danposs86 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 My 360 died on me a while ago, I did the x-clamps fix and it lasted just over 6 months before it died again, not bad for a £4 fix. I tried it again hoping to get another 6 months, but alas, it wasnt to be. So I went on the look out for a cheap 360. I found on on eBay local to me being sold by an indoor market console games seller, it was up for £30. It had RROD. I went to have a look at it and found that it had been sent in for repair as it had new seal stickers. I had taken a few games with me that I hadnt played in ages, they came to £20, so for the sake of a tenner I bought it. Got home and got straight onto the phone to Xbox to get the registration put in my name. While on the phone I asked if I could get it fixed because it had RROD. He said the warrenty had passed and that it would cost £80 to fix. I was a little gutted, however I checked online the day after and it showed that I could get it repaired for free. Off it went, and 9 days later a package arrived, I had been tracking the order on UPS so knew it was due today, I quickly opened the box and there was a brand new 360 and 1 months Gold Membership for my 9 days of trouble. Needless to say, I am quite happy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidrick Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Almost everyone I know with a 360 has had the RROD at some point, and none of them have had a problem with Microsoft Edited June 2, 2010 by sidrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogomollie Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 How do you check online? I have found myself buying a few 360's with RROD and done the X-Clamp Fix then i sell them on but it might be worth checking if there under warranty etc. You never now it might happen to me hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
