I actually got the RROD as soon as I got my console home. I hooked it up and it RROD on me right away. So I called Microsoft, just to confirm i had everything hooked up properly. The tech support guy ran me through the steps and cofirmed my console was dead. However since I had just bought it from Walmart, I took it back and got a new one. No problems since and i have played quite a few 360 games. This was also early 07 so the problem was not yet so well known. I just thought it humorous that my first 360 experience was the RROD. I also seen it one other time, by friends died right after he moved.

The PS2 DRE was mentioned as well, quite a few of my friends experienced that debacle. Four of them have gone through multiple PS2's, and mine died a short time after i sold it to a friend. I also have a stubborn friend who refuses to replace his even though it wont play blue disks or dvd's and has some trouble with PS1 games. I don't quite trust Sony hardware after last gen.
