Moral of the story: never ever buy launch models

[@essence7779]

Everybody should know that. At least the real gamers ..

[@BlackMountainCycles]

It happened to non launch models as well, just not as frequently.

[@shezanjimenez]

The Xbox 360 era was the best era for gaming, period. Even with the RROD.

[@retiredtidepodeater3339]

Definitely not. You must be have been born in the late 90's 😂. Hands down the BEST era in gaming was the early 90's... Video game rental spots... Video game arcades.. It was the REAL golden age of gaming. Beyond magical. It's not even debatable.

Exactly

[@Hypedhitman]

Kudos for owning up to this. You guys learned and moved on. Thank you.

[@Johnny-up3yh]

Major kudos to Microsoft for their transparency throughout this great documentary.

[@youravggamer]

It's so nice that they don't just sweep it under the rug but instead document it. Good job, Xbox and everyone associated.

[@DBLoCkTV]

Even tho i had all the Xbox’s. Gears of war sold me on Xbox as my gaming console 15 years ago and I’ve never looked back since. Gears will forever be apart of my gaming rotation.

[@bbeal2325]

They handled this well, I remember having the red ring I was so bummed

[@gripopiMEX]

Yo fui parte de esa historia con el "Anillo rojo de la muerte". Excelente servicio con UPS y la sustitución de mi consola por una nueva. Gracias por pensar en el usuario.

Respect to Steve Ballmer for just saying "Just do it" when there was a 1.5 billion worth problem made...

[@shmookins]

I was looking for how they fixed it, exactly. Sadly, in this documentary they just said "we fixed it" then moved on. The search continues.

[@maybemaybenot8112]

My older brother still has his original launch console and it still works to this day. I got the red ring one time while playing GTA4.

[@flipflip5felipe]

I'm glad I made the decision to wait on an Xbox 360 purchase. Got the Elite model and never had the Red Ring issue, so I was one of the few to just never experience it.

[@aaallleeexx22]

elite model had the rrod too

[@Debiginger]

@@aaallleeexx22 Yeah, some Elites struggled with the RROD. The only fat model 360s that didn't struggle with it are the ones with the Jasper motherboard, which some Elite models have.

[@flipflip5felipe]

I never ran into the RROD and that was after long gaming sessions and nights of forgetting to turn off the console

It’s a shame Kinect Failed. I’m glad the technology was able to be used to help progress other fields

[@kiwikiwi2483]

I still have my connect. The carnival game, that one sports game I forgot the name of and the Disneyland game were all great memories of my Xbox days.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I really liked the 360 and xbox one kinect for voice commands

[@nitrolysis]

The kinect was probably some of my favourite moments on the xbox. I still have mine and played Kinect Sports Season 2 on it yesterday.

Fruit ninja lol

[@mobilizedorb438]

Ah this makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I've had every single Xbox except the new series x and s. I've had my Xbox live account for over 10 years now and plan to have it for decades more 💚

[@realJonk]

Had multiple consoles red ring, but they could not have possibly handled the situation with more class and respect. Those were some of the best years of my entire life, thank you Microsoft for the Xbox 360, may she rest easy.

RROD on my original 360. Mind you - had the YLOD on my original Phat PS3 too! Thankfully replacements were fine and both still running (used occasionally too!)
