Because most Xbox 360's have a problem where they just fck up due to heat or other hardware failures, when this happens you get the red lights when you turn it on, now this particular console in the pic is an Elite version which is meant be have no issues at all

Dont have a 360 myself i just know all this from reading the threads on here

I agree entirely. Pointless post to be honest, seeing as 3/4 of the fuckers on here have no idea what it's about and even after being told there's a red light somewhere.

Wrong forum GTi iTG - try a teccie one where they'll have a fucking clue what you're on about.

And besides - who gives a fuck anyway ?

i wanna know WHY a company go tothe effort of fitting a red light to tell you the things fucked,,,,,,, would you not already know this by it erm,,,,,, NOT WORKING

dont give confidence does it

imagine if they sold cossies with a light on the dash that tells you that your cars melted the engine and you need to buy a new car

all i see when i NOW know what it is is a product for alot of money thats expecting to break,,,,, but when it does it tells me

designer clothes with a tag that will tell you after you washed it when its shrunk


every time you play it you will be scared of the light comming on,,, how can that be fun

How do you tell the difference between an Elite and original one?
