OPPNYC1 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I played Halo 3 last night for 2 hours straight, had a towel wrapped around the whole back of the xbox. I only got 2 red rings about 3 times, yet no 3 red rings. I really want this RROD so I can return my xbox before my warranty goes up. Any tips on forcing the RROD? It's funny how I'm the one who wants it and I haven't gotten it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPPNYC1 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Simple. If it's going to happen after my 1 year warranty I'm going to kill someone. Also, I really want the two new games in the Platinum package. Forza 2 and MUA. I will get these when I get a new bundle when I return my old one. In store warranty, not Microsoft.

Sanction Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 You could always return it and say you got the RROD and they'd accept it back. They don't check them right at the desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just do that. And if they dont take it back, your at the same place where you started. Then just keep going for the red rings of death, and take it back to another store.

Vista Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Most stores dont take back the consoles with RRoD if you want RRoD though wrap your box in tin foil, leave it by a furnace, turn it on and wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a warranty at gamestop then good luck actually. I hate that place so damn much. I have so many bad expierences with that place. All within the last half of year.

RFT 123 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Even though you'd get a new one if you get RROD, don't try and get it. Personally, I'd keep a working one instead of getting someone elses refurbed console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxtHeREDpiLLxX Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Maybe you could sit it on the carpet, and let it overheat a few times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUplinked Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yeah I'm going with a oven here . I suppose if you want a more "authentic" effect then you could just leave it on for several days, wrapped in something black and shinny....Or just remove the fan [Alex] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razzleson Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Reason for wanting? Its a bad thing im sure you know though Read post #10, he's trying to get it to RR so he can take it back to the store of purchase and trade it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha305 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Be careful what you wish for. You may end up getting it right fater your warranty expires. Why do you want to return it anyway. Is it for the HDMi model or you just want a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalRope Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Read post #10, he's trying to get it to RR so he can take it back to the store of purchase and trade it.

DrH3rbz Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Returning something like that I think they would at least test it to see if it doesn't work before accepting it wouldn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFILL450 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 well just drop your 360 4' from the ground that will do it.... Then they wouldnt take it back because it would be your fault that it broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webb Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Gonna lock this because it's the most ridiculous shit I've ever heard. Your trying to force the RRoD? Listen to yourself, not only is it highly illegal, but you want to discuss it on a public forum Seriously kids... This is not the way forward!!!
