My xbox is only one year old and now its already shot.. I appologize to the people that I promised an economy server too. Im not going to be playing the 360 edition till it gets fixed so im pretty dissapointed now. Looks like im going to be buying the PC version sooner than I thought
Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.
Im not really sure to be honest... Im not sure this is even possible, but I think it somehow got a virus? Who knows. I gotta have it checked out
I'm not too sure if it is either, previously it wouldn't be. But, with the recent addition of the Internet Explorer app, who knows. I have never used it, so I don't even know if it allows you to store cookies or not.
On a side note, this topic is a bit random. Seems more like something a person would post on Facebook.

Check it out for awesome tutorials and constant content!
My xbox 360 is the first model they ever made and it's still working like a WWII veteran.
I guess mine is just lucky.
Mine's the same way the older ones seem built to last. Back to the point does it have red ring or does it cut on, but your television won't show the image, or maybe its off balance.

You can't download anything from Internet Explorer, so I highly doubt it's a virus. You have to be more descriptive about the problem though...Does it not turn on? Does it have the Red Ring?

This one time mine had a red ring. I rebooted it and it worked again. To be honest, I dunno.
Well to answer most of your questions:
1. No it does not have the red ring of death or red dot of death.
2. Its the new model. got it in 2011
3. I dont have the internet explorer app
4. Its extremely slow and doesnt load games
5. It says im not connected to xbox live even when I can be in a party and see my friends list
6. I got a message from xbox live saying that I should put two "profile proofs" on my account
7. Freezes randomly
Anyways thats all i got for now

I highly doubt it was the very first model. The 360 they originally released, codename Xenon, had a low-grade heatsink on the GPU. This combined with the insanely high power consumption and mediocre fans caused people to have video cards overheating as early as a week after release date. This mainly happened to the "hardcore" gamers, but it was still a terribly bugged console that wasn't thought out very well. I had this model, and it only lasted a year before RRoD.
They fixed this in 2007 (almost two years later) by releasing a new model, codename Zephyr, which had an improved heatsink. The only physical difference (by this, I mean what you can see without opening the case) from the first design was an added HDMI port. It was still a crappy version of the 360, but the GPU wouldn't have a meltdown as quickly/easily. It wasn't until later models they started revising CPUs, GPUs, motherboards, and the PSUs to lower power consumption.

Not true, the newer models are far more optimized. It's not like they just change things around to make a worse console. The original Xbox however, and consoles before this, did last much longer. That's only because they weren't as powerful, generally less power consumption = more stability. The more serious console issues are typically due to overheating.

By older I meant around 2008(still white) misread his other post, but what your saying makes sense.

Probably a hardware failure/ overheating issue. Do you keep it in an enclosed or unventilated area? If you still have a warranty send it into MS. Otherwise probably have a local shop look at it.

I've had an original Xbox 360 since 2007, and it still works, but I've had to send it in for the red rings of death twice. It's slowly falling apart though, like having trouble reading the discs and openning the tray. Oh well...

umm, there are so many things wrong with this. Everyone I know who had an older xbox has had some issue with red rings. One of my friends bought the xbox when it first came out and it red ringed in 3 months.

So your small sample size of xbox friends makes this guys comment wrong? I know a lot of people who had/have older xbox's and they never had an issue with red rings.

I referenced friends that I know of had the problem. I was saying that his statement of "older xboxes are built to last" was wrong, which would mean that older xboxes compared to newer xboxes are better built, and last longer, which is just wrong. A company would not make changes to their system to counter a widespread problem to then make newer xboxes last less time than the older ones.
Also, I have never heard of a problem with the new xboxes. I got a slim last year and it's been running perfectly. My older xbox lasted less than a year before it red ring'd for the first time. key words, first time.
