Xbox's Red Ring of Death


This Blog is about Microsoft’s Xbox 360’s Red Ring of Death, which has the first 3 lights are red. This means that there is a general hardware failure in the system, I personally haven’t gotten it on my Xbox but I still worry, because many people have gotten it really quickly or after some time. Over the internet I have read articles where people complain and are suing Microsoft for this, people say that your Xbox will eventually get the RRoD. They also say the life time of an Xbox is 1 month to 4 years; this is my 4th year with my Xbox, and I think that I’m lucky that my Xbox is hasn’t gotten any problems, no freezes, no hardware problems, nothing!.

People suggest that if people want to extend the life of the Xbox they should keep it in a very cold and vented area, which I had all these years. All my friends say that I should switch to ps3 because everything is more efficient and long lasting, free online play, no hardware errors ECT. But I think that I like the Xbox 360 better because it has better games generally, and it’s small so that you can store it. I heard that you can fix it but you have to go inside the Xbox and do stuff, but there are risks that you can get banned on Xbox live, and it’s really frustrating for people that they have to send it to Microsoft so they can fix it.


Well I think the solution for this problem is that, people need to take real good care of their Xbox, not be playing it constantly, and overheating it, but keeping it clean inside and outside, and giving it some air. I think these solutions, that will fix this thing don’t actually work, sometimes I hope there is a warranty for this type of thing but it’s been over 4 years, I think that this warranty won’t last that much, So these are my thoughts on this subject.
