Does xbox 360 really break down as much as i hear?

Question

i hear about the RROD and how it freezes and it ruins games or something or another. does it break easily?i wasnt sure. because i only hear 2 things about it.

1. how great xbox live is

2. how much it breaks

Answer 1

well it does break alot thats a huge problems but they have some of the best games and best online i would highly reccomend it so i think you should get it

Answer 2

nooo...., only if u put it inside a blanket, and scratch it, its like saying ipods are bad, i love it, only it is loud, but is cheap, great graphics

Answer 3

yes you need to get a wii

Answer 4

They used to break ALOT!!

But now the failure rate has gone down alot.

The newer 'falcon' motherboards have a larger heatsink and a new CPU which uses less heat which was a major cause in the problem in older Xbox 360s. I can't say that they are definetely not going to break, however they are alot more realiable now.

As for the disk scratching problem, just don't turn the console from horizontal to vertical and vice-versa when it's on.

Answer 5

First, Xbox Live is the best on line gaming there is.

The Red Ring of Death is old news.  The original release versions of the system did that, the new versions do not.  That issue is moot.

Answer 6

look up the red ring of death! utube it!

Answer 7

Only if you leave them in cramped up spaces

If you get it an intercooler it will be fine!

Xbox live is very great :)

Answer 8

you just have to take care of it

dont keep it in a closed area. ... it will over heat

dont yank or push you disc tray... it could fuckit up

dont leave it on overnight(unless you are playing it)

try to remove dust from the fan to reduce the possibilty of overheating

see the peoples who get RLOD probably play twice as much as you will and dont take the best care of it

Answer 9

It doesn't break as much anymore if you have the newest mobo, DVD drive, and CPU.
