HELP! My XBox is scaring me
15 years ago
General
There's no point in hating life...
As I'm positive you all know, the XBox 360 has a wide array of problems, from as humble as simple freezing to the dreaded "Red Rings".
My XBox has been behaving itself so very well for the whole time I've had it, but recently... i dunno.
Perhaps you fellas can help me? Recently, my console has been giving me a slight graphical error where a strip of pixels seem to be a millisecond behind the rest of the screen, a bit like a ripple across the screen. This happens once, then is fine for about half an hour, then does it again. Now, this may just be something to do with frame rates and the actual game itself - it appears to only happen on Assassin's Creed 2 and The Saboteur - and it may very well have been going on for the entire time I've owned it, and I've only just noticed it.
A second thing it keeps doing is the occasional "Open tray" error, where a disk is unread the first few times you put it in the console. This seems to have been remedied for the moment, but I now keep the disks out of the console when I'm not using it.
Now please fellers, help put my mind at ease and let me know whether this is REALLY something to be worried about, or whether I'm really worrying about something not quite as apocalyptic as I think it is. Thanks XD
Oh, and Zearfox, if you make one comment about PS3's, I will hang you from a lamppost by your feet. XD
