Xbox 360 RROD in a Best Buy Store

Xbox 360 RROD
When products are on sale in stores you expect them to be at their best, one gamer took a quick video on his mobile phone of an Xbox 360 with the RROD at a Best Buy Store.

You can see the 8 second video below; I would have to agree that I cannot see air flow in the display cabinet…I also wonder why an Xbox 360 branded display would not have ventilation.

The Xbox 360 instruction manual says “should be placed in a well ventilated area”, so if the game console gets the red ring of death in their own display cabinets, why do we not see the Sony PS3 or Nintendo Wii’s doing the same thing.

  1. Am i missing something? Thats not even the shape let alone the color of a 360. This is some fake ass shit.

  2. By the way my 360 manufactured 10/2005 has never had no rings of death just the loud ass dvd drive is my only complaint which i hear ya can stop if ya mod the 360.

    @ SF11

    Are you seriously trying to make out the PS3 is as unreliable as the 360?

    YOU IDIOT!

    Google “PS3 repair” and you get 6,440 hits. Do the same with “360 repair” and you get 99,500. Google “broken PlayStation 3″ and “broken ps3″ and you get a total of 10,800 hits while just “broken xbox 360″ on its own gets you 95,400.

    The PSX3’s official failure rate is 0.02%. Microsoft wont even release the 360’s failure rate because its so bad but its at least 10% which makes the 360 over 500 times more unreliable no matter how much you ignore it or try and shift attention.

    Grow up you fool.

    This is not proof this is a Microsoft error. Anyone who has a 360 knows that if you don’t plug in the a/v adapter well it will also give you this 3 red rings. Nice try though pswii fanboys.

  8. Sony says:

    Daniel, why don’t you take a long walk off of a short pier. Even you, as a “former” 360 owner knows that 3 rings comes from lack of connection to a display. You truly are pathetic. If a product is truly inferior, then there is no need to misinform (LIE) to your unknowing readers. When I’m giving it to your console, the BS3, I speak truthfully, no special effects…just facts! I know you wish your console played like the prerendered aka fake footage it advertises. Man, misery truly loves company. Keep the lies alive. BOOM!!! HAHA!

    @wqwqwq

    No, you’re obviously the IDIOT, i was showing how easy it is to troll, show a video of a broken console and try and make some kind of point out of it.

    You’re quite happy when this site does it because it is not your beloved console but when i do it just to point out how dumb it is you go on a rant, calling me names you wouldn’t dare to my face is no hard and it’s not clever.

    PLAYSTATION 3 is the most reliable console on earth i can let it on for a week. If you leave your Xb0x 360 for a couple hours it will blow up like a bomb. Xbox 360 has a massive failure rate. Xbox 360 can’t never match the PS3 perfection… Sony.”like.no.other”
