RROD Club
I am finally a member of the RROD club! I've had my 360 since around the time they first came out. Bought it for super cheap from the back of a truck so I'm impressed it only RROD'd now. Good news is: I never played it and was looking to mod it anyways and I also found out like a couple hours ago that a good friend of my brothers buys broken 360's and then fixes and mods them and will help me with that. In any case it's the end of an era. An era in which my 360 was on for 2 days straight during a guitar hero party. An era in which I exchanged GH2 for another copy because some jerk knocked the system over while the disc was in the system, and when I returned it I played dumb like I don't know how discs work or why it would've 'just stopped working.' And an era where almost all the games I bought were more frustrating than fun (Sega Revo Rally, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Eternal Darkness.) Also the end of an era where I think to myself everyday I should have held out for a ps3, cause my 360's getting modded and will play every game ever! :3
Good luck with your new special 360. Not only will you be able to play every game ever, but usually around a week before it's released. :P
So I've almost got everything up and running but in typical gogo fashion there is a problem. I'm hoping and praying that it is a problem that can be resolved without spending much more money..... and more over in a typical gogo fashion I got pretty lucky and I didn't know that there were certain DVD-R's you can use and ones you can't and I happen to pick a brand that works. (The only Dual Layered Walmart had, and bought her dvds at walmart because not much else is open at 10:30 at night.)
I've haven't had any problems with Memorex DVD+R DL. I cannot remember if I got them at Walmart or Newegg.
