Xbox 360 Slim: Microsoft Finally Solves the RRoD

xbox really sucks

Oh, now see. I actually thought you guys were going to focus on something good about the 360. Good to see the bashing never dies.

SO, now its the red "green light of death"

I see what they did tharrr

Removing the red LEDs from this new slim model has to be the funniest and most lame-assed thing I've heard in a while.

But the folks at Microsoft know only too well the strong stigma attached with the RRoD on the 360. This is their way of sweeping it under the carpet in hopes it will be forgotten. This concerns me a bit.

You know, that would be ok if this was KoCocku, but it's Sankaku. There should be motherfucking lolis here, not Sony Defense force sponsored bullshit. And they have the same option, if they don't like the 360 the shut the fuck up. You don't hear me bitching about the PS3 and it's shitty ass pay service and half-assed online do you? No.

Sankaku needs to get back to fucking news that matters, not passing out the Sony Kool-aid.

Sorry, what was this good thing we should be focusing on? Microsoft iToy? Virtual Kitty Petter? How about the complete rape of the once proud Rareware? Rape stories are always good news here, right?

According to the Microsoft Way(TM) of doing thins, I can fix my car's overheating problems by removing the red TEMP light from the dashboard.

"According to Microsoft's support team, while the console won't display a "red ring" in times of hardware failure, it will still clearly indicate an error by switching its power indicator (the light in the centre of the ring) from green to red. So we'll get a red...dot of death instead. RDoT. It has a certain ring about it, no?"

Implying it isn't.

@ Fan-boy Anon:

Do you think to discover this error, people picked up their 360 while playing a game and started throwing it at walls?

Of course people don't intentionally move their console while it's reading a disk. (Unless they're stupid or trust their hardware... You know, like PS3 and Wii?)

My friend was complaining about his Rock Band 2 disk beind beyond recovery because of the movement of the console from God knows what. That was the original 360.

Fact is, the console shouldn't have this problem at all.

Good job, Microsoft :D

To many years old crappy hardware *Cheers*

its not grod is G-unit
4 signs of bad things (4 rapers or 4 red lights are the same = shit

there will be another problem weather rrod or not reading disc microsoft will always have it's faults. heck even the moving the xbox destroy's the discs oh well

So they fixed the RRoD with the removement of the red LEDs.
And interresting how all the buttons on the ne X360 were changed to the same type the older PS3 models had and how she even has the same finish.

who wants to bet that since its smaller it'll over heat more often

I don't think I can take this bitching much longer. If you don't like the 360, fine. Here is a thought, shut the fuck up about something you're not going to buy and post more loli.

If there was another loli-centric site I'd leave this shit hole.

They should have taken the green light out. Leave the red one. That way every time you start your Xbox its a surprise whether it starts or not. Every day is a new adventure!

Madness is eternal

What is that Kinect port bullshit?

As I understand it, the Kinect connects via a USB port. So either in the front or the back of the Xbox. Yet it seperately lists the USB port elsewhere in the feature list.

O_O

I still believe laying it down instead of standing it up makes it last longer.
(I've had mine 2 years now.)

Oh, wow...

Well, there goes my chances of ever getting one...

changing red with green. now i see microsoft qualification

*facepalm* I thought it was a REAL solution...

gues the slim will sport a GROD (GREEN ring of death)

So if you shake the X-Box 360 slim this time it won't scratch your disc?

The three year warranty was just for RROD cases, wasn't it? So now that the new model can't display the RROD anymore, does this mean they did away with that warranty?

Bug marked FIXED - Feature Removed

Huh... I always held out hope they'd actually fix the problem. I'm such a naive fool T_T

Oh what a clever way to avoid being forced to deal with the court order 3-year. It can have the same problem's of physical hardware failure, but hey, no read lights means it's not the RROD, it's something different. Yep, not trying to weasel out of it at all.

First of all. They didn't bother to even change the disc drive perhaps. The slot-loading drive is the most secure of the two types and PS3/Wii know it. Also, I love how they FINALLY put built-in Wi-Fi after ripping people off with their 100$ product. >.> Way to go M$.

No more Memory Unit slots?
That's a pain... {albeit not one that will affect .that. many people} Can't imagine that it would have been that big a deal to leave one port in Microsoft!!

It feels like I'm the only one who noticed other details including the fact that it uses LESS POWER, according to its schematics. Of course, no one would bother to look at the other information and just jump on the "Let's bash Microsoft!!!11" bandwagon.

I'm a total Microsoft Loyalist, so I'm really being willfully naive when i say this. The problem could have been due to to the size and that LED, maybe now it will be okay!

-_- I don't care that it's just casting pearls before swine, I have high hopes.

How about PS Move's ~new colors~

Maybe it'll just skip the formalities and burst into flames this time, vaporizing the unit to oblivion and requiring users to do a new purchase. Genius

LEAVE MICROSOFT ALOONEE!! You're lucky they even performed for you bastards!! LEAVE MS ALONE!!

*Goes to play PS3

Memory 120GB HD --- 250GB HD
:|

So where did that list come from? Did MS marketing actually put what color LEDs are in the machines?

the next model will have a black ring so it blends in with the console color.perfect way to hide it

YOU RRoD 360 SLIM BETA TESTERS FAGS SURE GOT TOLD.

I thought they actually fixed it by using a proper heat sink and fan design and not use a mainland China contractor assemble the circuit boards.
But nope they remove just the red LEDs.

LOL - This was a well needed laugh out loud.

FAIL Microsoft... FAIL

It's true. I think there'll be a GRoD since the red LED is gone.

"Wanna know how? Buy the Kinect first and we'll help you"

That could be one of their evil ideas to sell that thing.

GREEN OVAL OF DEATH AWAITS THEE

So.. now we have the invinsible red ring of death and the new white ring of death.

... but that's equal measure brilliance and stupidity!

you don't see that every day.

Christmas lights of death. Could use them as ordainments, some RROD some GROD.

i loled, i expected to hear that they spent a bit more on the system, not took away the red led.

so how the fuck do we know when the system red rings?

and for the record i have had 7 360s, i will never believe they fix this problem.

Wow! They're like some kind of super geniuses!

I did something similar once. I had a puncture on one of my tyres so I just took the wheels off my car. Puncture has never been a problem since!

Pathetic... no more needs to be said.

So no more RRoD.... Great.. No more Christmas lights...
