well well another unlucky one.... and I've owned 3 360 and none RRoDed on me.... why 3 well I had the first one from launch until the break in in my apt. then got a new one still have it... and right now I'm in europe so I have one for here too...
so listen up I think I have the secret..... NEVER TURN OFF YOUR XB360.... at least that's what I do most of the time and I had maybe a couple freeze and usually because I hot unplug the ethernet cable while playing other than that never had a RRoD problem and it stays on weeks in a row with no reboot or anything...
now about giving up HW after 2 break downs... I wonder how many of you would give up there iPhone after one cracked screen... I drope my phone since I have one about 10 times a week never had to change one for such a normal miss happening.... a trend is a trend such "minor" problems are a real set back for a minority of people... simple you have 2 choice in our societies either you belong and therefore jump on the bandwagon or you are an outcast and decide to walk the other way.... this is true for apple, MS, Sony and shit load of other power scams... good thing in the console world we still have some sort of choice....
