Ok so the horrible RROD seems to be in the past now and Microsoft are soon to be announcing some newer and even more reliable SKU's soon so will this prompt more people to buy or rebuy the 360?

So if the prospect of a fully reliable 360 does not tempt you to shed some cash for a 360 then what will?

Free Xbox Live? More exclusive games? a price cut? (espeically in the US)

I want to know what peoples views are of the 360 now after the period of RROD and if they feel safe in investing in the 360, if not then why not?

What I want: Smaller. Quieter. Cheaper. Free Live.

A 360 is like a downgraded version of my pc thats why to be honest. most games that are good on 360 comes to my pc aswell, pluss guess what they run alot smoother with better graphics.

it's loud, accessories aren't cheap, some things that should come as standard don't, you have to pay to play online, there are still a few reasons not to get a 360.

i feel safe in getting a 360, that's why i have one, but the average joe either still associates rrod with the 360, or just isn't interested.

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.

very very few games I'm interested in.

I won't buy a 360 because of RRoD.

Wait I already own one.

Where were you when people are claiming Falcons are more stable then the rock of Jabralter BFJ? I knew there was someone who kept track of these things....damn my memory...and inability to spell Jabralter

I'd consider buying a second 360 if they made a smaller, quieter, cooler running/more energy efficient model with a larger standard HDD and built in WiFi. I'd even pay $300 for one which is only $50 less than the last one I bought.

I do have to say that my main reason for buying a second, cooler running 360 would be that I'm pretty much convinced most won't last longer than three years without being refurbished/repaired and I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of 360 games that I enjoyed, yet can't play because my old console finally took a dump on me.

Poor QC is the main reason I won't be buying an Xbox 720 for the first year or two of production when it finally comes out.

My 360, at least, isn't loud. At least, I've never noticed it while playing.

Accessories aren't cheap for any system. And with the 360, you really don't need anything else out of the box to get it up and running (unless you run HDMI and/or digital audio, and HDMI and TOSLINK cables are dirt-cheap.)

What should come standard with the 360 that doesn't, exactly? I can't think of a single thing.

Yeah, the paying to play online is kind of stupid. The online service, IMO, isn't anything special. But it's only five bucks a month, so it's not like you're paying out the wazoo or anything.
