The 360 has been reworked like four times and the problem has been extinct for a while now. The cooling system has been reworked in the Slim as well as the Jasper models, and it's very unlikely to get the RROD now.

And i don't think anyone would buy a 360 just to play this game. lol

I thought it was impossible for the slim 360 to RROD.

I thought it was impossible for the slim 360 to RROD.

It pretty much is, the RROD was caused due to the shitty heatsink and paste they used on the GPU... the heatink when heated enough would slide off of the GPU and cause it to overheat and cause the RROD's.

With the slim, they instead put a massive heatink over both the CPU and GPU with a large fan on top of it to cool everything down. I think this is definitely going to help.

Thought they used a die shrink as well on the newer 360 mobos as well as restructured the mobo.

played it, beat it, dissapointed
why
the game itself is pretty good, so is the multiplayer, but the ending of the campaign was somewhat of a letdown to me.

yep, on the 250GB model the GPU/CPU are on the same die.

Really? Im playing through it again and enjoying it even more teh 2nd time around...strange that :confused:

I thought the final part was a great idea. You know whats going to happen, but you try to hold out as long as possible...quite a fitting end I thought.

That is one thing that i have complained about before. I think Microsoft should of took more time out and focused more on the design of the system and did some thorough testing. Instead they rushed the system just so they could be first out on the market, and it really hurt them in the end. I'm glad it got fixed, but i just hope they have learned from that mistake.

And all companies think of us gamers as cash cows, they all just find different ways of getting the milk out of us.(lol)

The thing what gets me is the first xbox console microsoft made work,t 100%
and that was there key two cashing in on the console market for the first time.
its like with the 360 they forgot this lol
i can never forgive microsoft for this so called crap 360 rrod
I surpose with all this new hi-tec hardware in the gameing markets out for p.c.s
Microsofts move was two bump its xbox up some what only down side is
stuffing all this new fast hardware in two a small xbox 360 case courses over heating
i pulled my 360 apart when was hit by the rrod and i was shocked by the fact
that only two fans where at the back ov the 360 two cool it and no fans on any
the heat sinks
