I haven't had the RROD but my system is only a year old... if I do get it, I won't be happy; I'LL BE PISSED OFF

just dont play the 360 at all

thats the true secret to not getting the RROD

LMAO

And like I said, the new Jasper chipset 360s run cool. It costs just $200 to get an Arcade so as long as your old HDD still works. I can understand wanting to take a stand against MS on principle but hey, they've admitted that they dun fucked up. It happens. They did something about the problem. Sony is infamous for this (read sony "kill switch" thread) but does that mean you should avoid a Playstation 3, PSP or a Vaio or a Bravia or a Walkman or whatever if you really want one? No.

And while it's true that MS rushed out the 360, it may not be that it was their intention to screw over consumers. The Jasper chipset is much more energy-efficient. Back in late 2005/early 2006, if the 360 shipped out at launch with a chipset with the same energy efficient, the console would probably have been more expensive and they would have had to charge more than $400 for the Premium. And let's face it, while many would rather a quality-built console at some extra cost over a cheaply-made console, the average consumer cares a lot about price. Even if they'd probably save more money with the electricity bill savings and not having to buy a replacement console in the long run. Consumers for the most part are "present" oriented. They don't think about hidden costs.

OP: Either your box lost the will to live when you went off and left it alone or god punished you for having sex before you're married. Not likely maybe but it would explain the difference in failure rates.

congrats pbroy XD I got my rrod 2.5 years of owning my 360 and they still fixed it for free :P and sent me a refurb dated 02-2009 and had a much quieter dvd drive... how I got mine RRoD was from a PS2 port of FFXI which I left on for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 6 months just to sell crap on my bazaar.. but yea I was happy to have gotten the RRoD especially since it was within the 3 year warranty XD

anyway my old 360 has been sold to my buddy who is loving the 360 plus I got a jasper elite now..and lately real life has kinda taken up a lot of time so I don't seem to play much nowadays
