It Is About Time Microsoft Fixed The 360
Now I for one am a big fan of the Xbox 360, it is my favourite console of this generation and this is coming from someone who owns all of the main three as well as the portable ones too. Just because it is my favourite it doesn’t mean that the console itself wasn’t released with some problems that are still perhaps not fixed.
I actually still have my original 20GB console which is of course the first to be released and I somehow managed to get mine on month of release as a Christmas presents with two games. I was stuck with Kameo and King Kong as my very first two games for the console on a small tv which has now all changed. The only reason people buy King Kong now is to get the easy achievement points from and Kameo is always seen coming in at around £10. Of course a lot of games go down in price overtime because they are now made in such large quantities.
The main issue is with the console and not the games. If you have an xbox 360 then you know te pain and outrage you feel when you see the box showing the red rings of death, basically if you are not aware of this it means the console is dead.
I have been through two repairs with my console and it is something that hasnt been fixed even for the newest of Elites. The problem is that there are not enough fans within the console to keep it cool which is what makes the soldering melt and destroy the motherboard. There is a way you can fix the console for a short period of time, wrap it in a wet towel, this will not make it work for long so it is best to get it sent off.
Why not put more fans into the system? It is already loud enough, putting more fans in is not going to help this at all. The stupid thing is that it is something that will have to be tolerated until the next console realease. The repair service is free within three years purchase which is nice and it hasn’t stopped me from ordering my brand new 250GB special edition “super” elite.
It is funny how far ac fans and a few electrical components can go isn’t it?
