MS has pretty much bred the RROD out of newer models of the Xbox360.

On top of which, sometimes it was the fault of the user, anyway. Way to stick your Xbox360 on a crowded shelf with no ventilation, geniuses. Sometimes, people need to stand in front of a mirror when they outstretch their arm pointing at whom to blame.

I have a brand new Xbox360, and it sits on a wire shelf, on it's side, with all ventilation ports clear for the cooling. I play the system for a couple hours at a time and have yet to touch it and find it to be unusually warm. The N64 rests below it. I know the RROD is pretty much "ancient history," but I'm still taking precautions where my X360 is concerned. I take care of all my consoles. They all have necessary breathing room.
