Rrod

[WetWired]

My roommate's XBox360 Elite just red ringed. It's completely open on 5 sides (it's even 3 feet from the wall behind it) and it was only on for 5 minutes before it died.

How do you blame that on user error?

[Thanatos]

How long has he had it and how often does he use it?

[WetWired]

Had it about 16 months and probably 3 times a week on average. He plays a lot of PC games, so it can go long periods without use.

Because he wasted his money on the elite... lol

[Asamin]

But the elite is so much cooler!

[Kazilla]

I read somewhere the only visual difference in the ELITE version and your basic version is a little bit of shadow.

[Asamin]

But a black Xbox is so much cooler!

4875

You would spend all that extra money for a black xbox? lol

[Asamin]

Sharpie doesn't look as good.

It also has a larger HD and an HDMI output (which was not available on other models at the time he bought it).

I don't know off hand how much space my Xbox has. I'm going to say 15GB just because it's a number I pulled out of my ass. I don't play the arcade crap, so I deleted all of it. I have every bit of my HD space open. How are people using up any of it?

I download tons of TV shows and a truckload of Arcade games. I ran out of space on my HD.

Is that what MS said when he rang up to get it fixed?

[WetWired]

DLC for games. Especially Rock Band.

That is what computers are for, as well as arcade games.

All I have ever downloaded has been a mappack for CoD4.

Correction, that is what computers can be used for. As well as a 360. Everyone has their own preferences, not everyone has to be exactly like you. Myself, I prefer to download a TV show or Arcade game on my 360 and play it on my big flat screen TV with custom sound tracks and a wireless controller sitting on my couch. Or I guess I could do the alternate and download TV shows and games to my computer and sit in a computer chair right in front of a smaller screen....

DLC for games.

That just reminded me of a, sadly, off-topic question that just needs a simple answer.

Whenever I look at the different playlists on Halo 3, it says something like: Heroic DLC required. Does DLC stand for Down loadable content or something else?

[WetWired]

Probably downloadable content

[Asamin]

Thank you. BTW, did your friend play Madden 09? My next door neighbor played it for a bit and got the rrod.

[WetWired]

Not to my knowledge.

[Asamin]

Just asking cuz when he put it in my Xbox, I got the rrod and instantly shut off my xbox. I think that is what saved me.
