That problem hasn't popped up in a while, all the new 360s are very stable. And while I'm no fanboy (I've owned Nintendo and Sony consoles in the past), the 360 is by far the superior choice for online gaming, even if you do have to pay $50 a year for the service.

RROD were user problems really, demand for the new system didn't provide long term testing, and demand for slim compact units compounded that problem of long term testing for heat problems in different enviorments.
A a true hardware flaw would have them all break, but no so |

So why did MS extend the warranty to three years if it was user causes? Console gaming is ok I guess, but PC gaming is where it is at.

Ive never had an Xbox 360 get the RRoD. Even the 360 i got at midnight when they came out lasted until the new slim came out last year when i traded it in for the new one.

I have a theory about the original 360's rrod. It wasn't really an overheat thing, and if you religiously kept your console horizontal, you may never see an RROD. Vertically, there's no airflow on the old design. Also, the southbridge chip isn't held in with any pins, just solder dots. If you kept it vertical and it got too hot, that solder got soft and separated on the southbridge a little...Which is why when you wrapped it in a blanket and set it horizontal and intentionally made it hot, that solder would soften and sort of reset itself.

I've had my xbox for 4-5 years now and only had 1 problem with it. I think it was an E64 error or something like that. I do have to say though, that the Microsoft support was fantastic. Mine was even off warranty and they still fixed it because of the type of error. I say fixed it, but what they really did was send me a new/refurbished one to replace it. They paid all shipping as well. Cost me nothing, and I was back up and gaming by the end of the week. I have the halo 3 special edition camo green/orange xbox. and the new one they sent me was even the same kind. So I usually stick up for microsoft in the console gaming world..... Windows is another story haha

Shark attack!

The first company to realize that a new system that uses only flash will destroy! If steam and Microsoft or Sony teamed up they would be unstoppable! Games prices would drop and sales would increase with higher profit margins! another big thing is that flash memory is further compressed and requires less energy meaning that those systems would actually function better! You will see Flash memory is the future of all gaming!
