Perfect Damn Timing!

Perfect Damn Timing!

First of all, I am ****ED. You wanna know why? Probably not, but your gonna find out anyway. My 360 is having very frequent problems with that overheat half ring. It even happened when I was playing Call of Duty 4 today. And guess what is even worse? Fable II is coming out in 2 weeks, and graphic intense games seam to be my Xbox's major dislike, every time I play GTA IV it does this after 20 minutes. And Farcry 2 is also coming out soon. Now I am faced with a decision. Send it in like right now, and hope to GOD that it comes back in time for these games, or wait it out and see what happens. Why has Microsoft ****ed me over like this? And why do they get away with selling faulty products???

I have had problem after problem with mine xboxs. If its going to be a system swap they do it pretty fast. Repairs I dont know. I'd wait it out.

Mine did it when GTA IV was coming out & a COD 4 double XP weekend, now that wasnt good timing either. :lol:

Only waited 6 days before it was returned in full working order though so no complaints from me.

If it's actually red ringing, you better send it in.

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

I just got mine back about a week ago. From the day I sent it in, it took 9 days for me to get it back. So I would send it in as soon as you can and chances are you will get it back in time.

They get away with it with hi-def games

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

Man, I really hate this. And it gets a "half red ring" which indicates overheating, and it does that with graphic intense games, unless I pop them in after a full night of cooling. Oh well. I'll wait it out. The longer I wait the more I will enjoy playing it.

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

Just send it in. The longer you wait, the more cut into your Fable 2 time. Especially if it decides to **** out on you on the 21st.

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

It's a risk I'm willing to take. And the longer I wait the more the anticipation builds up, therefore I will have more fun playing it than you will when you first get it.

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

Hey man do the Towel technique, It gets rid of the ring of fire for atleast 5 days and ya xbox works perfectly fine.. Have you ever done the towel technique? Well yeah i did it.. My Baby is getting too old now.. i bet you it will happen as soon as i get the game!

Oh well just try out the Towel technique.

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

Yeah I've heard of it, and that is only used when there is the actual RROD not just an overheat. But right now I'm just gonna hope.

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

Umm Send it then.. You'll just have to miss out on the game for like a couple of days.. I know it will be lik hell but it will all be worth it!

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

the reliability of the xbox 360 is so bad that they should have a warning on the box

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

Bad luck, S! Really bad timing, too. If your 360 is still under warranty then I'd recommend shipping it over to Microsoft HQ as soon as possible. I would hate to have my Fable 2 experience ruined by having the red ring of death strike while I'm cruising around Bowerstone.

I almost died when my 360 died on me, two weeks before Devil May Cry 4 was released. Fortunately my 360 arrived back the same day my copy of DMC4 arrived.

Re: Perfect Damn Timing!

I'm just gonna wait it out... It isn't doing it lately, maybe Microsoft just doesn't want me to switch games after I've played one for awhile. Oh well, wish me luck on my stupid choice...
