I'm sick of 360 RROD apologists on this board and across the internet that seem to find ways to blame console owners and basically say "Oh, happens with everything." Seriously ... shut the fuck up if you haven't had your console RROD and you're making claims about how it isn't Microsoft's fault and it happens to every great product.

Even if you've had an xbox 360 or 2 RROD and you're somehow still apologizing for Microsoft's crappy, rushed product control ... shut the fuck up. I am so sick of people not being disgusted by the fact that they can spend $200 to $400 dollars on a product that consistently breaks down over the course of a year, sometimes less.

People have a right to be upset ... 360's breakdown in far greater abundance than any of the other competing consoles on the market, current and past consoles included. Bottom line ... stop defending the quality of the 360 ... it's crap ... and if you think it's due to the owners decisions or environment where the 360 is housed ... shut the fuck up.

Thanks and have a nice day![/quote]

QFT.


Somewhere along the line, we adopted this acceptance of mediocrity in the products we buy.


With our blu-ray players, software, and even telephones. The mentality is that if it doesn't work when it releases, they can always patch it, or fix it later, or update it's firmware.


This is a joke of a mentality to have, and I laugh at quite a few consumers that consider this an acceptable business practice. When did we start accepting mediocre product as the norm?

When we started building cars.
 
Anybody notice the audio going out in some of the cut scenes, like between stages 2 and 3? The audio comes back after 2 or 3 seconds but is out of sync. Damn, this is getting better by the minute.

Grrrr.

we should take legal action against microsoft for selling junk (lemon xbox).

Since most of the systems break down after 3 years we should take action and ask for an extended warranty longer than 3 years.
I cant believe that some of you take this RROD so lightly and with a laugh.
Mine died after 4 yrs.

This web site has lots of of people that have gone through the RROD already.
We should get together and start a petition or something of that sort.

we need to take a stand against microsoft.

Good luck.
 
1) What else are we suppose to do on a message board? Crying about Microsoft's shoddy hardware on CAG isn't going to get much done. At the very least, we can get a few chuckles in.

2) I'm sure people out there are already looking into class action suits against MS over this. Many of us might end up with a free game or a small check. I know I got a very, very small settlement out of two suits against Sony in the past.

I wish you would have supported this, and developed it more. American vehicles are far from being mediocre. They're just not practical for half of the world, economically, or physically.

Well considering the 360 hasn't been out for 4 years, it's hard to buy your argument. Fact is, MS extending the warranty to 3 years pretty much kills any attempt at a lawsuit (and you have the option to purchase a 2-year extended warranty on top of that). Most of the systems do not break down after 3 years...most are within a year or two (and usually with 6 months, although mine lasted exactly 2 years).


++++actually, your whole argument is flawed, if most system lasted 3 years before breaking down, MS would have never extended the warranty in the first place. We wouldn't even have known what RROD was until a few months ago++++

I don't think theyre out of the "lawsuit woods" just yet. The warranty only covers the RROD. From the looks of things, there's more problems with the system than just that. You also have disc drives failing and the dreaded E74 error (which could be the same thing as RROD, but that confuses consumers).
 
[quote name='Speed Racer']Just received mine from Amazon today and was completely blown away by how poorly it was packed. The box it came in was almost big enough to fit two consoles inside and there was no packing material. I almost dropped the package when the system shifted from one side to the other. I can't believe that Amazon would ship a $400.00 item like it was nothing more than a sack of potatoes.[/quote]

To be fair, its YMMV when it comes to Amazon shipping. As they have a handful of distribution centers, you could get something packaged completely different from each center. I kind of wish they were consistant but it probably comes down to local issues (on-hand supplies, out of certain box sizes, etc).

My RE5 elite came in an oversized box with shipping paper. Looked secure enough as long as someone didn't drop it purposely. Everything looked good including the game case.

How isn't the e74(quad 4 ring) not covered? That is a general graphics card failure. Thats what i had, i got it a day before my warranty expired too :D
 
I just got the elite RE bundle from Gamestop, mine was packaged great and I've had no problems so far.. if anyone wants to hit me up as friends on there my gamertag is Axl Rose 4183, I need some xbox friends! lol

Yea, RROD isn't the only problem with the system. The first 360 I had stopped outputting video. No red ring, no errors, no nothing. I was watching DVDs on it the night before and the next morning it powered on, but nothing showed up on the screen. Luckily I had the best buy prp, so I just did an exchange for a new one.

