Having gone through two XBOX360s which both experienced the red ring of death (RROD) or three red lights (3RL), I have since then been reluctant to buy a third XBOX360 in fear that it would again succumb to the infamous RROD.
My first XBOX360, which I got around April 2007, experienced the RROD just one month after I got it. Since the warranty was useless, due to my country of residence, I had to rely on the many RROD fixes available on the net. I managed to revive it for a week but alas; the RROD just kept coming back. I gave up on my first XBOX360 and was able to sell it for a few bucks.
My second XBOX360 I bought just last December 2008. This one lasted a whole week . before the RROD showed its ugly face. I don’t need to tell you that I was devastated. Two XBOX360s and two RRODS! How unlucky could you get!
This was almost enough to make me swear to never buy another Microsoft product ever again. But I enjoy playing video games and right now, the XOBX360 is the console with the most games available in the market. And by most games I mean most RPG games as I am an RPG gamer.
And so, even though I’ve had two nasty experiences with the XBOX360, yesterday, April 6, 2009, I went out and got a third XOBX360. This time I made sure that I got one of the newer models with the Jasper motherboard. With the 65nm CPU and GPU, this should generate less heat and make it less susceptible to the RROD.
Right now I’m keeping my fingers crossed and praying that this time, it lasts more than 2 months…and hopefully this would be the last XBOX360 I buy…
