I have a 360 and as a 360 owner i think it would be quite stupid of me or anyone else who owns a 360 to act as if RRoD isnt a major issue. Sure the newer models have less failures, but that doesnt help anyone who bought a 360 before that. Microsoft isnt replacing the older ones when you send them in so the people that have the older models just have to cross thier fingers that it doesnt happen to them. And its not just RRoD errors, mine was my dvd drive that went out 3 different times. On two different consoles at that. My ex sent hers in for a RRoD error and it came back and the wireless controllers didnt work with it.
But my main thing is microsoft really doesnt seem to give a shit about that. They just tell you to send it in and they will fix it for free, like they are doing a favor by not charging you lol. Then they give you a whole month of xbox live for free!!!! YAY!! To bad you lose almost a month of service anyway by sending it in. Ima just say this though, even if you are a xbox supporter or "fanboy" you shouldnt accept how microsoft handles this as being ok. They made a shoddy console and to avoid having a major recall they issued an extended warranty to somewhat cover thier asses. But when people are having to send back multiple consoles (ex. me), fixing it for free just isnt good enough anymore.
