My 360 has again succumbed to the dreaded RROD

LOL you can say that again! I knew full well what I was getting into when purchasing a 360 for X-Mas last year so all I could do was shrug and laugh at the situation when it happened to me.

There are only 2 electronics manufacturers that I can think of that I've never had a problem with and can purchase their products with confidence, and they are Nintendo and Panasonic...

I have owned all of Nintendo's systems and handhelds which, aside from the GC, I never had a single problem with, and have now owned 3 Panasonic TVs, a VCR and DVD player, stereo system, portable CD player and camcorder and never had a problem with any of their producs. I'd give an honorable mention to Sony too, but we did have a problem with a TV set years ago that we returned and exchanged for a Panasonic instead, but they are right up there in quality, just a bit more pricey for my liking.

Ninny? Are you serious? Wow ... my NES and my SNES, I had to blow hard into the cartridges to get them to work, AND had to depress the NES cartridges in a certain way to get them to play - and constantly had to reset the system. Don't know what you are talking about, but every homie I know with an NES did the same thing.

Panasonic? Meh. All stuff breaks. I had a horrible time with Panasonic remotes (2 for TVs and 1 for a VCR).

 

Yeah, I'm serious... yes the original NES's infamous "blinking screen" issues were annoying at the time, but that's why we have top-loaders    Plus, I have 3 original NES's besides my top loader, and they ALL still work... I've never had a Nintendo system completely crap out on me or have some kind of hardware problem that renders its game-playing abilities useless.

BTW, the trick is not to blow on the carts like everyone else does, but to simply push them in gently so that they just barely have enough clearance to be pushed down, then wiggle very slightly to the left or right.  Try it, once you get the right touch it works like a charm every time!

And you had problems with your SNES carts?!?  Man, whats wrong with you... the SNES is indescructable... can't tell you how many times ive angrilly slammed carts into it or yanked out of it, mashed the reset button, or thrown controllers at it, but I've never EVER had a problem with id reading games.  Same goes for my N64.
