I'm tempted to make it RROD because, even though I would never intentionally cheat someone, I really feel MS may have found a way to skirt the promised RROD coverage. The post-NXE spike in E 74 errors is suspicious, from a statistical perspective. On the other hand, HDMI and a quieter, cooler, lower-power (forgot to mention that one) machine would be nice, and I swear this machine must have been on for at least 2000 hours over the past 2.7 years... I've played Oblivion, alone, for 600+ hours... |
I agree that MS shouldn't cheat anyone, and should offer a 3 year warranty for all hardware related issues till they can get their act together. It seems like RROD is lot less problematic then it was a year ago but thats no execuse to still have hardware failure.
Also if your going to put in 2000+ hours a Jasper may be worth considering depending how much in electricity you will save running the newer machine. It could be a few dollars a month you could save in electricity but over a few years that could probably pay for a Arcade Jasper, or at the worst half of the cost.
It's just that simple.
