    Rumor: Modern Warfare 2 causing lots of RRoD's

    Big rumor here. Apparently there is reason to believe that Modern Warfare 2 is putting the number of RRoD's for the Xbox 360 up on the increase. Perhaps its all too much to handle for some of the older models?

    <blockquote>Reports have been rolling across the Gamesmen Media Desk, as of the last four days, from our small community and their friends lists. Reports about what, you say? The dreaded Red Ring of Death, of course. If the numbers multiply on a percentage basis, it would seem that Xbox360’s could very well be dropping like flies. Again. What game was spooling and spinning as these unfortunate circumstances occurred? Modern Warfare 2.</blockquote>

    Has nothing to do with the game itself. It's just currently the most popular 360 game out right now so the most likely to be the game being played when the person's 360 kicks the bucket. Mine died playing Assassin's Creed II but I don't blame the game, it's the faulty hardware.

    Banned people cannot get repairs from microsoft.

    Funny how reports of breakage tend to occur shortly after the release of a game people actually want to play, hey? Perhaps the real puzzle around shovelware continuing to be released despite being a lousy business model can safely be considered solved?

    Yess they can so long as the seal is not broken on the case after you have reverted the firmware. Many 360's have seals in places when they come nowhere near showing when a case is opened, so no broken seal means no voided warranty. I know of people that have done this, i myself have done it twice for friends (i work at home a lot so it's easier to get stuff delivered to me).

    Try to start a repair ticket on a banned console. Maybe it was possible in the past, but it doesn't work anymore. Having your console banned from Live also voids the warranty.

    Ok just to join in...

    I had this happen on My halo xbox and a 2nd xbox while playing MW2.
    It wasnt the game technicly that caused it, but the game does max your 360 out.
    Funny thing is, I turned the xboxes off, and turned them back on to see them boot fine with a big YOUR BANNED messge pop up lol

    OOps





    Dont trade your games to gamestop for crap

    This doesn't seem very fair...

    Modern Warfare 2, one of the biggest games and tons of 360-players are missing out because of faulty hardware.

    Mine is an April 2006 model and 14 hours of non-stop MW2 and AC2 play without any issue.
