Crap. Guess I still need to wait longer. I want a 360 Microsoft. I really really do. There are so many games I want. Please just make it reliable, and I'll buy it.

You are never going to get a 360 if this is your standard.

1) Some percentage of brand new 360s will always RRoD. When they do, photos will be posted online, you'll see them, and not buy a 360. Even if new 360s are 1,000 times more reliable, all it apparently takes for you to not buy one is for a few photos of a few consoles with RRoD to show up on the internet (based on this "First case of..." story).

2) New 360s could become 1,000 times more reliable ("could," I'm not saying they are), but anyone who really wants to could still MAKE a new 360 RRoD if they try hard enough. And plenty of people out there may want to do so for various reasons, and they will post photos online. Give me any high-tech electronic device and I'll get it to malfunction within one hour.

There will be plentiful cases of RRoD throughout the lifespan of the 360, no matter what Microsoft does.

 


 My friend at school bought a 360 2 or 3 days ago. 10 minutes after he bought it it got RRoD lol. Obviosuly he was able to return it at the store, but it was pretty funy to hear about.
