The Ring of Fire!

If only Johnny Cash had lived to hear this! Anyway, this is a parody of the famous country song, lamenting the high failure rate of the Xbox 360. My own system hasn't died yet, but I still got a good laugh out of this.

Hehehe, much better than i expected.

 

Funny and terrifying, all at once....

Funny song, sad but true. Microsoft better figure out that hardware revision soon or they are gonna blow their year lead in the console wars

There's also a Def Leppard song called "Ring of Fire." But I think it has something to do with sex...

My system hasn't had any problems yet, and I pray that it doesn't either.

The 360 is hands down the worst system ever made in regards to breaking down. My advice is to pick up an extended warranty if possible. Altho the recent news that the red ring issue will be covered under warranty for 3 years, when consoles start getting as expensive as the 360 and the PS3 it's worth the $30 a year to keep it in its warranty in my opinion.

Mine just died last night, which is the first time EVER, that I've had a system break after only a year or so. Fortunately, I bought it at Costco, so I have a new one now.

 

I know four people who've had them fail too. The 360 is a great system (as far as fun value), but it's the most unreliable piece of electronics I've owned since the ninties. At least Microsoft extended the warranty.

Well add me to the list of people with broken 360 Turned on the 360 tonight, popped in King Kong...game froze.....turned off the system than on again, screen was "garbled"....turned it off a second time........no video and then the 3 FUCKING RINGS!

 

This is my first EVER console to die on me and i'm pretty pissed off right now. I always kept the 360 in perfect shape and now this has to happen. What a peice of crap. Tomorrow i'm going to smash this thing with a sledgehammer and plege never to buy another one of these poorly made piles.

 

I loved the original Xbox and still do, but I hope the 360 goes to hell and I hope MS gets out of the console game. Now I need to cancel my pre-order for Halo 3 because i'm never buying another 360. F you MS

Why would you smash it with a hammer when you can send it to them free of charge and have it fixed?

It is frustrating tho, I'm hoping along with the extended 3 year warrenty they are correcting the problem when you send it to them.

Seems silly for them to be spending a billon + dollars and not address the issue. They have to know what the problem is by now.

Seems like you've had good luck then

 

I wouldn't worry about it...just send it back and MS will fix it for free. You'll have it back within a week.

 

Frustrating...yes...end of the planet...no
