yeah, buy a $299 xbox, purposely rrod it, and get xbox elite.

I did a similar strategy with my ipod nano video chubby one... it froze at certain times, and i wanted an 8gb instead of 4gb, so i took it to shop, froze it, and said 'look its frozen, i want new, actually, i pay $50 more and i get 8gb plz?' and the guy at myer said 'no.'
I had to give to them to repair or replace, and it ended up being replaced a brand new 4gb which couldnt be swapable for 8gb.

So yeah, emytaylor164 should tell her brother's friend to rrod it one last time to get an elite, which has some sort of 45nm falcon chip, or something, that fixed the rrod problem.

All new consoles have the awesome chipsets, now. The RROD problem hasn't really been a 'problem' since about a year ago, when new chipsets came out.

And it doesn't take long for MS to repair (you could get it within the same week) and theyll give u an extra month of Xbox Live Gold.

can someone tell me how to purposely give my xbox 360 3 RROD, so i can send mine in for the 3 year warranty. i tried the towel (well i used a blanket) trick, to try to overheat it, is there any other way?

Buying a 360 is in itself, a mistake ;0

But honestly, i hate people who try to rort the system =/

1 game vs millions of quality shit on the 360.

Regardless the PC is the superior gaming platform.
ha, nah man, just take out th quality and leave th shit man. at least playstation games alow u t finish th game before the next one comes out (or th rrod happens, so unfortunat for u :)D)). oh and it's not the quantity of th games but th quality, out of all th xbox 360 games ive hardly seen any improvement to when it came out, on th ps3 howeva there is so much potential for this machine that theres so much room to add little things that make a game so worth playing and make it so it isn't just a generic peice of crap.
