360's die from too much use, causing excess heat to separate the GPU from the mobo. The reason it may clump around the holidays is the over-use of the device, causing higher than normal amounts of heat via gameplay. That's why it *looks* like it's worse around these times of year. In my previous RRoD case, it was in March - a non-peak time, but I was running the X360 into the ground since a friend was living at my house, and we played tons of multiplayer. I trash my X360s. I pack it up very often (and rather haphazardly) into a small box, about 1 time a week (every week) to take to my finacee's, or a church event. What's more shocking is that my power brick hasn't crapped out yet - There are tons of exposed wires protruding from the rubber-end of the device (where the light is). |
That don't sound too healthy either...
Man that sucks though. Hopefully the one you get back will have better luck
@OP which model 360 do you have?
