360 has been left 4 dead!

Sadley it couldn't finish the fight......

New Xbox Experience brings RRoD


Oy vey... Looks like the New Xbox Experience dashboard update is experiencing some not-so-new Xbox woes. November 19: launch day for the NXE update. Not 24 hours after it went live, complaints are already piling up.

Various forums online have threads and threads of people reporting anything from connection freezes, slow downs, lock ups, broken TV connections, and so many other different numerical errors that, if all of them were strung together, could potentially measure all the way from Earth to the moon (and back).

No, but seriously though.

There are even reports of brickage - yes, the famed red ring of death is back. Some say it's limited to modded consoles only (no surprise there) but other untainted units seem to be affected by the same problem too.

We've yet to hear any official response from Major Nelson or any of the Microsoft staff. Some say the slow downs are caused by the simple fact of surging traffic accessing XBL, but the other problems are still unaccounted for.

If you are experiencing any problems with the NXE update, you might want to contact customer service (good luuuuuck!) or check out the forums to ask around if anyone's getting the same problem as you. Link Luckily it hasn't happened to me...hopefully it won't. :( 360 has been left 4 dead!
Been discussed several times over already. Even if this was new, it belongs in the sticky.360 has been left 4 dead!
So many puns in that post I just had to laugh :lol:
That sucks. I'll hold off on believing anything though until an official statement is released, or something else that is a little more official.
updated yesterday evening and didnt encounter any probs so far... hopefully it wont :)
Why would a software update cause a general hardware failure(RRoD)?

Other than a few lock ups, I have not noticed any red lights on my 360. :) My Wii did have a red light turn on however, Wonder if RRoD is infectious?

[/QUOTE] RROD is supposed to be a hardware defect caused by heat generated from reading discs. No cow can provide an argument or link that shows a software update could casue the overheating needed to create a RRoD...
This is BS, its not even possibleThe sad thing is that PS3 updates cause way more bricking
