They'll send you a label you box up your xbox (remember and take out game disc and take off any fancy faceplate as you wont be getting this exact xbox back), arrange delivery. Wait for an xbox to come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know it will finally conk as soon as the warranty is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know it will finally conk as soon as the warranty is out.RRoD is so sporadic they'd have a hard time proving your console wasn't going batty when you sent it away. Mine RRoD'd ages ago, then it ran like a champ after that, for months before it finally bricked itself.Try it, and argue like fuck if they call you on it. Quoting the Sale of Goods Act, especially the "not fit for purpose" bit usually helps give you leverage in these situations, but I doubt they would bat an eyelid. Also, they have extended the warranty for RRoD repairs beyond that of the standard warranty, so it should still be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know it will finally conk as soon as the warranty is out.They apparantly don't repair them for months after they recieve them as they get so many. So as long it says that it has RROD then you'll be fine.My first one I sent off did get repaired at the time and it didn't have RROD, it ended up getting a new motherboard, new disc drive and something else replaced.You'll be fine.

Lemonade Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I don't understand why Microsoft didn't just sell X-Box's that were fit for purpose in the first place. Did they not test the fucking things before they hurried them out onto the market to beat the equally fragile PS3? PS2 was the same, they all had that faulty laser, I went through two of them in two years.It boggles my mind that they are so desperate to beat each other to the quick that they sell goods they know to be faulty.

Plenty of information on the net, including figures, to prove that PS3 failure rate is very low. Xbox is a great console for games though in my opinion before you start with your fanboy shit.

I do know three people who bought PS3s when they were released though, and all three failed and had to be replaced. Not as many as people I know who've had the RROD like.

I can't imagine testing departments can really afford to invest months and months of time into making sure something doesn't break. I guess what doesn't make sense is why the problem hasn't been rectified. It's positive that they've got a service that deals with RRoD, where they are refurbished for free, but why haven't they homed in on what actually causes it, and re-release the console. The original PS1 kept breaking because the laser was at the same side as the power supply, so the heat practically melted it. They moved the laser to the other side on future models and it was sorted. The 360 has been around for a long time now, so there's no excuse why it hasn't been fixed and completely erradicated yet.