To Microsoft's credit though, the newer models are supposed to be less susceptible to problems. I got the model that came out before the Jasper chipset came out and I haven't run into a problem yet (knock on wood).

I'm sure we won't benefit from microsoft getting sued- besides payback. What are they going to do? Send every 350 owner a voucher for their next console for free? The money won from microsoft goes to the people who sued them- not us consumers.
 
As I just said, I got compensation in two class action suits against Sony. It's not like I actually sued them. But because I had to get my PlayStation serviced by Sony a number of times, my information was on record, and I was twice sent a letter asking whether I wanted a game or check (something like $20 or $30). Not a big deal, but still, you're incorrect. Many of us will get something out of it, if it happens.

I would think that a product recall is in order. I myself am on my 11th/12th/13th 360. I've lost count and that's not an exaggerated number, it's that high. Having more than one fail from normal use is unacceptable.

I'm considering selling mine along with SSF2 HD since I dont normally care about gussying up the dashboard and I already have SSF2 HD
 
Also I should note, my bundle came in box labeled C4, which presumably is a standard size and the air packets normally used in shipping. The console and game look fine, but the box has a cut in it from a box cutter, meaning my system was at the top of the box they come in to Amazon.

The theme isn't all that great. :( I was expecting more. I can take pics when I get home ( @ work ) if no one has uploaded any for you. It's basically a sunny background of one of the towns or whatever ( haven't had a chance to actually *play* the game yet, so IDK what it's called ), with random photos of angry villagers or Chris and Sheva when you go into areas of the NXE ( videos, etc. ).

*Roxy*
 
The question on reliability then comes into play as to which system is built better if any...

IF I go out tonight and grab an Arcade, will it last as long as an Elite? Or are the Elite's built better since MS knows they are the most expensive versus the Arcade's which are the cheapest? Which console version (Arcade vs. Pro vs. Elite) see's the most problems or it doesnt matter?

Anyone care to chime in on that?

I'd like to know if there's ANY difference at all between the 2 systems (cheapest vs. most expensive)...whether it be internal components (do the Arcades use the cheap crap while the Elite's use the good stuff?) or whether it matters which 'team' makes them (FDOU, CSON, TMEM etc. etc.)...

So...are all 360's created equal?....or should I go for one over the other?

Mind you forget about whats included in the bundle...I am asking about just the core system...

This IS a fundamental issue here about the RE5 system as since it is limited edition, should something happen within the 30 days Gamestop gives you to exchange it, if your system breaks down and the stores around you dont have the bundle you'd be up the creek without a paddle (although I was told by one employee that they could ship you one from another store) where as an Arcade bundle, which is easier to find, can easily be swapped (within the 30 days).

AFTER that period, the question becomes whether you'd get back YOUR red console (if you care about that) should you send it in to MS?

I would say that if you're buying any 360, assume that at some point during the first 2 to 3 years you're going to be faced with the hassle of mailing it to MS for repair. With that said, I think the newer chipsets released by MS are running cooler and using less power than earlier models, so while the problem isn't entirely fixed, your odds are better with a Jasper or Falcon than the release models.


Fundamentally, the system internals should be the same and while there are small variations in who made the DVD drive in most console series, they shouldn't impact the overall quality of the device to such a degree that one model (Arcade, Pro, Elite, etc) is more reliable or recommended. Really, even though you're asking to put all other pros and cons aside, the bottom line is the various console options are designed around those additions that come in the box.

When trying to decide which type of system to buy, it really comes down to your interest in xbox live and the storage capabilities of the different models. Reliability is going to be suspect in any 360, but the fact that MS has a warranty program in place for the RROD should allay your concerns about any of the different models varying in reliability. If you plan to use xbox live or download movies and games, I can't recommend the Arcade. The Pro is nice but having the 120 gigs that come with the Elite is ideal at this point if you plan on integrating a 360 into your media center and using it for more than just gaming. If you just want a 360 to play games and have no interest in LIVE, go with the Arcade and upgrade later. If you're buying mostly for games and a little LIVE experience on the side, go with the Pro.

