I heard people say that all 360 RROD,When infact its false...

 

Lets look at it..

 

By 2006 there were 4 million odd something Xbox 360 launched according to VG Charts..

Now if 36% of those 360 RROD,and 50% is 2 million,that means around 1.4 million 360 RROD,in the time peroid of 1 year,and since that first year MS has take great measure to stop the 360 from RROD'ing,and in August 24, 2007. the falcon was released and late 2008 the famous "Japser" was released.

 

And it appears that in Feb 14th 2008, 16% of 360 RROD,including launch consoles (which is when my RROD),according to this site.

Xbox 360 failure rate at 16 percent?

Warranty seller SquareTrade, sampling from a pool of over 1,000 claims, says that it's seeing an Xbox 360 failure rate at around 16 percent. Most Xbox 360 owners -- at least the early adopters -- don't just fear the RRoD, they've come to expect it, and compared to projected failure rates of 3% for the Wii and PS3 (a stat Microsoft claimed initially), it's obvious that this continues to be a spendy problem for Microsoft and a headache for its customers. As 1UP points out, the 16% stat might be a little high, since the type of user that would seek out a separate warranty is probably more of a power user, and the majority of problems are heat-related, but whatever the true number is, it'll probably continue to rise in the immediate future as we all CoD4 our gen one 360s to death, and then eventually fall as the 65nm and eventually 45nm Xboxes fill the market.

 

So yes Xbox 360 is alot more better than the launch ones and have less chance of RROD,and Anyone who had gotten the RROD,got there Xbox 360 fixed for Free and had extra heat sinks added in.

 

If im wrong please correct me.
