Wellll ... I'm one of those ANNOYING people that is still on his launch console.

But, check it, I WANT the RRoD! But, for the life of me, I CAN'T GET IT! The 3 year coverage for RRoD runs out on me come 12/22/08 and I would LIKE to get it BEFORE then. But I can't. Oh, and to make matters worst, my GPU has been going out on me and the only way I get it working again is the towel trick.

How's that for irony? I just can't win.

 

Yeah that doesn't make any sense.

Besides.  If your GPU is going out, DON'T do the towel wrap, or you'll just prolong its life.  If the GPU is going out, turn your XBOX on, turn the TV off, and walk away.  I bet you it RRODs on you in less than 12 hours.  That's what happened to mine.

Once the GPU started craping on me, it was because of a current shortage which was a result of the soldering issue... which always leads to the RROD.  So just turn it on, and leave it alone... it'll die by itself.
