#5
Iv bought 1. Had for like 3 years and nothing wrong. (KNOCK ON WOOD. )
#6
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 -
#10
My xbox only has gotten the RROD one time.

I sent it off to microsoft...

So my answer is one.
#11
Why would anybody buy another one instead of sending their old one in? That seems like a huge waste of money.
#12
only bought 1, over a year and going, usually on my carpet or dresser
#13
I got 1 RROD, and it went away on its own O.O
But I still have my first Xbox, got it like 2 years ago :3

I bought 2 one I kept on the carpet in my room it lasted me oh id say 2 and a half years then it got majorly overheated because I left town for about a month or so and sometime during that month my little sister decided to turn it on and leave it on.....when i got come the case started caving in as if there was a dent in it or something and all the inside metal pieces were burnt I think it could have easily started a house fire:rolleyes: now I have an 800$ xbox 360 lol:D

Yea...my 360 had the same fate as well it was at the carpet getting dust....plus i was playing everyday more than 13hours and got rrod eventually
#18
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.

#23

#24
just got my xbox back from mircosoft about a week ago because of RROD.
But i think it was because i spent way too many hours straight on call of duty and fried all my internals. even towel trick wouldent work
#25
I only had to send mine in once.
#26
had to send mine in once but they covered it free and i got a year of xb live free so its all good. although it did take them like 4 damn months to get it back to me..
#27
I have the same 360 i bought a year and a half ago

Iv'e never gotten the red ring :D
#28
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
#29

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.
#31
