Fall Update Claims Loot Ninja Editor's 8th Xbox 360

Loot Ninja is fed up with broken Xbox 360's. One editor just had his 8th console to die. Like they've said before, the editor hasn't had any other systems die on him. Ever. The Xbox 360 is the only system ever to break. And now he's gone through 8 of them. Tonight, after grabbing the new Fall Dashboard Update, it started making weird noises and froze up in Guitar Hero 3. When the editor turned it off and back on… guess what? Yep. Red Ring of Death.

1 - 8th.

not surprising. my friend has had 5 returns(2 in the last 2 months).
i had 2 go in around a year.

8th is CRAZY.

MS should be sued for this.

If you buy a product good/bad it at least should WORK.

@elines

that was honestly one of the weakest things EVER said on N4G.
and alot of ridiculous thing have been said.

if your proud of that, keep it goin i guess.

and by the looks of it, your avatar represents how much personality/character you have.

@socomnick

i always left mine horizontally, my ps3 is horizontal as well.

vertical SCARES me.

@EVERYONE saying the people who have them BREAK seem to have multiples BREAK.

did you ever think maybe it`s because their the HARDCORE gamers ACTUALLY USING IT ALL THE TIME.

like they should be ABLE to do.

I have noticed that people who have had a xbox break on them once are prone to having multiple failures. I have had my launch xbox and its seen heavy use and have had no problems. It have it lying horizontally by the way.

1.4 - here is why I take this with a grain of salt

I looked at this guys previous post just to see what I'm dealing with here. From what I see, we are NOT dealing with a neutral party here. His post are pretty much as follows:

Never anything bad or negative to say about the PS3
Never anything good to say about the wii
Plenty of anti-M$ talk and plenty of negative to say about the 360.

Now with that being said, I'm calling BS on this story. The thing that strikes me as odd is how someone with such hate for MS and the 360 allowed this problem to reach the count of 8 without bailing.

You either love pain or you're a big liar! I go with the ladder.

Sell it, sell your games and don't buy the "faulty" product. I don't want to defend the 360 hardware beyond saying the new systems appear to fix the issue. I can only speak for myself and say I'm not having any problems and the people I know who bought systems recently are having no issues as well.

Suck it Razer. I am on 360 number 4. Go ahead and poke your head in the sand. With it's narrow cranial design and pointed nature it shouldn't prove that difficult. After all it is quite obvious you have been doing just such a thing for some time.

This is a 360 issue, not a PS3 issue. There are enough 360 stories that are mysteriously earmarked for the PS3 section. You can keep this one. Avoiding the discussion so you can live in your 360-never-breaks pretend world does not make the truth less accurate or viable.

4.3 - I understand..but

I understand where all parties are coming from, however the story is getting old. WTF, his 8th one broken, okay we know there's a problem. How many times do you need to report it to the public.

I'm also sure it had nothing to do with the fall update. He installs the fall update, and while playing guitar hero, his 360 makes a wierd sound (Was he play GH with his system muted, so how did he hear the 360 make a wierd sound.) It's just the same old story being told over and over again. Then everyone else start to throw in their lame @$$ stats as to how many have broken on them blah, blah, blah.

Im's just saying, it's getting old. Shut up about it already.

I doubt this is true. After 3 returns ms sends out brand new xboxes. My bros box died once because if his own faul;t and 2 others just crapped out and when I called they sent him a brand new box not a refurbed.he hasnt had a problem since. Also I bought my 360 on launch day and I have not had 1 single problem. i play mine everynight.

7.1 - Mine died two weeks ago too

I love teh Xbox 360 and all the games that I have for it but I'm mad because my 360 always dies when something I really want to play comes out. Last time it was the Halo 3 beta and this time it's Mass Effect and the Burnout: Paradise demo. I haven't even been able to finish The Orange Box or F.E.A.R Files before my 360 died and now there's been a backlog of games I haven't bought yet since my 360 is a paperweight right now. At least I haven't had problems with customer assistance and I shipped my dead 360 last nite back to Microsoft. The guy at UPS told me he's on his 4th 360 and that he's seen many 360 coffins lately. I haven't even been able to get the dashboard update to see if my bootleg DiVx copy of Rob Zombie's Halloween works (I'm still buying the normal DVD on December 18th). C'mon Microsoft I love you but please reconfigure the 360 and make the damn thing reliable. I hate playing with the thought in the back of my mind that it could die at any moment. I've always treated my electronics good but I guess it's not good enough.

I feel for this guy.8 times is simply unacceptable.If my 360 dies more than once i ain't getting a new one.luckily i haven't had a problem with mine in 2 years.
Microsoft really needs to do something about this.3 year warranty is good but if it keeps happening then thats still not good enough.2 years is enough time for them to have sorted it out.
Well i here RROD is no longer 33% but less than half that now so hopefully things will improve

I think he might be exaggerating a bit. 8 consoles is just too much and the annoying thing is that the 360 has pretty dam good games. I want a ps3 maybe 2 times more than a 360, (because of the hardware and exclusive games) but i have to admit its kinda annoying when you want to play games like halo 3, froza, bioshock etc and the hardware being so moody...and the silver membership being abused isn't a good thing either...

This has more to do with the way they treat the console lieing to get hits. The dashboard update broke his 360 lol thats always been a hit getting subject very popular amoung the propaganda pushing sites. What did the update do over work the 360 heating it up to warp the boards and break the solder. lol

We all own 360's and we all like it much better than the PS3. No propaganda here dude, the thing just broke, again. And we are pissed. If you read our site, you would see that the Xbox360 has the biggest cloud. We are waiting on a response from MS with whom we have a strong relationship with.

I've been very very surprised that MS hasn't had a recall or that consumers haven't sued MS, or the simple fact that the quality control system that the US gov implements haven't fined MS for all the RRODs.

I just wish MS would just fix this problem already because I'm tired of hearing about RRODs and this whole situation just makes me seriously doubt the reliability of our government to protect consumers against such occurances

I think so as well.The new 360s with the 65nm are reliable.If it happened 8times he should definitely have received the new one by now.So are mere dashboard update can not over heat the system that much.

He might have broken it as a publicity stunt,because lets face facts ig the 360 was that unreliable i don't think there will be anyone willing to take the chance of buying a 360.

All I know is the failure rate has to be much higher than the 33% that Microsoft claims. I wouldn't be surprised if including multi-failures the failure rate was 75%+.

Here's to hoping the 360 I'm getting for X-Mas is better.
