| montrealsoon said: I am not saying my anecdotal incident I present is typical, but I have a friend who bought a second 360 IMMEDIATELY after his 360 RRoD'ed, as he felt he really needed his game machine. He did receive his RRoD replacement a few weeks later. Since then he also bought a 'newer chipset 360', and hasn't sold or given away the other two. |
I know various people who bought a second 360 as a backup unit. If one of the consoles fails, they always have the backup when they wait for the console to return from repairs. Some bought a PS3 in addition. Most of them keep a 360 because they invested too much money on 360 games and add-ons, but they probably will wait when Microsoft releases a new console to see if people are experiencing major issues.
