Shouldn't you add the option:

"No, but it's coming!"

Anyway, happened to me once. Had it for a year and eight months give or take so it was a reasonable life for a first gen mobo.

Reasonable repair time and it's back on the table.

My launch console was fine, but sold that to get my Elite. That is still going strong as well. :) With that being said, however, I did purchase an extended service plan from Microsoft. It's very reasonably priced and I have found them to be very friendly whenever I called in with support questions.

Happened to one of my mates. They couldn't replace it instore as they had none left so he got a refund.

Went a while without a 360 and he now has a black elite & bioshock to play with.

Hope it doesn't happen to me. I ain't buying one till the beginning of next year.

Yes, had it happen on my 360 last year sometime but my new one is fine. A few of my friends have had it happen to them also but I did the X-Clamp replacement fix for them and theirs are now still going strong.

If mine does RROD me I'll just X-Clamp fix it and save myself the hassle. Can't be bothered waiting a month for a refurb/repair by MS when I could fix it myself in 10 minutes.

I got it once, back in March, with Oblivion. Thankfully I haven't had it since, but I do plan to send my system in because my dvd drive is starting to get on my nerves with all the disc errors I'm getting. So hopefully they'll put a better dvd drive in there as well as any hardware changes that need to be made to avoid future rrod.

Hell, maybe if I push hard enough, they'll even give me a new system with an hdmi port and all! :p Guess it can't hurt to ask. :)
