Top 5: Things that can go wrong with your Xbox 360

MisterRandom writes: "I suppose that "Top" is not really the best term for this but after yet another Xbox 360 departing to silicon heaven through me exchanging it due to frequent disc read errors I have decided to create a list of the Top 5 things that are likely to go wrong with Your Xbox 360. It should be noted that I think the Xbox 360 is a fantastic console it is just a shame about the build quality or rather lack of it."

wow dont people got better things to do other than make a list of something that we already know and dont care about?

butbutbuttehcell5549d ago

Turns out this guy hasn't. Which is pretty pathetic. How could this article possibly help in any way? It's like saying a TV will break if your house is in an earthquake. Great, but not a lot I can do...

Information Minister5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

What if the TV breaks even without an earthquake?

I don't care how you spin it! There are no special unpredictable circumstances that can be considered responsible for all the problems with the 360 (unless you consider rushed development and absolute disregard for your costumers as "special circumstances").

If your brand new hardware breaks down after a few months of normal usage, you know it's poorly built and lacks quality. And that is simply unacceptable. Or are you trying to tell me that all those bricked 360s so far, malfunctioned during/after an earthquake? Because that's a LOT of earthquakes!

Hey, I think I heard about this like 2 years ago. ^__^

gamfreak5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

alright, but for the bots RROD or other hardware issue never really exist.

SL1M DADDY5549d ago

Gets instant recognition in public. People who don't even play games know about the issue and when they see that pic they instantly recognize it as the "Xbox". Funny stuff.

Revvin5549d ago (Edited 5549d ago )

Its a valid article, yes they do go wrong and more importantly in the 360's case they have a high rate of failure. Thats not to say the PS3 doesn't have issues and an article of how the Blu-Ray may fail or you could get the yellow light of death would be just as valid though to be fair to Sony their consoles problems don't appear to be at such a high rate as Microsoft's. I had two RROD's and traded my third 360 in for a PS3 and have recently bought a 360 again. Unfortunately consumer electronics don't appear to be as robust as they once were which is why I take out cover plans such as Sony's Continuous Play scheme and bought an extended warranty at the shop I bought my 360 Elite from.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM2h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.

Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.

Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...

CrimsonWing691d 17h ago

Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.

This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦‍♂️

remixx1161d 9h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff21831d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.

I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also

Also crimson.

As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself

Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp

Tacoboto1d 1h ago

You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.

And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
