    Seems the video is fake and he used a vape, if you checkt he comments. Not the way smoke from tech equipment looks and also it dies down before the video ends.

    When I got the red ring I sent my 360 into Microsoft for warranty coverage and they sent me back 2 360s a few weeks apart.

    There are definitely issues in other cases, yea.
    Reminds me of my 360 back in the day, had two ones with a RROD that had to be replaced, plus the last one had an issue where the drive often didn't open or close.
    There's even an entire help site for that disc drive issue on the Microsoft website lol.

    Red ring of death and shifting the 360 with a disc in it, scratched the **** out of it. Rip to your disc- scratched ring of death

    honest question how does something that common make it to production? like what was missed....i assume there has to be some quality control people on the console side of these companies. i mean they aren't making the systems in the factories but someone isn't overseeing it?

    Im sure it was more of a design flaw than it was a quality control issue.

    The issue was xclamps bending the mainboard due to the heat and then severing the gpu&cpu from the board, they should've either went with a different mechanism or better material.

    But yea like Flyer said, it's a bit baffling they didn't detect the issue before shipping the consoles out, as basically everyone you talk to had a RROD and the percentage was absurdly high.

    eventually they made a good system for the 360.

    both new systems are AMD base and have huge heat sinks.

    The Series X is sick. So fast. Need to get a better TV to maximize it, though.

    Naw that dude is a chode, I had a family medical situation going on the night Xbox released and didn’t bother to do the midnight thing. I also ignored the earlier pre order thinking there would be plenty on release, but clearly that was a mistake.
