Ive read about this situation countless times, about people's xboxs RRODing, and instead of sending it in to get fixed...they just go buy another one. I can definitely see the current 7 million unit lead, and coupled with a one year head-start over PS3 as a direct result of this.

It's not like I wrote a post about how I broke a nail on the subway. Believe it or not, the rrod is relevant to us here at CG. So please take your negativity elsewhere if that's a problem. So yeah, I'll just get another one today. Hopefully the new Arcade units are a little more reliable. Thanks for your suggestions and sympathies, everyone. So many people to respond to!

Anyway, I got RROD while doing the NXE update. Left it a few hours and it was fine when I next turned it on. The writing was on the wall though, and a week or so later it kicked the bucket. I'd had my box for about 2.5 years, so I was still within my extended warranty. Sent the thing for repair, and they helpfully informed me that instead of repairing it, they replaced it because it was to wrecked. From my point of view, i'd be happy for my Box to die every 2.5 years, since what then happens is basically a free upgrade, and a months free xbox live.

Are you THAT rich that you can continue to spend money on a machine that is well known for the RRD? Why don't you get a PS3? Sure, you'll spend a $100 bucks more than usual, but that's the only time you'll have to spend good money on a machine that will last you at least 10 years. But I guess some are fanatical about the X360... so they will stick with it regardless of it being a money pit. I don’t get it… your x360 dies on you and your first thought is to buy another one?
