Posted December 17, 2007 How do you force RROD? Lol/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2007 Put your 360 in a hot enclosed space with a towel around it and leave it on for a few hours. Microsoft piss me off. Apparantly my account has been suspened due to a problem with payment, and i need to change my card details to fix it, but, i cant as my account is suspeneded so i cant go into account options as i am essentially banned from live.

Posted December 17, 2007 ok so i sent off mt xbox to get "repaired" last thursday when the rrod happened to you how long did it take for them to send it back to you? driving me nuts having no 360 to play lol got mass effect off bro for xmas and just discovered my folks have got me call of duty 4...and i cant play them!!! dam it dam it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2007 Took me about 4 days. Sent it Monday got it Thursday. They're meant to be slightly more rubbish now though. Could be any time. I assume you'll be getting it back with nice new insides now though, so hopefully it wont feck up again. Gutted for everyone without a console at Christmas. I personally think Microsoft should put a lot more effort into getting it back to owners quicker at this time, as people are going to want their consoles more than ever at this time.

I personally think Microsoft should put a lot more effort into getting it back to owners quicker at this time, as people are going to want their consoles more than ever at this time. Very true. Its crazy the amount of 360s breaking down around Christmas though. I was on the xbox.com forums the other day and alot of people were saying how theirs had broke down. To be fair it was probably no more than normal just more people were talking about it as its near Christmas. As for the time it takes BeerMonkey, its pretty random. My first one I sent back took nearly 2 months to get back to me but my second arrived back to me within 2 weeks. Saying that the second one made dodgey sounds when it came back so it wasnt long after I got my Elite I traded that one in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 18, 2007 Lol is there any way to force RROD? That towel idea would probably work but also likely set my house on fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 Sorry to spoil your thinking on that. The towel trick does not force the RROD. I've tried. Multiple times. In a row. It does not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 Meh wishful thinking never hurt. I've paid the buggers now anyway. Does anyone know if I have to package it up myself or will they send me a box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 When you say force you mean as in go away? In that case the towel trick worked temporarily for my friend.... When he wants to play he has to do the towel trick and his xbox works for a couple of hours before dying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 No they mean, they want their xbox to display the RROD. The towel trick does work for making the RROD go away, but in this case they are wanting the opposite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 Ahh got confused because usually the towel trick helps you from RROD :Þ Dosen´t the xbox get the RROD because of overheating? If so have you tried putting it into a bag with the power brick and turn it on and leave it like that for a while? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 New Huxley gameplay video http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/huxley-cbt-gameplay-334757.php Give! I'm not too sure about Huxley after seeing that footage. It looks too much like an 'arena' type of game, rather than a MMOFPS. I thought this would have much more of a structure to it, rather than just run n gun like the majority of deathmatch shooters. Don't get me wrong, I love fast-paced shooters, but with Huxley's MMO style, I don't think it'd work. They should probably show more than just combat, as it would give a better impression of the game. Until then, count me out. Disappointing really. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 18, 2007 I decided to go back on Naruto. That game is so full of glitches and flaws and just plaing annoying stuff. I need to complete 1 more race then I'm gonna start again so I can get one of the peoples missions directions because it's not guiding me when I chose it on my options. theres not that many areas to explore, why not just run to them all and see if you can find the objective (which I said before). I think I had the same problem with that mission but eventually after running around a bit a marker appeared. If you start again you might just find the same thing happens.

Posted December 18, 2007 I guess that's the case. I kinda want to start again to play through it with the Japanese voices. Oh and Shikamaru's up for download if anyone plays it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 Ended up downloading the Burnout Paradise Demo anyway.. All I have to say is, I won't be buying it. If I receive it as a gift, then cool, but I definitely am not buying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2007 I reckon all the 360 breaking might be because people are sticking the central heating on full which causes them to overheat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
