I don't know if anyone caught the pictures of the falcon board, but the X clamp is replaced by heavy duty screws. That combined with the secondary heat sink removing more heat probably means the RROD problem will be *signficantly* reduced. How significant? Time will tell but I bet they have it down close to average failure rate of electronic products overall...

I'm on a "second heat sink" unit but I don't think it is a Falcon. It is a late July manufacture. It is quiet and produces quite a bit less heat than my first unit. Note my first unit didn't RROD... The DVD drive failed.

For those on the fence, find a falcon with an HDMI and jump in. You have a 3 year warranty. You are missing out on some amazing games while you sit. Even though I was irritated with my 360's failure, I am still happy I bought it. Gears, Oblivion, Halo, PGR4, and so on are just mocking you as you sit on the sidelines...

 what kind of failure ??? and what did they fix on your console ???
