So a little less than a year ago my Xbox 360 red ringed on me, the third 360 I
\nmight add, and at the time I didn\u2019t have the funds to go buy a new on and after
\ndays of trying to fix my 360 that was out of warrantee myself I gave up. \u00a0\u00a0Then
\nthe Microsoft gods graced us with the new Xbox 360. \u00a0It has a 250gb hd, its
\nsmaller, comes with built in wireless n, and biggest selling point Microsoft
\nswears that it will shut its self down before it red rings. \u00a0So of course being
\nXboxless I threw away old busted and went and purchased the new hotness. \u00a0Less
\nthan 6 months after buying the console I have already sent it back once.
\nApparently instead of making a fully stable system the decided just to focus on
\nthe red ring issue by making the CPU and GPU a single chip and adding a more
\nefficient fan. \u00a0Well as I read about it, I see that yeah the system won\u2019t red
\nring due to shutting its self off prior to freezing. \u00a0But what it will do is
\ncause the power brick light to turn red and stop working, this is now being
\ncalled the red brick of death. \u00a0I could deal with that, the problem I keep
\nrunning into is the DVD drive. \u00a0What happens is it will let me play and get into
\nthe game then all the sudden it tells me clean disc error even with new games
\nlike Fallout New Vegas. \u00a0And the best part I just received the repaired console
\nback and after about an hour of New Vegas it has started again.<\/p>\n

My suggestion is if you are looking to get a new 360 buy the original one it was
\nmore reliable at least you could get a good year and a half out of it before it
\nred rings. \u00a0I give this new console a four out of five on the Bag O Dicks meter
\nfor having the same if not more problems.<\/p>\n

P.S. \u00a0\u00a0Hey Microsoft\u2026\u2026 You have beaten Sony over and over again in the gaming
\nfield. \u00a0How about instead of rushing a product to have it out to compete with
\nothers you fire everyone of your peace of shit quality control and product
\ntesting employees and hire some real gamers who can really test the system and
\nmake a console that fucking works<\/p>\n
