Seriously, how do you guys do it? Is there a secret or something? Not trying to sound mean or anything... o_o

do wat?

Get a RROD. I've got my 360 for a year now and nothing bad happened to it (yet).

Just wondering, do you guys STOP playing sometimes, like every hour or something (and take that recommended 15 min break each gaming session)? o_o

It's funny, there was a post in the big "360 broked" thread at SA a couple of days ago saying that a guy with a launch unit finally had his first failure.  I thought he was the last one left ;)

So are these ones happening on the new chipsets? Because I heard reports that the new ones were much less likely to RROD. 

The jury is still out.  The flaws that cause RRODs still exist, but there is a little bit less heat in the system with the Falcon chipsets, and heat is believed to be the catalyst.  You /should/ have a reduced chance to get an RROD, but the Falcon hasn't even been out a year yet and a lot of people with Falcon units have reported RRODs in the "360 is broked" thread, and I've had some friends with falcons who have had to send them in for repairs.
