Fishy, thy name is Microsoft...

Yeh, so E3 yesterday, showcasing the newest xbox. I thought to myself I would buy this one since the consoles are apparently going to have to last til 2012-2015 or something like that.
My own xbox which was a 2005 model has just given up on life ._.
I turned it on this morning and played some demos for a few hours and all was well. Then I turned it off for an hour or so. Went back to it just then and error code E74 and 1 red light -.- Great.
I've had 3 red lights a few weeks ago but we fixed it by overheating it and resetting the xbox. Ran perfectly...

I wouldn't mind so much but the UK version is only arriving July 16th and US is getting it this week >.<
Suppose I will have to sell the power adapter and leads on ebay or something after getting the new console and sell the xbox for spares :/

Anyone else see something fishy here? xD Bastard microsoft.

Anyways I didn't like the idea of Natal/Kinect at first but now I like some of the games. I'll have to get the new xbox, kinect and Forza kinect+Star wars kinect those two looked amazing.
Also will be watching intently Nintendos press conference tonight, I hope they don't drag out the unveiling of the 3DS they should just show it straight away, but they will probably save best for last.
This means I can't afford a 3DS nooo :'(

EDIT: I'm not looking for help on fixing the RROD so don't bother :)

That is all.[/quote]
Go back to wii >:)
I'm going to give it a proper funeral....naah gonna sell it
 
E74 is the final death of every RROD-repaired XBOX360 out there.

I thought I could fix it by resoldering the ANA entirely, but still no luck (I'm already on two dead 360s, trying that :creep:). Will try more as soon as I get more 360s to kill experiment on.

More than a conspiracy I'd just call it bad luck ;)
 
Wow. That is just too convenient for Microsoft. Everyone! Check your XBOX's.

Fixed, you must have accidentally put experiment but it's fixed now >:D
Mine was lucky to have lasted so long judging by what some people have said, 5 years not bad.. But the new console will never get red ring of death...as it has no red lights anymoreee yaaay. :)
GROD ? lol
I need to buy a transfer kit to get my saves to the new hardrive too >:( and knowing my luck you need the second xbox to transfer the data so I'll need to borrow one.
What's worse is my dad will probably accuse me of sabotaging my xbox to get the new one!! :'O

Heh, mine lived 5 years too, it was a 2005 one, which I fixed that decided to die something like 4 months ago >_>

I believe that our 360s have outlived over the 90% of the 360s out there! :rofl2:

I seriously hope that the new 360 won't RROD. I'm going to buy one, since I'm really fed up of buying old ones and fixing them up (the last one worked for something like a month then died again).

I'll need a transfer kit too :mellow: Oh well, I know a lot of friends with a 360, luckily :P Still I'll need to buy the cable :glare:

I hope that new 360 is worth it :glare: (And it HAS to be hackable! :P)
