the ring of death

[zeon9881]

i was searching 360 and i saw that their are many people that have gotton ring of death so would that mean if i buy one myine has a high chance of "dieing"

 

[Wii_Smurf]

No it doesn't
It's just bad luck I guess. Anyways if it does you can send it back to Microsoft

 

[WII60]

no, it will be fine as long as you keep it in a well ventalated area.

ive had no problem with mine

 

[Jay61]

It will die. Mark my words. Mine has plenty of space and I don't even have it on for long periodsof time but it broke. I have a ew one now, so hopefully it'll last longer.

 

[WII60]

well your just unlucky! i havnt had one problem with mine.

Jay61: how long do you keep yours on for roughly?
how often do you play it
what climate do you live in ?

 

[Jay61]

I had it under a year. I play it about 3-4 days for about 4-5 hours max. I use it for DVDs alot mind.

As for climate...I live in Wales. Enough said on that.

 

[Wii_Smurf]

Wales can be warm.... In the sunbed shops lol

 

[WII60]

haha so jay, are you saying that you played it 4-5 hours a day or in those 3-4days?

 

[Jay61]

Ah sorry I didnt make much sense there huh...

I play it about 3-4 times a week for around 4-5 hours (thats without DVD time).

 

[WII60]

ahhh, now your making sense jay. Ye i play mine evryday for about 1 hour maybe 1 and a half. When it starts to gt hot i usually stop to let it cool down, cause i'm safe like that!

like $10. :wink:

i find it's ALWAYS a slap in the face trading in games. i avoid it at all costs, as the return on my investment is extremely low. selling them on ebay is more time consuming but will almost always reap a bigger reward.

when i got my 360, i brought my gamecube with me, but they only offered me $20 for it. i decided it would be better off in another room of my apartment then as trade-in value.

someones bound to pay more on ebay zeon
