Re: Pick the \"next gen\" console I should purchase
 

Wow complete coincidence but my little bro just told me he got the red rings tonight. He got a launch system though. I'm so jacking his if he gets HDMI.

Re: Pick the \"next gen\" console I should purchase
 

Okay I've just found out that of the two friends I know offhand who have a 360, both of them had the rings of doom twice each. So failure rate is 200%.

Re: Pick the \"next gen\" console I should purchase
 

so basically there is a correlation between those with the earlier systems and the RRoD.

Re: Pick the \"next gen\" console I should purchase
 

I got one (with HDMI) about a month ago and got redringed after 8 days. I took it back to Best Buy and got another one. This one's been going fine for the past 3 weeks.

Of all the people I personally know that have an Xbox 360, exactly one has had the problem. Id guess I know about 20 people personally that have Xbox 360s. So that makes the failure rate 5%!!! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

mine survived 18months before the redrings made an appearance [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You must be mistaken, newer 360s have no quality problem. If you did you probably dropped it on the floor or burned it or froze it (electronics don't like the cold).

I've made a little video to explain which console you should buy. All facts.

This must be the VG forum's version of a RickRoll. Simply stunning. I'm 2 minutes in and I'm already laughing my ass off and wondering what this kid could ramble on about incoherently for the next 10.

OMG, the kid talking about memory is the best. "Playstation 3 has SIXTY GIGS of MEMORY! And now, this Xbox 360, Elite, whatever, 120 Gigs, whooooo! Microsoft, nice job copying something. You want to make it bigger, better, twice the hard drive space? Why don't you try something original? HDMI? Try something original!"
