Ummm.... Well, where to start?

Would you like to hear a conspiracy theory or something based in reality?

It's just rather unlucky.
Unless... Unless maybe it's the government conspiring against you, using microsoft as a pawn in their feindish plans to... Have you not playing games or something...

People have gotten the RROD far before now. You might just be hearing about it, but I'm pretty sure it's been around since the birth of the console.

And are you asking if we think that it's some sort of conspiracy with this whole thing about it being a coincidence or not? What else would it be? Microsoft wants their consoles to be shit so they can sell less and make less money. Right.

But Sony is definitely sabotaging the XBoxes. Mm-hmm. Or Nintendo.

And the twin towers didn't actually collapse.

I have a confession to make... I kind of took a shit into your xbox 360's fan, disc tray and memory slots...

Sorry... :)

Not to be rude or anything, but if you want people to take your arguments seriously you might want to work on your spelling. Nothing against you or anything, just trying to help you out.

As for your question, no, it isn't a coincidence. This new rash of RROD is in part due to these newer games coming out that push the system to its limits and thus cause it to burn out. Unfortunately all of these top of the line games put quite a bit of stress on the 360 due their focus on graphics and extensive content (I'm not complaining, just saying), which is only serving to overheat and damage it at a more rapid rate. There's really nothing you can do but hope your 360 can handle the strain and try not to worry about it too much.

Gutted...

I've actually never had a proper red ring of death, but I've had two, quarter ring errors.
Both of which were just as I was attempting to play a game I'd been waiting for since the previous year. Which meant waiting for two weeks then finally playing the game and being very dissapointed with it.

Yes, it is all a big conspiracy by Microsoft. See, they don't want to make any more money, so they made sure that 360s have an increased rate of failure around the release of big games with a special plan. They made the captured alien corpses from Roswell build a special satellite for Microsoft that beams the confirmation for Order 66 to all 360s. The 360s then have to make a saving roll. If they fail, then they get the RROD. It is all a big scheme by Zombie Osama HitStalin (A clone made from the DNA of Osama bin Laden, Hitler, and Stalin), who is the secret ruler of Microsoft, to crash the American economy and take over Tajikistan so he can build a new Nazi Germany protected by an army of zombie buffalo ninja Nazis.

The ONLY way to prevent this is to put your 360 into a microwave with twelve sheets of aluminum foil and a box of shotgun shells, and set the timer for ten minutes.

And while we are at it, Bigfoot assassinated JFK. Just think about it; it will all make sense after you do, and is indeed the ONLY logical explanation.

I was walking through walmart the other day and one of the display 360's that you can play games on in the store RROD'd it was funny even the store models aren't immune, and they just left it like that.

How does it feel to know god hates you?
In all seriousness that sucks, are you going to send it in or just say to hell with it and throw the cursed thing out?

Perhaps it's time to take it as a divine sign, and throw in the towel.

I thought you could send them in and have the console replaced if they got the Red Rings though?

Maybe, just maybe....yeah...it's coming to me. Damn, why didn't I see this! It's so bloody simple! The RROD are being caused by MS because they want to spend more money fixing consoles on the cheap. They're also looking to purposely risk what could potentially be the 360's best holiday season yet by willfully and maliciously bricking 360s across the world so that gamers will get fed up, buy a PS3/Wii, and not buy 360 games. Man, it's so simple...you're so totally correct!

That was what I thought.

But I asked them, they say it wasn't them.

They also did a little dance.

If I was to create a word to describe how awesome the dance was that word would be... Jubilitacular.

... Then it's the LOBSTER PEOPLE!

Like Crab people, but more pretensious. And they have meaty tails.

Everyone knows that the RROD is caused by overheating, right?
And that playing a game for many hours continuously is likely to cause overheating, right?
So, he might actually be right, right?
