Microsoft finally addresses Red Ring of Death with Jasper-based Xbox 360 consoles

From the source: The long-awaited Jasper-based versions of the Xbox 360 have finally emerged on the market. These new consoles have a redesigned motherboard with the new 65-nanometer version of the ATI (now AMD) graphics chip that doesn't run as hot as previous versions. There are other changes that improve the reliability and usability of the system as well.

RROD was dead from Falcon mainboard, but i wil sell my falcon xbox 360 and get a new jasper, you'll never know

strotee5686d ago

I'm beginning to think that's why certain games are selling equally or better on the PS3 - a fair amount of current 360 owners buy 2-3 consoles due to thinking "but the newer models are better". Obviously there's no way to prove it but I just have a feeling of the 23-24 million 360's, there are 3-5 million purchased out of spite or frustration of repeated RROD's. Watch as the software attach rate moves slower than the hardware sales; this will further prove this theory floating around in the console debates.

Zee5686d ago

@strotee

I am a end user who traded-in and purchased a second 360 due to reliability issues. I'm a multi-platform owner and wanted to continue to be able to play 360 exclusives. Due to the reliability issues I lean towards purchasing multi-plats on the PS3 unless I read of serious differences. Minor differences do not bug me.

It is very frustrating that I had to purchase twice, but I am a gamer and enjoy playing the 360 along with my other consoles.

Cheers mate.

Game on no matter what machine you have... Fairchild, Vic20, NES, Game Gear to 360/PS3 it really is about the enjoyment gaming brings us no matter the platform.

cmrbe5686d ago

and then you say you never know?.

Even with the falcon there were still alot of PROD reports. I am sure the Jasper will see an improvement but it will never be dealt with unless the x360 sees a complete redesign.

sirbigam5686d ago

This is all they had to bloody do, Looks like it's safe to geta 360 now.

Dino5686d ago

I know right! I've wanted a 360 and now I feel like I can get one without fear of breakdown. Even more games to choose from.

pixelsword5686d ago

Japan would respectfully disagree.

Kaneda5686d ago

you guys still believe the company denied there was no RROD...

SonyOwnsNextYear5686d ago (Edited 5686d ago )

lol. i thought they said they fixed it in 2006?

rrod will never go away.

expect rrod repairs to be added in as sales. well know the truth about this when ms finally drops support for the 360......which should be within 1.5 years.

If im lying im dying.

gaffyh5685d ago

You know what...I don't believe them at all. There'll probably be a RROD report on the first batches of Jaspers as well.

I hope they do get it fixed, and send everyone with a current 360 a Jasper one instead.

boodybandit5685d ago (Edited 5685d ago )

The Falcon did not eliminate RROD.
All you have to do is check my history and see that a couple months back my Elite with a Falcon motherboard RROD'd on me. All the Falcon did was decrease the chances of RROD and not eliminate them. Hopefully the Jasper will eliminate the issue completely but only time will tell.

I am going to have to get a 360 now, it's just too tempting with all the amazing deals being thrown around!

SonySoldierEternaL5686d ago

same

the 1st one was fun

The Matrix5686d ago

Are you kidding? I just bought a 360 TODAY!

Well if I have any trouble with it I'll call MS and hopefully they'll send me a jasper.

Perjoss5686d ago

@ 2.2
its np, if you bought it today you have 3 years warranty starting from today. And if you ever have to send it for repairs theres a good chance you will get one of the new chipset consoles back instead of your own.

Danja5686d ago

we'll see...how true this is in time.....but it's about time..M$ did something about the RROD...

GWAVE5686d ago

I thought they "dealt" with the issue with the Falcon boards.....look how that turned out.

I'm still waiting for them to "deal" with disc scratching, total hardware failures, AV cable failures, power brick failures, etc.

Sucker Punch rejuvenated the superhero genre with Infamous, a series that focused on the pure fun of wielding destructive powers.

Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy

isarai12h ago

Omfg i would go apesh!t for that 😩

jznrpg1d 2h ago

I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.

mkis0071d 1h ago

It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.

Demetrius17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around

Why Far Cry 3 Was The Best Of The Franchise?

Far Cry 3, an open-world masterpiece that redefined the series. Gameplay and storyline makes it a timeless classic that still inspires today.

Deeeeznuuuts3d ago

It's gotta be Far Cry 2 for me, the feeling of that game I'm still yet to find again, just everything about it, I'd kill for a remaster, I'd even be happy with just a bump in resolution and frame rate, occasionally go back to it, think I'm gunna have to do just that now 😂

porkChop3d ago

A remaster of Far Cry 2 would be amazing, especially with the mods that fixed the broken stealth system and the dumb checkpoint respawns. Include those fixes and it would be a huge upgrade over the original.

JEECE3d ago

Enemies respawn in Far Cry 2? Terrible! It's a broken system! Make me a one-man army who can inexplicably hold an entire region!

Enemies respawn in Dark Souls and Zelda? Brilliant! So much more hardcore! Glad the devs took risks!

porkChop3d ago

The problem isn't them respawning. It's that they respawned after just 5 minutes. Like you'd still be in the area looking for diamonds, loot, exploring, etc, and the enemies would just respawn with you there.

Red Dead Redemption 1 Isn't As Good As People Remember It To Be

RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.

Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles

just_looken4d ago

I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.

red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.

I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny

Cacabunga3d ago

RDR1 is a legendary game!!!

Really how to cope with a slow news day…

just_looken3d ago

@caca

I know i said that

Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is

Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..

The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.

You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic

“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”

Oh and thanks for the laugh ..

jznrpg3d ago

They didn’t name it Red Dead Revolver 2. They named it Red Dead Redemption

neutralgamer19923d ago

Looken

It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated

On topic:

If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)

jeromeface3d ago

is also so damn funny how no one agrees with you

Junk article. Game was dope and still is. The swimming part sucks though.

just_looken4d ago

It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.

just_looken3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...

after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption

But you all will hate this because facts are scary

"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.

From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm

https://www.engadget.com/20...

The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in

Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.

jambola3d ago

Nobody asked about or mentioned revolver
Why are you bringing it up in every reply?

shinoff21833d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Just looken

I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates

Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af

-Foxtrot4d ago

I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
