360 update causing freeze ups and RRoD

[glaber]

Recently, I and many other have downloaded the latest update only to find our 360 unplayable after aprox 5 minuets. At the moment it looks like Microsoft is trying to cover up this issue, but being one of the affected I will not be silenced!

And yet all it was, was a HDMI sound fix...

Mine's running just fine.

You must have one of the later models with the Jasper hardware. Mine was one of the old 2006 models.

That was mean. Twenty bucks says you're on a Microsoft computer.

That was mean. Twenty bucks says you're on a Microsoft computer.

Twenty more says he has no choice due to Windows's (unfortunately) superior compatibility.

Well, that's the only reason I use it.

Considering that Microsoft makes the software(Windows) and not the hardware(the machine itself), I doubt he's actually using a Microsoft computer.

That said, as a Windows user, it does have it's moments of pure fail.

I'm using neither. I always use my Wii!

What Are They Doing!!! I hate the 360 but even I can see this is ridiculous.
They mare going to lose so much money on this. All they have to do Is release a patch That prompts before the RROD download. But It appears they have lost there minds. Has anyone tried sending this news to ALL the news sites? Maybe then Microsoft would fix this!!! *grabs pitchfork*(I'm sorry but seriously this is a ridiculous crime. and too all of you who are unsympathetic, suppose Nintendo or Sony did something like this?
And glaber I'm going to try to spread the news. Hopefully Microsoft will come to their senses.)

Mine has already RRoD'd, I've had it repaired, motherboard and disc drive replacement.

Of course, this can be another valid reason why I don't like Xbox or any other Microsoft gaming systems. So long as my Wii doesn't have this problem, I won't have to complain.

My XBOX 360 works fine but each time I put a game in it scratches it up for NO REASON! I hate 360...

 

[ZarroTsu]

I predict Microsoft getting a lawsuit from 80% of Xbox360 owners worldwide. Bill gates will go bankrupt, the 360 will fail as a console, and everyone will be forced to own a Nintendo or Sony console.

The way it was meant to be... P:

Bill gates will go bankrupt, the 360 will fail as a console, and everyone will be forced to own a Nintendo or Sony console.

Then again, Sony fails as a console too, doesn't it?

THERE'S A SLIGHT CHANCE IT DOES:

Well since you already when through the hassle, does redownloading affect the games when not hooked up to the internet?

 

[Cue]

Redownloading? They didn't take my hard drive...

Downloaded the update, mine was fine.
