Ring of death inspires Forza 2 artwork

It's every 360 owners nightmare!

The gallery is busted...

Second unit died today...

as unreal as it may sound i had the three rings of death this morning but then i switched it back on after 3 hours and it worked fine lets hope i dont see it again though

Seasoned Gamers FTW!

I must be like the only person in the world who hasn't had any problems at all with my 360. Seriously.

Wow... last friday I did get a RRoD while playing Forza 2. I'm going to be so bored for the next fortnight!

Hey I guess me know he likes his 360 in the horizontal position too (Yeah I'm that bored already)

I had the 3 red lights not too long ago and the towel trick did work for a while. I then took it apart and applied the "eraser fix" and that 360 has not redlighted since (that;s about 2 months now). It now acts as a second extender in the bedroom.

The fix is documented here: http://www.eurasia.nu/wiki/index.php?pagename=Xbox360EraserFixError0102

I was extremely dubious when I read through it but I had nothing to lose so I tried it and the results speak for themsleves.

Now, we just need 60% of the players using the car... (until MS talks openly about the real problem rate)

Not true Chris, #5.
I've yet to encounter a real problem with my xbox360.
The only time I've encountered the rings of death is when I accidentally disconnect the wiring with my foot.
Reconnect and I'm good to go.

I have to say that the guy in the "eraser trick" photos probably got the RRoD because he has his 360 sitting on top of his XBox.

How many times do I have to say it? DON'T PUT YOUR 360 ON TOP OF OTHER COMPONENTS, OR IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE, OR ON THE FLOOR.

I still say most of the "defective" 360s ended up that way because people don't follow the above advice.

People who keep making these pseudo-moral judgements about others having 360 failures are complete dickheads. Subconsciously, you feel that you have not yet had a problem because you are better than other people, or that you are somehow morally superior to those who have had problems. Get over yourselves.

This is not about you being the "chosen people of Xbox" or that others are "less worthy" owners than you. It is not the fault of most owners that they have had problems. It's Microsoft's fault ALONE that their current generation of systems is not outliving the previous one. It's a consumer product issue, not judgement day. Get real.

Nice car CoolNumber9, that design is inspired. (And another Renault Cleo FTW.)

I've not had a RoD - at least not yet - but definitely consider myself morally inferior.
