This video has many goosebumps moments for me. And while I watch it, I know why I love Xbox.

Yes the console with the highest failure rate of all time - so inspirational. Thank you Microsoft!

[@Drakeziel]

I got red ring on my first 360, had to repair myself. Ended up repairing and reselling them to friends. I do still genuinely miss the original Xbox controller!

[@cyrollan]

How did you repair them?

[@Drakeziel]

@@cyrollan Replacing thermal paste, dusting the whole system and using multiple plastic washers on the retaining clip (X) for the heatsink mount.

Ive had mine for 12 years. Still works well. Had the red ring once and lost all my data which was annoying but i vaccumed all the dust inside and it was fine.

[@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

[@bonebreaker9103]

I love the Xbox platform to what it has shaped. The amount of friendship it has for me, to be able to connect between people and through the pandemic get me through it. Thank you Xbox

[@Dansambroplayz]

Well said 👏👏

We couldn't be mad at you guys for long, you handled it all very well and took the hit. I believe it was just an honest mistake 👍🏻

[@sean70729]

This whole documentary was top notch and entertaining.

[@cheeks3211]

Except episode 6 where they literally sugar coat xbox one era and spend 20 minutes before mentioning Gamepass and $70 games. Which to me indicates why this series was even put out.

[@garrettprosser7336]

I remember distinctly the time my wife and I took our systems (her 360 and my PS3) and set up TVs side by side to compare instances of Oblivion for graphics, framerate, and overall feel. Xbox 360 won, and we never looked back.

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.

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.

[@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 💚

[@XFSAngelOfDeath]

I dealt with red ring about 4 or 5 times. But ive stuck with xbox through it and I still play xbox to this day 🤘

[@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.
