RROD is the biggest cause of system failure in 360's. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I think when some component overheats, the whole thing shuts down, resulting in whatever disc was in the 360 being destroyed and the console being dead. The name RROD comes from the 3 red rings that show up when you get it on the console.

I'm really tired of all these console wars....seriously.
Okay ps3 may have the better graphics, but 360 has the better community. And I enjoy the online community a lot. I have both consoles and I hardly touch my ps3 because I enjoy talking to people. And I'm not one who's all gaga for graphics and crap, I get a game I like and enjoy and play it. Okay sure the 360 has some problems...big deal!

SO SHUT UP AND KEEP YOUR CONSOLE WAR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF.

You enjoy the large population of 8 year olds? Not trying to start anything, but that's the largest complaint I hear about when talking to my friends who own 360s. Next to the RRoD and e75/e74/eSeventy-Something.

@melly: The Red Rings of Death is when the Xbox 360 just dies. Then you send it in, wait about a month, get it back.

@Carl: Damn, use spoilers please. I hate scrolling through worthless comments.

k basically about rood, for melly and everyone else that dont really understand, its from too much heat and inside the system, wires and a circuit board detach or something, in other words, just a general hardware failure that cost Microsoft billions which they couldve avoided if they werent cheap @$$holes and and took their time making it instead of trying to put out a system a year earlier than ps3/wii

They thought they were making a smart business choice back then, but it cam back to bite them in the butt.

I suppose they could have avoided it, but the main question is now; Why haven't they tried getting rid of it?

i honestly dont know, i mean, maybe they just put out the 3 year warranty made it run a bit cooler with the new boards and said screw it, atleast this might save it from dyeing until the warranty's up then we can make more money?

also note, ps3 has a yellow light of death, but that only affects 2% of them, and its just from people keeping them in the smallest spaces without ventilation and filled with dust, its not a thing thats gonna happen for sure to every single one even if its not in a small space with no ventilation like the 360.

yeah but as long as theres at least 5-7 inches of ventilation on each side that has a fan or vent, dont worry about it, just dont leave it running for like 10 hours at a time in a 100F+ room. also, make sure to vacuum the vents holding the vacuum about 2 inches away from the ps3 at least once a month, i dust mine daily witha microfiber cloth, i can see the dust on it every morning when i open my blinds and the daylight shines on it.

i do keep my console war stuff to myself, or i would, the only reason it happens is cause i start a thread about psn ids or something or a ps3 exclusive thing like the slim or a new game, and all these 8 year olds *coughnookforexamplecough* come in there and make the most ********, fanboy themed posts, then myself, or some other person, has to straighten them out about how the wii cant be compared to 360/ps3 and in come the flamers.

This just reminded me of something that happened on the bus today.

Okay, so there was this little kid(4th grade) and he turns around and looks at me and goes," DO YOU HAVE AN XBOX360 WITH XBOX LIVE AND HALO 3???" So I said,"No, I don't play on that crappy system."
"Well your just a loser nerd who plays on computers all day!"
*Under my breath* "Well at least I am not a 360FAG"
"WHAT? What grade are you in?!?!?"
"Im in 7th"
"NUH UH, you are in 6th grade because 7th grade is HIGH SCHOOL!"

LOLOLOL
