The OP is just a little sight of things to come. Sooner next year lots of 2007 buyers will face the inevitable reality. I wonder what they'll do? pay repair? re-buy? abandon?

Not really.  2007 brought Falcon's which are much more reliable.  Of all my friends with Falcons, none have RROD'd yet.  His was an original model with the most heat produced and the highest power usage.

Next year and from here on out things will only improve as the Jaspers take over and maybe even Valhalla will make a showing soon.


I can vouch on the bold

I have had a Falcon 360 for about 1 year and a half now about to hit 2 years this december coming up. It has not RROD on me or has lagged or froze on me for that matter. Plays games wonderful

Yeah, RRoD has been significally reduced and is probably about on the level with the PS3.  The only people that really bring it up (other than the people who actually just got it or may think they're getting it) are generally the people trying take the 360 down a notch because they're insecure in their own console.

Case in point-- look through The's posting history.

-edit-

I'd let the 360 rest up and then try again.  If it's getting too hot make sure it's in a well ventilated place and if it's still having problems and you're still under warranty, just force a RRoD and let MS fix it.

Ms were saying this problem was not covered by them! Nob heads!!!

Still its the best console ever!

Plus its way cheaper to replace. I consider it just like how people upgrade their phones to the latest SKU thats out. Any Zepthr motherboard owner should considering upgrading their 360 to the Falcon motherboards at least.

I wouldn't recommend doing that.

How so? He is trading it in as working condition. You saw his video he posted in this thread. He was playing his 360 for 6 minutes straight in the video and he says the problem happens peridocally. So he is okay, its trade in able!
