    • @TheCo221345 because we has shitty games and is made for 5 year old kids.

    • @jakdfrost its just stupid people who are looking for other things to blame other than the fact that they treat their 360′s badly. its not MW2 that does it.

    • stupid microsoft has billions of dollars and they are too cheap to put in an extra fan

    • just buy a ps3 lmao

    • uhm, why dont you check your facts before calling someone a stupid fuck, you stupid fuck. And the red ring of death means its overheated, when only 3 lights are lite up it means that it is a technical problem, you stupid fuck. And by the way, its spelled STUPID not stuped, you STUPID FUCK!

    • The towel trick is going to obviously not work according to the tempearture it is currently at. Making it warmer will just screw everything up because it makes it even warmer. I suggest you put a fan near it and leave it for at least 10 minutes.

    • 1:35 – HAAAAAAAAAAAAALLELUJAH.

    • That is what they say but the console fails because the fan cuts out because the console overheats and when the fan cuts out you will not notice and the overheating will get so bad it will melt the hardware and if you try to turn it on it will refuse to turn on and show you because I had the two rings of death and after waiting for a day or say no tricks on it or nothing I could turn it back on

    • No no. The 3 rings means it’s a hardware failure, the 2 rings means it over heated.

      *boohoo* its soooooo sad how these systems die. i can relate, because my ps3 and xbox 360 died too. it was a tragic moment for me and my famly but its something we all deal with. i miss pearl, my 360′s name., and ill see it in heaven. I ♥ you pearl bbaby(;

    • Sometimes, only sometimes, the PS3 get something called The Green Screen Of Death (You can probably guess what it does)
      I know its horrible to write to here or even read but its true D=

    • and called not calld you stupid fuck

    • its called stupid not stuped you stupid fuck lol

    • coolaidkiller101

      just put some 4500rpm fans in it when brand new or water cool it

    • I used the Towel trick to fix my mates xbox it worked for about 2 days … then it had to be taken apart.

      I got some Thermal paste from a pc shop £5.99 ….

      I removed the heat sinks and put fresh thermal paste on them then put it all back together… It then had the red ring of death first time switching on as it was sealing through heat :)

      second time turned on it work perfectly!

      Cost £5.99 and some spare time :D

    • its calld the red ring of death you stuped fuck

    • The towel trick makes it worse because the console dies or gets the RROD is due to overheating wrapping in a bunch of towels is in no way ever going to help it so you might as well send it to Microsoft unless your three year warranty has run out which then means your basically fucked but you should get a PS3 even though the XBOX is a good console and has good games but PS3 have their share of good games too but It don’t really matter about which console to me it matters about reliable hardware.

    • @LaughingMonkeyBomb i was going to but then i thought about gears of war 2 u know like i play that game evryday and also halo then again gta and that so i ddnt get it man im not trying to sart a fight but 360 has better games and more even thought it has the shity red ring of death

    • TheRedPanicButton

    • itinkgirlzhot12

    • LaughingMonkeyBomb

      Hi, Insted of buying 4 different xbox’s that clearly do not work… you could have just got a Sony Playstation 3 System! xD

      lolz…

    • you should have let it cooled

    • when i did the trick mine worked for 2 games of cod mw2 then i turned it off and come back down to turn it on, i got the rrod again, not to mention that when i had it working it had weird lights running down it. Thanks microsoft.

    • @stepxunit because xbox sucks and ps3 is better….. but do not worry I ams still loyal to xbox. never owned a playstation in my life!!!!

    • dolinovodno2500

      Listen here!!! For everyone who thinks it doesnt work… it does!! I used 3 towels and overheat for 13min and let it cooled for 8min..

      It is dangerous and there is a possiblity it will NOT work for SOME.. it worked on mine… and it is not FAKE!
