I recently got an Xbox 360, but RRODs aren't in the past whatsoever.
In the "My xbox is broked" thread at SA, a lot of the recent RRODs listed have been Falcon units. In fact, over a weekend 5 of the 5 units reported RROD'd or broken in that thread were all Falcon units. The issue seems to have been mitigated somewhat, but definitely not fixed.
It didn't stop me from getting a 360. I expect it will break and I don't really care. MS will have to replace it or I will have to pay for a repair. The Xbox 360 isn't my primary gaming system anyway -- the Wii is.
Paying to play online is obnoxious, and I'd feel a lot better about it if MS would put that money back into hosting dedicated servers rather than just taking some xbox on someone's crappy home connection and making it the host. That gives them a host advantage and it assures that latencies won't be as good as if there was a good dedicated server system in place.
