RRoD: Its that time of the month again!

Okay so that was an exaggeration. Its actually that time of the year again. The tag-line was just a funny i thought of... lol. Anyway so once again i got the Red Rings of Death. Whats funny is that its at the same time that it happened to me last year. This time around it is a hardware failure and not an overheat. Honestly i dont think its hit me yet how much this sucks. But ill tell you what it will in a couple weeks when Ninja Gaiden 2 and GRID come out.

I believe i have found a glitch with Xbox 360's. See my 360 went RRoD when i turned off my Xbox while unplugging my Play & Charge kit. If you have one you know that if you turn your Xbox offf with the Kit plugged in it charges your controller on power down mode. Well w/o realizing it i unplugged my P&K Kit while turning off my 360. And i got the imfamous Red Rings. This has happened before. About a week ago i did the same thing. My Xbox got the RRoD but continued to work. I guess doing it too mcuh ruins it. IDK, thats just my theory.

Anyway im quite distraught i just bought Ninja Gaiden Black for the orginals too. And thats pretty fun, but noooo my freaking reatreded Xbox wants to be a douche. I find it funny that my Xbox freaked out at the same time as last year, summer. Is there something about a Georgia summer that my xbox dosent like? LOL, i hope that Ms sends mt a completley new 360. I dont one my repaired one, it will just break again.

I must say though in about 7 minutes i got throguh the call process and they are sending me the repair box... so there one glimmer of good in this mess. I might just have to get a PS3 to fill my down time while i wait for it to get back. But first i need money, lol.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
