How to get a new free Xbox 101
(if it still has warranty)

I did the trick of moving the console with the disc still inside

I did after mine kicked the bucket and it did work.

Kek my xbox caught in fire becuase of this. Granted I did get anothet r hours outta it

My friend had a red-ringed console and we did this every few weeks to get it working again. Eventually he sent the console in to get it fixed, but the towel trick was a quick fix to be able to play a few more days.

I did this twice, once with my friend's game.
That KKKKRKRRRRRRRRR fucking terrified me.

For all of five minutes

I did the buy a new one and switch it out with the RROD Xbox and return it trick.

Worked like a charm

>not just doing the tilt trick
Not going to prepare for a beach day every time my xbox stops working.

>shit's overheating
>making it even hotter fixes it

Nah. Went to a hardware store and bought $2 worth of washers. Spent 5 minutes opening it up and fixing Microsoft's shit design that caused the motherboard to bend. Infact, that shitbox still works today.

>when you go over 255 it loops to 0
really makes you think

>Own earliest model of 360
>Hasn't red ringed to this day
Next up: winning the lottery.

>rent games right as the 360 launches before blockbuster made you put down a CC if you ruined discs
>hear weird ass buzz when i go to move the console upright
>hear it 3 more times that weekend because i was a retarded child
>ruined PGR3, Kameo and King Kong, took them back like nothing happened, never use that blockbuster again

I actually tried it when getting really stressed and trying to fix it before even knowing about this method, and accidentally fixed it, no idea what REMOTELY possessed me to try this

I think it only worked for a day or two. The thing was probably gonna RROD anyway but looking back I think the risk of it tipping over for better ventilation would've been better.

Oven trick it is for me

I can probably attribute half the anxieties I had as a young teenager back to an underlying fear that my 360 was going to break and it broke 3 times from 14 to 18. Probably why Im PC and nintendo only in my mid 20s.

Overflow magic.

sleep tighte boxer

this is all I see OP

>tfw had an xbox 360 elite
>then a xbox 360 slim
>no RRoD ever

It worked for me twice. it only happened when I played gears of war 2, so I quickly gave up on playing that game.

The fuck, how? There's a serial number on the box, console and receipt. If they don't match up, it's an obvious scam. Unless the guys at the store you bought it from are fucking idiots

It was a different time.

When my 360 got RRoD I just went traded it in at gamestop and thus got a discount on a new one

I dont fucking understand why they took it, is that a common practice for them? Do they really take RRoD consoles and do something with them, or did the employee that made it happen for me not know what he was doing?

why would you still pay on a discounted for 360 at gamestop when microshaft would just swap it for free out of courtesy?

Or you could have just reapplied the thermal paste to fix it properly.

tfw i used to fix friends and friend of friend's rrod 360s. and by fix i mean just simply opening the thing up and replacing it's thermal paste. i'd charge them $80 per fix. made enough to buy myself a ps3 and a nice 52 inch tv

Same. Never had RROD or anything like that but I severely fucked up my GTA IV disc by accidentally nudging the console when it was stood upright with the disc spinning. I've never stood a console upright until I got a 360 and I never did it again after that.

They send it back to M*crosoft and refurbish the shit out of it.
Then two months later some poor retard buys your dead xbox with a discount and the circle continues.

do u kno wat refurbished means?

The repairing would have taken a month
Dunno about the americas, but in my country you have to send it abroad for weeks and weeks
Ahh
ok then

>Have had my fat backwards compat PS3 since launch.
>Month before Persona 5 comes out it decides it can't load discs anymore.
>Forever hangs up on loading bars.
>Can play Demon's Souls for about 30 minutes before all the walls vanish and I'm running through a skybox.

IT ISN'T FAIR!
