If I get one of those 360 Arcade SKUs (the one with the Sega Superstar Tennis game, I think), is that a guaranteed new model? Sorry. Kinda felt like a newbie here, but it still feels scary to get a 360 with that happening. |
Yes, the newer ones, such as the arcades with SST, are definately going to be fine.
When someone gets RRoD, there's about a 99.5% chance that it's going to be an older model at least 1.5 years old. In Shadowblinds' case, he has a refurbished 360 (which was rebuilt off an older model, with likely old parts), and mine is a refurbished one which is no less than 1.5 years old too.
The newer ones have a very low failure rate, which is inline with the other consoles such as the Wii and PS3. The only ones that had major problems were the older X360s.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
