The RROD topic needs to go away. Microsoft admitted there was a problem, rectified it (something no other console manufacturer has done), and revised the hardware to minimize future cases. Why the media won't get over it is beyond me.

Besides, anyone who's been gaming through the generations knows that consoles die (maybe not as quickly as the 360). I've had to replace my Intellivision, NES, Genesis, TG-16, PS1, Dreamcast and PS2. My 360 RROD after 3 years which is just about as long as both my PS1 and PS2 lasted. It took Sony 3 consoles to make a high quality product like the PS3. Hopefully the 3rd time's a charm for Microsoft as well.

That's your personal experience. My SNES, N64, PS2 all still work. Maybe try taking better care of your things.


You mean I shouldn't throw my console and dump soda on it... Thanks for the help.

Notice how I didn't list the SNES,N64,and Gamecube are not on that list.  It wasn't because I didn't own them.  Nintendo builds the highest quality systems, without question.  You should feel lucky that none of your consoles stopped working.  I just know that my personal experience and many others I know have all had to replace consoles one time or another.