If you buy an Arcade now, it's going to cost more to upgrade later by adding an external HD at a ridiculous markup. The Red Elite is a great option for fans of Xbox LIVE, RE, etc. Heck, if I didn't have an Arcade with a 120 gig drive added on, I would probably buy this set. It's better than either of the Holiday bundles and unless you want the Arcade due to cost alone, I'd say fundamentally this is probably your best bet at the moment for 360s. (Unless you want an Elite from Dell with their discount and don't care about the game extras that come in this bundle).

Thanks for the great response etcrane, I really appreaciate it :)

I agree that for people who dont already own anything thats its a good deal however they must weigh the fact that one day they may not get back the red console as MS might send them a black one or white one if god forbid it does RROD after the initial 30 days.

For me personally however, it's almost a wash.

This is how I figure it (unless someone comes along and tells me that the Arcade is inferior somehow to the Elite when talking about build quality of the the XBOX 360 itself in which case I'd go in another direction):

Arcade - 200
120 gig HD - 150
= 350 + decent HDMI cable - ?? (say 20 bucks or less) = 370 total or maybe even cheaper

I think the Arcade has a wired controller but I already have 2 wireless so thats not important to me.

I have like 4 headsets so no need for another.

I already have a great component cable (old 360 didnt have HDMI port) so all I'd need is a decent HDMI cable and maybe an adapter for the optical out.

I have a 20 gig HDD which I will just keep it for now along with my RROD repaired 360 (should it ever finally get back to me) as a backup (or I may just get rid of that and keep the repaired console)

Now this is not taking into consideration about the games in the bundle (RE5 and SF2). But if you have a huge backlog like me then waiting for it to drop, and then grabbing it used cheap, isn't a big deal. SF2 isnt a big deal because I have all the originals from SNES, and have my old SNES ready to go for that, so its not needed.

Now, I wish I could just get this RE5 bundle and be done with it, but I am just not being convinced that for me its the right way to go given the lack of reliability of the system. I'd feel totally different if it was reliable since it'd be cool to have a special edition ala my Regular XBOX Halo Edition which is still solid after all this time. So, unless someone comes along and tells me that the Arcade is inferior somehow to the Elite when talking about internal component quality/build quality in anyway shape or form....
 
Just an update for anyone in the Phoenix area, the Fry's Electronics in Tempe has 20 of these. At least. I was there on lunch break today and they had a ton of them.

Launch system, then got an Elite when those came out because they were supposed to be "fixed" and I'm still having issues. All the replacements were obviously refurbs from MS. I've complained several times and demanded brand a brand new console before with no avail.
 
Just got the one from tigerdirect.com

The disk drive is making clicking noise and it wasn't able to read the RE5 disc initially. Now I've installed it and it seems to be OK. Very afraid to try any other discs right now.
 
I dont understand why a lot of you guys dont just play your systems right from the get go like normal.

If you *think* somethings wrong with your drive then push it a little by playing a game that you used to play off the drive back when you couldn't install anything (not a lot just a little to make sure) so that if something *is* wrong with it you can get on it quick before you are out of the return/exchange period.

Because waiting doesn't fix anything if your system is broken it just costs you in the long run.
 
Yeah, if I picked up a new system I'd just use it as usual. Better it breaks now than in a month or two, because right now you know there's not going to be a huge issue with finding another red replacement console. Game like normal and if something happens, consider yourself lucky that it didn't happen after 30 days or so when you have to deal directly w/ M$. Although, with that said, I'm pretty sure if you send your system into M$ you'll get a red console back. They have the means to provide replacements that should hypothetically be identical. Can any Halo 360 owners confirm this?
 
Finally got my system from Best Buy today, cracked RE game case like everyone else, slightly whiny fan like everyone else. I am really surprised by how much lighter the PS is on the Jasper units, it's a nice change.. would've liked to have seen a smaller power brick.

One question-- I didn't see any paperwork with the system about ordering the extended warranty through MS. I didn't buy a warranty through BB as I don't trust their repairing, but does MS still offer the warranty? (my first 360, back in 2006, came with a form you could fill out and mail back with a check)
 
Finally opened my system up today and everything is in perfect condition. The RE5 case doesn't have a mark on it and it was correctly packed inside the cardboard "buffer" that holds the 360 in place. The whole box was also shipped well with a nice amount of bubble packing. Unfortunately, the outer box is in less-than-stellar condition, but obviously I'd rather have the system intact than the box.

