Red ring sighted on Halo 3 limited Xbox 360 consoles |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: GPU, Microsoft, Ring of Death
Ó
It didn't take very long for first reports of the infamous Halo Red Ring of Death (RRoD) to infect the newly released Halo 3 limited edition Xbox 360 consoles. Despite Microsoft's assurances that the new 65nm CPU/GPU (the Falcon chipset) would reduce cases of the RRoD, the image above shows evidence contrary to this statement.
The main problem was said to lie in the overheating of the GPU. There were also speculations that not all of the limited edition consoles had the supposed Falcon chipset. Either way, this does nothing to change the fact that Microsoft's console is still plagued with a host of hardware problems.
This was hardly the first time that reports of the RRoD has spoiled gamers' experience with this next gen console. Hopefully, Microsoft will be able to provide a truly permanent solution to their console's limitations.

BTW QJ, regarding this:
"Despite Microsoft's assurances that the new 65nm CPU/GPU (the Falcon chipset) would reduce cases of the RRoD, the image above shows evidence contrary to this statement."
I usually don't like to stick up for MS, because I usually don't like what they do or the way they do it, but this is just downright stupidity. "Reduce" does not equal "eliminate", so I fail to see how one pic of one defective 360 even hints that the defect rate has not been reduced despite MS's claims.

So Microsoft extended the warranty because? EXACTLY, YOU LOSE!

But because Joe Schmoe in East Jebip has a RROD doesn't mean that the new ones are faulty.

if that's the case then this console DOES NOT have the falcon CPU.
Falcon CPU's are only present on consoles manufactured on or after 2007 - 8 - 24.
Congratulations to the guy that got the RROD this console. You've just proved that the fancy case doesn't disguise this being any old premium console inside.
