I just ran an update and got RROD – Called MS and escalated, no luck. I will be filing a class action lawsuit. I should have known better than to run the update

I have XBOX-360 and it was going well for more than one year. I bought a game that offered me to update the console. After the update, the machine worked for 2 months and one fine morning, it displayed RROD. At present the machine is still in the same status. Can any one be so kind to guide me what to do please. I live in Pakistan.

So upset right now. I want to freaking throw my xbox under a steamroller. Updated the console, and then BAAM! RROD. After 1+ year of it working PERFECTLY. Microsoft, you suck. But, what does it care…not much if you ask me.

My xbox busted after the update too…Its a few years old and I never had a problem before now..

I was playing Red Alert 3 online, a match video got lines through it, but it went away after the match, so I played a second one and it happened again…So I try to reboot and I get E 74.

There are 38,000 hits if you google xbox E 74 error now, I bet that skyrockets.

Got me too. 14 month old Falcon console, NO PROBLEMS EVER. Mandatory update, BAM! Kept freezing on reboot, until RRoD on reboot. TOTAL BS!

Why should Microsoft care? everyone seems to buy a new one anyway, I work in a game shop and know one customer who is on his eleventh system. Personally I’m on my third and last system. If this one breaks it’s time to trade it in.

Microsoft keep going on about how many systems the have sold but I wouldn’t be surprised if a third of them are replacements for dead systems.

If you look in the xbox.com forums you will see that this is not a coincidence but a true fact that Microsoft is trying to hide, the update IS causing multiple consoles to RRoD! MS should take responsibility for the bricked consoles since it is not the customer’s fault that a mandatory update wrecked up their Xbox.