I love Amazon.
 
Today I opened my Red xbox and tried it out. I inserted resident evil 5 disc and I get a message "cant read disc" I checked the disc and it was clean of scratches and dirt.
I tried it again and it worked, but I noticed a weird clicking noise whenever the xbox system is reading the resident evil disc.
I tried different games and no noise at all. it just happens with Resident evil.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Yeah I had the exact same thing happen to me. I took the game into gamestop where I had bought the system and they gave me a new "retail" copy of RE5 and it works fine now.
 
I believe that the MS will replace what you send if you send in a red you will get a red.

Also every psx launch system that I know of all of them went bad. The lens crapped out after a while. everyone had to turn them upside down to get the video to play without skipping. Then Kaput. I was a part of the class action against sony because I paid to have it fix cost at the time was 125. It was a free game or 25 dollars.

The repaired system lasted 60 days then the lens went bad. Horrible. I remember.

I remember having to turn my launch PS upside down, but it never went completely out on me. It worked just fine like that until I got my PS2.

i think everybody here accepts the fact that launch systems are going to have problems. However, its been over 3 years now since the 360 was launched. That's enough time to fix any problems known. Yet people are still getting shitty consoles replaced by other shitty consoles.(the cycle continues with their refurb. warranty). Which is why i'm so pissed off. My last 360 red ringed on me and the disc drive completely went bad. I'll be damned if i bought another one and have it break down on me. Which is sad because i have games that i haven't finished yet. To the people on their 4th, 5th, 6th, etc console, youre frikken kidding me :bomb:

Yeah, this is not an isolated issue. The game would make the console spin the disc like crazy and make weird noises. The game freezes 90% of the time after Sheva greets Chris during the opening cut scene. The audio continues but the video is frozen. I can skip it, but it gives me the unreadable disc error right after. It seemed to be more pronounced if I had the system set up vertically. I'm assuming the system just has a hell of a time reading the disc for whatever reason. And no, the disc is not scratched at all. It looks pristine. I tried to install the game to hard drive twice and had it stop at 50% the first time (unreadable disc error) but was successful the 2nd attempt. I haven't had a problem since because obviously the console doesn't have to read the disc anymore during the game.

I was going to return the whole damn thing because I thought all games would have to be installed on HD, but I borrowed all of my friend's games (tried about 7 of them) first and none of them had this issue...vertically or horizontally.

I figured it's just a bad batch of RE5 discs that came with the red elite bundle. I'm not sure whose fault this is--MS or Capcom? Since all the other games I tried work, I'm leaning more toward Capcom's QA.

Oh, and the RE5 game case was cracked at the top and bottom like everybody else too. Damn MS could've figured out how to pack the thing in a different way...

Same thing happened with mine. I'm able to play after install but will MS replace the disc for me if I call them up or are they not goign to just b/c I'm able to play after install?
 
If I have the Best Buy warranty for my Elite, is there any reason why they wouldn't let me get this bundle if they are the same price? The new SKUs for the regular Elite wouldn't be the same as mine anyway because I got mine in late 2007.
 
I too had the clicking issue. I called Gamestop where I bought it at and they gave me a new game (the was not UPC and said not for resale just like the one that came with the system) and it worked fine after that. No more clicking and I was able to install the game were before I wasn't.

Is it a magic warranty that lets you trade a used console for a new one???

I would say the answer is no.
 
Actually, the Best Buy replacement plan basically was just like that. You could walk in there with an old console, say it didn't work, and they would give you a giftcard for the value of the original purchase...no questions asked. From what I hear, though, they have since changed these replacement plans into service contracts.
 
The 2-year Best Buy one that I have was explained that it allows for unlimited replacement within the first year (first year ended Sept 2008) which I used once in June 2008. I went to customer service with my broken 360, I was told to grab one off the shelf, they detached the HDD, handed me my old HDD, did about 1-2 minutes of register stuff and I walked out of the store with a brand new console. In the second year of the warranty, you are allowed one additional replacement.
