I still don’t know how Microsoft didn’t get sued into… Oblivion for releasing hardware with such a high failure rate.

Xbox? You still using your Zune and working on finishing up watching “Lost”?

Playing the game on console of that era = fade into Bolivian

Is this what happens when your RTX4k/RTX5k catches fire?

I remember my 1st year in college, I was playing Oblivion on my roommate’s Xbox and it red ringed

I had to deal with three red rings growing up, two from Oblivion and one from Fallout 3. I like to joke that Bethesda owes me a few 360s still.

don’t forget to bring a towel!

I never finished Oblivion. I ran conjured weapons and gear, and it crashed my Xbox constantly.

Oblivion and the Red Ring Of Death is what got me into PC gaming! I bought an xbox360 to play Oblivion and it conked out after 2 measly weeks. I didn’t want to take a chance on another xbox, so I spent all my savings on a gaming PC. Good times

i think i had at least 3 of these fail on me, and none of them would stay on for longer than an hour before overheating. i loved that system but it was such a piece of shit lmao

I got this right after beating Mass Effect for the first time.

I remember walking into Bravil and the guard turns to me, “STOP LAWB-” and the sound stopped, then it zoomed WAY in on his face, the screen went black and the red ring appeared. Unplugged it from everything, cranked the AC to permafrost and shut the door for 3 hours. Worked fine when I came back, but I was SO SCARED LMAO

Put some cocktail sticks in the fan, to block it. Works just as well as the towel.

Somehow, I have this weird image in my head now of Flat Earth being proven right, but onky because a giant Xbos Red Ring of Death appears in the sky.

It actually was Oblivion that red ringed my brother’s 360 back in the day. We did that trick where we wrapped the unit up in blankets (to overheat it? I dunno) and it actually worked for a little while.

That image alone had reignited my utter hatred of anything Xbox related …

I was so lucky, the oven trick fixed mine.

I remember those days. If I remember correctly the most common Xbox 360 problems were either motherboard issues, overheating issues or disk tray issues where the optics would stop working or the tray would get stuck. I only really got an Xbox 360 so I can play Halo 3 & Ace Combat 6 since they were only on that console at the time.

X Box 360 was the last console I owned.
I remember at the end of its life, I did the towel trick, where you wrap it in a towel and turn it on for a while to get it really hot, then you turn it off then back on and it will work.
I was playing MW2 at the time, and I’d do it every day when I’d get home from work and leave it on for hours.
