It last till MS sends you a coffin to send it for repair... ;)

Quick question....sorry that I can't help you with your problem...

But how long ago did you buy your 360? I heard that they got the RROD worked out in the last year.

RROD dose not exist for the new 360 anymore, you can got get another 360 which also had a very good price .

Do the towel trick to get it to work. Trade it in a Gamestop for a new 360.

OK.  Send it in MS to fix.  Then trade it in to Gamestop.

I bet majority of used 360 at Gamestop have been in to MS for repair at one point in time.

Towel - Breaks in a few days

vs.

Refurbished - Breaks in a few months and you get free stuff

It really isn't that hard to choose

The new refurbished one comes with the 65nm so you should be all set

Just by another Xbox 360. They are $200. It has the new Falcon motherboard in it. The Falcon incorporates a 65nm CPU and the same 90nm GPU. But it reduces the amount of heat in the Xbox 360, which in turns extends the Xbox 360 life.

I have had my Falcon Xbox 360 since December 2007. I had no RROD or any problems at all.

Just buy another.

1. The RRoD will never truly go away, any console can break and it's just absolutely stupid to say one will never break.
2. The towerl trick is just a trick to get a few more working days while you wait for MS to send you a box or you want to rip off Gamestop.  Just send it to MS.

That's of course an exaggeration, of course RRoD is a lot more common for older units which endured around 33% failure rates per year and people have been using them for a much longer period of time (later for Falcons in the teens %, based on incomplete data, not a full year , fanboys also claimed RRoD had been fixed for Falcons without evidence). But of course currently sold units still endure the RRoD in ever smaller quantities, they however still exist.

It will take a year on the market for the current models for Microsoft to get a clear view on the per year failure rate of the latest 360s. (Industry standards are less than 3% for the first year).
