It's a great system and all, but that problem is definately costing them customers nowadays. Mine first got RROD'd in the summer of '07, then again at the same time in the summer of '08, and now it's starting to freeze up so i'm getting ready for it to break again.

their initial release of thier failure rate when they first came out was only 17 percent....game retailers then released a failure at 33 percent....big difference...if you go to xiled news the failure rate which was released a little while ago is now closer to 50%.....i think that gives me every right in the world to complain....plus i did not pay for a 50% failure rate i paid for a 17 percent...but thats just my opinion i dont want to argue with you

Click to expand...

well then you picked the wrong thread to put your opinion in.

weather or not they said it had 17% or 50% failure rate it had a failure so you knew that some mite not work so its still your issue.

they never said it would never fail so if you dont want a system to fail go be a playstation or wii person.

Consumer Protection Statutes...........I got this from a website stating why microsoft is getting sued............."Microsoft is facing a lawsuit filed under the California's consumer protection statutes with the Sacramento County Superior Court. The lawsuit points to an abnormally large number of “General Hardware Failure” rates (also known as the Red Ring of Death due to the three flashing red lights around the power button) in the Xbox 360. It alleges that an abnormally large number of the consoles have suffered from the flaw, and that Microsoft new about the issue but concealed it, in order to better compete with the rival Sony Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii.

Plaintiffs cite a number of popular gaming news websites, such as dailygamesnews.com, VentureBeat, Digital Media and Yahoo! according to which, Microsoft knew about the defective consoles as far back as November 2005, and that their rate of incidence was over 50%.

That figure is obscenely high in an industry which considers 3% a maximum accepted hardware failure rate.
The objective of the lawsuit, which was filed on September 19 by Reshelle Cable of Folsom, Calif., is to obtain an order forcing Microsoft to pay the affected Xbox 360 owners with all profits made from the console by publicly announcing and implementing a refund program in the state of California.

A Microsoft spokesman did not comment, saying that the company had not yet been served with the lawsuit.
If Microsoft loses this lawsuit, it will set a dangerous precedent for the company, as more and more states could require them to fully refund customers for the defective hardware, causing tremendous losses for them.............................BTW i dont live in California, but as stated in the article other states could follow so Im all for the suing of microsoft because they withheld information which is illegal....if you want to read about it just google Consumer Protection Statutes...every state has them as a matter of fact i think ill post some more stuff on the CPS later on....i found a really good bit of notes givin to lawyer on this very type case

Well I got the RROD just Last Month. I was pretty pissed since it was the New HDMI with new Heat Sink and Motherboard (Chip 65nm). I was playing it and it RROD on COD and then 2 weeks later all the color meshed together during COD and boom stopped working. So I sent it in pissed as **** and told them it better be back soon. They sent me postage and I got it back in about 2 weeks. I have had mine for about 2 weeks now. It is really quite compared to my other one and Loads like 3x's as fast. I am parting with it though because of money problems right now. It is For Sale in the same Forum Room.

Either way I got the 3 year warranty on it for 3 ring problems.
