Most people get the ring of death while playing games like bioshock, halo 3, and gta 4. My cousins 360 was also messed up when he started playing bioshock. I think some of the game discs have some sort of virus that causes the system to mess up. My xbox 360 also messed up while playing Bioshock.

Why do I get the sneaky suspicion that everyone that works there has probably called in sick today!?! Or perhaps they declared it a holiday and every one of them, accept 79-year-old Smitty, is holding down the fort, signing all the incoming broken XBOXs, and throwing them into the to-do bin. By the time they start repair on my XBOX 360 it will be December 2009 (just in time to hear about the news for Halo 4 on the XBOX 1080).<br /> I bet if I call their support line on confirmation, Max’s voice (automated XBOX support person) will come on and say something like, “Hi, this is Max! We are all playing Halo 3 now, so go F yourself.”<br /> My XBOX 360 picked a great time to die on me…</p> :game: According to UPS, my XBOX 360 has reached the repair center in Texas today (Tuesday, the release day of Halo 3).

Sigh. I really WANT to love Microsoft, since they are a "local" company and all. But right now I find myself failing miserably.</p> I wonder if anyone is having problems with the Elites? Sigh.

It's very weird. One or two people this happening to is strange, three or more is a problem.</p> <p>Good to see you dude. :smile:</p> I’m thinking that Bioshock is so ground-breaking that it’s taxing the system.

Well, here is my story I wrote to my friends a couple of days ago:

“XBOX 360s seem to be physically built like Bill Gates himself.

At 8:34pm on September 13th, 2007 my X-BOX 360 suffered essentially a
heart attack while playing Bioshock. It just went blank and powered off. And you can imagine my response; like I just came out of a coma asking, “What the hell happened?” It was enough of a shock internally that I couldn’t help but make a slight twitch while starring confused at my TV.

I powered it back on, thinking it had a hick up or something. It powered back on, but nothing came up, only the dreaded ring of red flashing death from his power button.

My XBOX 360 did show symptoms of ailment prior to its death. Instead of sending him away for repair, he wanted to spend his remaining time playing Bioshock and Gears of War before his final destination into the unknown.

My only regret is that he never got to experience Halo 3.

Rest in peace, my friend, you will be missed.”

My XBOX 360 is also being returned. Max was the only person that spoke clear english when I called customer support. It took quite awhile to get my order processed. Then I called back a few days later to get my confirmation number again and status; the rep spoke better english that time around.

What I am trying to do now is get my buddy to buy my repaired 360 when it comes back while I buy an Elite now (I have Halo 3 reserved).

It’s funny that both of our 360s died while playing Bioshock. I wonder, is there is a connection?
