties by hiking the cost of content on XBL.

 

So Vinit, because of you, I will have to pay more to game on Live :cry5:

Hi all.. I live in delhi.. abt 4 monts ago I brought a modded 360 frm Gaffar...

it was goin fine till yesterday for the first time while playing FIFA 08 the screen freezed and went all grainy...

 

after a few re starts I got the 3 red lights of DOOM.......

 

Now I know most of u will be cursing me for buying a modded consol and supporing piracy...

:eyebrow2:

 

so shoot on if u want..

 

But I just wanted to know if anyone else had the same problem of a modded 360 breaking down and can tell me if it can be fixed in palika or gaffar... as obviously sending it to M$ is out of question.....

 

Please help guys....
