I haven't completely updated yet, as in updated past the initial update into NXE, but what's available so far is great. Shitty internet ftl.

I LOVE the fact you can now disable Auto-Run now. That pissed me off before. >_>

Installing is great as well. Really cuts down on those pesky load times.
Seriously fast now. As an example, it used to take about 2 minutes to load into a garden on Viva Pinata. Now it takes about 20 seconds to go from start, to a Garden.

I downloaded it.

I played L4D for a while.

I waited for a map to load.

It froze.

I restarted.

RRoD. One month after warranty. I knew it was going to do it. I just knew it. I sat there saying "if I update, this thing is fucked." But I was goaded into doing it by some people. Yay for peer pressure >_>

However, apparently my 360 is in fact a zombie now, because it died and reanimated itself. I didn't touch it for a whole day, and just said fuck it and flipped it on for shits and giggles. It lives again.

Launch 360? I've been hearing a LOT of problems with that happening and the Launch 360s and the new NXE update... Because the warranty for ALL RRODs was increased from 1 year to 3 years.

And. Yeah. I've heard of that as well. Sometimes the RROD doesn't completely kill it, and it will continue to live for a little while, before completely dying.

Nope. Not a launch 360, at least that I know of. Actually it's my 3rd 360. First one died uh...when Gears 1 came out with the real big November update that they did. That one went 3 light. Second one died just before the Halo 3 beta (I had actually gotten an email to where I could have gotten into the beta like a week early because my name was picked at random or some shit). That one went full circle which means that it decided it no longer wanted to detect the A/V cable.

When I bought the first one I had been hearing all the problems that they were having and how MS was being a bitch, so I got a two-year powerbomb insurance warranty from Best Buy. I wanted to do that since when they fucked up, I just throw it back in the box, grab the receipt, go to BB, have some geek squad guy hook it up and go 'yeah it's fucked,' grab a new one, switch out the hard drives since I wanted to keep mine, and off I go. That was in October of '06. So of course in November of '08, this thing decides to die, and then wise fwom it's gwave. If it dies again, I could just go get an arcade one (well...when I can afford one anyway), but I want to get a larger hard drive anyway since you can download games to make them faster now, probably just get an elite.

And the thing that REALLY pisses me off is that I can go back home, dig in my closet, and turn on my Nintendo which is older than just about everyone here with no problems. WTF MS, WTF.

If you RRoD'd, and it wasn't a launch 360, wouldn't it still be covered by the 3-year warranty? (since launch 360s only expired today).

Yeah, dude. You're still covered under Microsoft if you bought it in 2006. Just call Microsoft, and they'll fix it.
I believe the number is 1-800-4MY-XBOX

They'll send you a box and everything. MAKE SURE YOU *DO NOT* PUT YOUR FACEPLATE OR HARDDRIVE IN THE BOX. You won't get those back.
