Yeah but are the newer models really 100% RROD proof? I was so pissed when my Elite with the Falcon motherboard spontaneously RROD'd last week, and everyone was saying last holiday season how the Falcons were much more reliable. Are there any cases of the new Jasper models failing?

 

Jesus people, no console is 100% guaranteed not to break.

I'm not going to lie to you and say the 360 doesn't break or breaks just as often as the other consoles, but it isn't that big of a deal. If you console does break though, you really don't have much to worry about since it does have a 3 year warranty.

 

 

I'm not saying that... a simple disc-read error here or a faulty disc drive or lense there is perfectly acceptible.

Butt still having complete hardware failures as such high rates while the system is on the 4th version of the main board now is not acceptible at all.  And the 3 year warranty to me is nice to have but its like the Lemon Law... its good that we have it but after awhile if things don't actually get better then people are just going to stop buying Lemons altogether.

You do know people (or sane people at least) never buy lemons on purpose right?

And like I said, every console, *every*, console can break.  No console is 100% break proof, even the PS3 and Wii.  I'm not talking about faulty disc drives or a broken lense, I'm talking about consoles actually breaking.  Electronics break.  That just happens.

Yes, again, the 360 breaks more than the others but 1) it has been significantly reduced, and 2) you still have the three year warranty.  For something $200+ you would probably be paying $50+ for that warranty so it is a good thing.

And as for videos all over Google and YouTube, get a life.  As I said, electronics break and of course there are going to be people pissed off their console breaks and there are going to be fanboys that already don't love the 360 that have their 360's break.  They are the ones that go on the internet and declare an epidemic.

Believe me, the vast majority of people that tell you the RRoD problem is still some epidemic and most of those people that post videos are fanboys.  They get their kicks off of trying to make something they don't like look bad.  I have no idea why but they are irrational people and just shouldn't be listened to.
