Hi guys, hope you’ve been enjoying yourself. I’ve been gaming all weekend and I’m gunnin for more. Gambling my chump change on Pro Evo Soccer against my mates. Fortunately I made 25 dollars this weekend, so I did pretty well hey?
Anyhow, from time to time I write articles on other websites, you can view my latest one at Ezine Articles below:
The Xbox 360 Red Ring Of Death Fix
Halo 3 has made 200m from it’s launch on September 15th. This is great news for Microsoft empire, especially considering a decline in retail sales.
More interestingly, the new Xbox 360 has sold well, despite concerns about the recurring Red Ring Of Death fault. Along with the Sony PS3 both consoles sold fast on their respective release dates.
According to Gamasutra Xbox 360 S sold faster in its first three months on sale (with a 90% year-on-year growth rate) in the US than the PS3 Slim managed in its opening quarter (with a 68.2% lift from the previous year).
The Red Ring Of Death is a god damn pain in the neck. You know what? A friend of mine Jason asked me which console he should get recently. I had a good mind to tell him to forget about the Xbox 360 because of the moderate to high failure rates due to the RROD, but I stopped short of doing so and instead gave the console my full recommendation based upon value for money.
You see, maybe you disagree, but you can’t beat the range of games, versatility, live gaming, internet and various other evolving functionalities.
The Xbox 360 has been around since 2005 and faced various problems. Lets just hope that when the new Xbox comes out, they’ll sort out the overheating problem.
Mind you, if you already have the RROD, don’t worry because there are ways you can fix it yourself and in doing so, it’ll give you a confidence that whenever it breaks down on your ass, you can pull out your handy screwdriver and repair the evil RROD yourself.
Just a thought…
