I only sent my 360 (Arcade Edition) to Microsoft once. ;P
It lasted a good year and a half before I had to.

Btw you usually only get RROD when you have bad ventilation or something about humidity

Mine has been working ever since I bought it 2 1/2 years ago

Yea...i had my first 360 lying down on the carpet getting a lot of dust.. i guess that was what caused the first 360 to overheat faster and got the RROD eventually..:(

Maybe thats why my 1st elite got RROD
Its ventilation is bad thats why I bought a XCM Core Cooler V2 for Xbox 360 -Twin LED Fan's -

Why would anybody buy another one instead of sending their old one in? That seems like a huge waste of money.

1. Had for like 3-4 years now. Occasional freeze and have to rest, no rig as of yet. I bought on late enough though that I shouldn't ever get it. Considering I keep it on a shelf, dust regularly and don't pull 24 hour gaming marathons due to class and guitar I expect it will last for years.

most of the time if you just unplug it as soon as it does it it will fix itself. but sometimes it does get permanent. but mines only done it once thankfully. if it does it again im just sticking to ps3

Agreed.
Anyway, I've only had one 360. I've had nearly since release, and I've never gotten the RROD. I don't know whether to attribute this to good luck or divine intervention.
