1. RROD, I live in Texas, so got mine back in about 5 working days.
2. Great Games...why would I get rid of it?
3. If the library is equally as strong, hell yeah.

Given your comments though, I'd guess you never had your PS2 crap out on you (my first one did). I buy a system to play games, that's it. The 360 has that, in spades.

I've been lucky enough to never have the RROD problem. However i've had to replace my PS2 after years of it crapping out on me. There was no warranty for me to replace it under so I spent $150 on a new one. I don't bitch though. Why? It's a good console with fantastic games, and so is the 360. Why do people sled down snowy hills when they know each time they're going to have a grueling climb back up? It's because those few moments of joy outweigh the annoyance it takes to make it happen. I have to blow into my N64 everytime I want to play a game. Sometimes it needs to be wiggled around in there. It's not a fun process. When I finally get it working though it was all worth it. I wouldn't let something like a hardware failure, especially one that gets fixed for free, stop you from enjoying something you would love othewise.

i have gotten it twice i just always go back because of the games that you can only get on the 360 Halo gears etc it is just too much fun to let it go

1. 3 times. The last time was a few months ago and the turn around time was a week. Plus I have a 2nd 360 so it wasn't a big deal for me

2. Nope would never get rid of it

3. Yep I will get the next Xbox as I am a big online gamer, and live is tops for it in the console space

I don't even have a 360, but I can tell you pretty much most of the answers to this:

1) 0 for myself obviously, though I think pretty much all that I know who have a 360 have gotten it at least once

2) As long as Microsoft replaces it for free, of course they won't get rid of the system. Once you've got bout 3 or more games for a system, getting rid of it just isn't practical. The only reason that there would be to get rid of the system is if you would have to buy a new console, at which point THAT would become even more impractical.

3) That will still likely depend more on what the next console is capable of. After how much trouble the RRoD has caused, no company would be stupid enough to risk that again. Having a long series of RRoD that cause personal events to be disrupted (like if buddies come over to play or missing out on an online deal or something) might cause people to look towards competitors first. If they held out from getting the PS3 or the Wii and the PS4 or Wii2 are backwards compatible, that might be further incentive for them to go towards those consoles first.
Personally, the RRoD is about 50% of the reason I wouldn't consider 360 as a second console, the other 50% is that any of the HD games that I'm mildly interested in are all multiplatform combined with MGS4 and LBP being PS3 exclusive.

1. Once, took 3 week to get it back and I got 1 free month of XBL and 10,000 MP for free

2. Why would I get rid of the system with the best games?

3. All depends on what happens. I was a big PS2 fan last gen but when I heard of the PS3 price I started looking elsewhere.

seriously, my RROD experience led me to get a ps3. lol, imagine if i didnt get rrod'd, i probably would of never bought a ps3. so it actually turned out to be a good thing.

oh yeh, i got it again, so i bought an arcade and threw the old one out. i kept the hardrive and recovered my gamertag so it wasnt a problem getting a new console. ive had my arcade since jan 2008- no rrod, but it broke 2 of my cd's- one was halo 3 but it still works. its just that some maps dont load on halo online.

I don't have an Xbox 360 but can think of a major reason why someone who experiences RROD would still get another system... they have games for it already. For example, I have the Wii and about 20+ games for it. So if my Wii crapped out, I'm just going to give up on it if Nintendo was going to replace it at no cost to me? What do I do with my games? Even if I sell them, there is no way I get the money back I spent on them.

So of course, if someone has any system and it fails, they will somehow get a new one if they have a game library for it. And especially if it's games they love. My Dreamcast had stopped working years back but I had a lot of games for it and knew eventually I would buy a new one somehow. Thank goodness for the incredible used video game store near me that has great finds there.

I will say though that the RROD is one thing that makes me question buying it. I'd rather buy Microsoft over Sony but with Blu Ray and the threat of RROD, it has me leaning towards Sony. Microsoft has fixed the situation with the 360 somewhat, haven't they? Are newer Xbox 360's more reliable than older models?

They are more reliable. To what extent though, nobody has any facts on. Anyone that tells you differently is lying. RROD may be practically gone, or it may still be a major problem(albeit smaller than before), but it will take a while for people to figure out which.

I've gotten RROD twice, and I just sent it back to get it fixed each time. Never had a a second thought about it; the thing has the best games imo. Its more then worth the wait
