Ripten Xbox 360 Review: System Error - E 74

Ripten writes: "After moving house just a few short days ago, and with no internet to speak of, I was settling down to a nice relaxing week away from the daily buzz of the net to get some quality time with Beijing 2008, which Sega kindly sent me to review. However, it appears Microsoft had other plans. Read on for my full review of System Error - E 74.

Unlike the highly popular and successful Red Ring of Death or its sequel, Disc Read Error, System Error – E 74 (SEE74) is a surprisingly hard title to get hold of. To get yourself a copy, you need to have an older model Xbox 360 (1 or 2 weeks old should do) as well as a game you want to play. In my case, my review copy of Beijing 2008 and my Xbox Premium."

First RROD, then disc read error, now this? What a sh1t console.

dachiefsman6172d ago

i would venture to say that a 8 bit nintendo or 16 bit genesis are sh|t consoles but hey what do i know.

I will say this I am on my 3rd 360 and 3rd Ps2. Haven't had the PS3 long enough for it to fail but I am sure it will.

juuken6172d ago

Is that right dachiefsman? How is it that I reconsidered getting a 360 just this minute? I bought my PS3 August of last year. It still runs very well, and I use it for all of my PS2/PS3 games. I was going to get a 360 for Ninja Gaiden 2 and a few rpg's but I changed my mind. Now, I'm actually getting a Nintendo Wii for No More Heroes and a few other games as well.

The 360 is a piece of sh*t. I'm glad I changed my mind, otherwise I would have been cussing at customer service.

Now I feel much better.

Sir_Ken_Kutaragi6172d ago

If people treat their consoles with respect then they won't break down i think???(well apart from xBox 360's!!!) ;-D None of mine have???(PS1+PS2+PS3) Over 10 years of playing PlayStation to. Remember that F00L who was shaking his PS3 about on youTube or somewhere??? Er just treat it right and it will last!!!;)

dachiefsman6172d ago

talking about my arse really? Why would I make something up? How would that value me seriously. I don't care if you think the 360 is a piece of sh*t.

The fact is things break and it wasn't a user error with my PS2.

Can someone explain the video below? I am sure this individual screwed up his 400+ dollar machinery on purpose.

dachiefsman6172d ago

well i never had an issue with MS customer support neither have my friends. Maybe you should have hung up and called back.

I was on and off the phone within 10 minutes of talking to someone. Got a different box within 2 weeks.

Xlll6172d ago

@dachiefsman - Sad thing is my Nintendo and SNES still work to this day. Unlike that pile of melting plastic you call a "360".

dachiefsman6172d ago

melting..mine is working. It is not like you own one so why do you care.

KBDuB6172d ago

So.. You got your PS3 in August of last year, you say? And, it still runs great, eh? Cool. That's nice. I heard your update is working well, too? I'm glad to hear that.

But, you decided against owning a 360? That's too bad. You see, I've had my 360 since launch, yes, it's true. And, what do you know.. it still runs, yes, it's true. Fancy that, eh?

Well, it's a bummer that you won't be able to enjoy the great games coming out on ALL three(3) platforms, what a drag, darn.

t-0_ot-6172d ago (Edited 6172d ago )

How's your PS2? You only have one PS2, as well? Did you go through more than one PS2? I sure as hell did...

Bzone246172d ago

Don't let her fool you, junken was never going to get a 360. She just wanted justification for trolling all the Xbox topics.

Xlll6172d ago

@To_oT - Launch PS2 still kicking. As for my 2.40 update working just fine for me. So hows that GTA patch coming?

Mr Fancy Pants6171d ago

why people are trying to make the PS2 looks as like the defective percentage it's as high as the X360 it's beyond me... the true is that the X360 it's the console with most problems on the market ever but xbots keep supporting it because fanboyims blinds them.

remember the PS3 and all the hate of the media in the launch of the console? what was the cause of all that hate? the X360 it's the most unreliable console ever and no one cares...

dachiefsman6171d ago

@ Mr Fancy Pants
I didn't make a comparison. I was talking of personal experience.

