Xbox360 Red Ring of Death Become History

By On June 20, 2010 Under Games, Microsoft

Xbox 360 users most terrifying nightmare the “Red Ring of Death” is no more appear on the new Xbox 360. The “Red Ring of Death” is just as infamous as the Windows98/ME “Blue Screen of Death”, it is a symptom of Xbox 360 denote the system failure by flashing the red rings.

The rate of failure of Xbox 360 by getting RRoD was claimed to be as high as 33%. It is like 1 out of 3 Xbox users have experienced sending their game console back for repair. You can visualize how bad the condition can it be to be a Xbox360 user. While on the other hand, Wii and PS3 failure rate was reported less than 1%!

However don’t get happy too early. Doesn’t mean the new Xbox 360 will never fail you again. Take a look of the spec. You will notice Microsoft has removed the red LED light from the new slim Xbox360! This is an epic approach for Microsoft to solve the RRoD problem.

Below is the worst slim Xbox360 failure shown on E3. You are going to ruin your game disc if you move the game console when the disc spinning.

IMHO, I’m still going to get the slim Xbox360 and Kinect. Kinect is absolutely cool if it can perform that well like what have we seen on those Microsoft presentation video. However, the bottom line is still if only Microsoft have totally resolved the major xbox360 system failure and disc scratch issue.

If any of you have anything you’d like to add, please contribute by commenting below. Thanks!

    Oh well, good thing the red ring of death on Xbox 360 has been resolved. It's quite a big disappointment if still exists once the Kinect is released. Xbox 360, better behave otherwise, you're done in this gaming industry! LOL