AuToFiRE6171d ago

yes, the ps3 update is working fine, in fact more consoles on the 360 fail with updates than the PS3. also, dont forget what the article is.. not a place to mention a ps3 failure when it fails less than 0.5% total, compared to the 360s almost 40% failure rate TO THIS DAY

Oooh what's the matter. People like you and pog, that would be you and you, want to approve forum posts about issues on the PS3 but this is an article. Don't like the content? I thought you were supposed to be tough. I guess not.

The gaming GOD6172d ago

People call each other out here EVERYDAY. Nothing to whine about.

I mean be real, is some anonymous person that knows nothing about you calling you out something to stress over?

Anyway, I have a 360 but I never saw that error. But I don't play it as much as the ps3 so I can't say for sure whether that error is real or not

master pain6172d ago

you report him off topic when the 1st comment youve made was off topic itself?

haha

reported as off topic >:(

master pain6172d ago

"look for my comments that are actually on topic"

Xf****nD

"Okay Sony, we get it
fix your problems first...then blame others"

lol
how is that on topic? where in this article he wrote about sony?

GiantEnemyCrab6172d ago

Lol that was a light-hearted way to write a story about your console dying.

Moral of the story: Take care of your system better. Is it coincidence you were just "moving house"?

crck6172d ago (Edited 6172d ago )

But not as funny as Tor the host on the Gamespot podcast. He got 2 red-rings in 48 hours. His personal one red-ringed then he borrow a 360 from the Gamespot offices and that one red-ringed as well. Nov. 27th 2k8 will be the beginning of fun times. That's when the 3 year RROD warranties starts to expire on 360s.

morganfell6172d ago

I forgot about that. I am on my fourth - a new Halo edition - well it was new last year when it launched. I have had 3 lockups but no RROD...yet.

This New Wild Hunt Release is Hopefully a Sign of What's to Come With Witcher 4

The Witcher 3 released a special item for its 10th anniversary, and it's hopefully a sneak peek at The Witcher 4's launch plans.

The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.

darthv721d 11h ago

I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.

Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.

FullmetalRoyale1d 9h ago

That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.

CrimsonWing691d 4h ago

Thanks for saving me a click! Doing the Lord’s work.

Didn't want to go that hard, but kinda felt a little baity to me.

Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.

Peter Molyneux recalls how Project Milo, the Kinect game with revolutionary promise, died a death

Vapourware can end up being the stuff of legend, like Rockstar's Agent, Star Wars 1313, or StarCraft: Ghost. Without ever seeing the light of day, these games never risked the possibility of being played and forgotten, and instead live on forever as the subjects of lengthy YouTube essays.

Still, Molyneux's most notable lost game (or tech demo, depending on who you asked at the time) was arguably Project Milo.

I can see the potential of the kinect hardware... its rather impressive tech, but it was just not meant to be for gaming. If anything, MS had a huge missed opportunity to have used it for the AR/VR projects.

S2Killinit3d ago

Missed opportunity? They lied. It was the biggest lie in gaming history.

merlox3d ago

You can use the Kinect as an SLS camera for paranormal investigations. So it wasn’t a complete failure.

It was built on lies Peter...you know this.

isarai4d ago

Bro that thing NEVER existed, what we got was a concept video

Knushwood Butt4d ago

"Unfortunately, as we were developing Milo, so the Kinect device was being developed. And they realised that the device that Alex Kipman first showed off would cost $5,000 for consumers to buy.

"So they cost-reduced that device down to such a point, where the field-of-view...I think it was a minuscule field-of-view. In other words, it could only just see what's straight in front of you."

Hmm, exactly what tech was in it, that was cut, affected the development? It was only ever interpreting visual and audio inputs right? The xbox was processing those inputs.

Nor do I see how the field of view thing is relevant to the discussion.

isarai4d ago

Exactly! Tf kinda BS statement was that? i don't really see how fov is relevant at all, since when do you move all around a room while talking/interacting to someone?

Amplitude3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

This is entirely untrue. There was never a 5000 dollar Kinect prototype that could somehow use a wider field of view to scan and import generated in-game items and advance AI by over a decade. Anybody that fell for this was a stupid moron child, myself included. Anybody that falls for this lie now is a stupid moron child who doesn't realize that these people *only* know how to lie.
