102 Flawless

That's a 46% or Neowin members that claim to have had one or more RRODs (poll is self-selecting, subject to fraudulant clicks, and not implemented in an accurate or scientific way)

Still, interesting, none-the-less.

Mines has had 1 RROD but I was given it that way with a voided warranty so I used the XClamp mod to fix it and it's been running fine since :)

Owned it now about 5 months

Original Model

It's a Core system but I plan to add the HDD at a later date :)

How many have you had?

1 RROD which was repaired in a few days with a copy of PGR3 and a months Live thrown in :)

How long have you owned your console?

Just over a year

Do you have the original design or the new Falcon 65nm core?

The Original

Is it a Core, Arcade, Pro, Elite, Halo, etc?

A Core :(

How many have you had? 1.

How long have you owned your console? One month, 15 days.

Do you have the original design or the new Falcon 65nm core? Original. Checking MS forum to see how I could tell the difference, it seems the label on the box was covered with a label that had less info. Checked the power brick and it's 203W.

Is it a Core, Arcade, Pro, Elite, Halo, etc? Elite

How many have you had?

1 RROD, still waiting to get it repaired (MS Support are on Holiday at the moment :( )

Lucky you! I have an extended warranty with Harvey Norman, took the console back to them and they said they would replace it with a brand new one, but soon as we mentioned RROD was the problem they said the warranty doesn't cover it, contact MS (which we have, but they are on holiday so gotta wait for them to come back so we can send the dead console in)..I wish we got it through EB now :p at least they don't seem to give you the run around...

I've had two 360's first one (Premium) from release date in the UK (End of November 05 sometime) and the 2nd one which is a Falcon unit (Pro) from 2 months ago, sold my original 360 to a mate and both are still working perfectly, never had any RROD problems!

I'm currently on my 3rd 360. My first one (bought 3rd December 2005) overheated after 2 weeks, but I got it back repaired in time for Christmas. It then broke 8 months later, where I got a new one from Microsoft. Then early on this year, I had to buy another one, which is the one I currently own. This wasn't due to the RRoD, but because the console was banned from Xbox Live ;)

I've owned my current one for about 7 months now.

I've got the original chip design.

It's a Pro one. I've got no plans to upgrade to the Elite.

Wow.

Yeah. In the poll I linked to earlier, 42% of people were on their 2nd or more 360. If anyone ever thought the billion dollars MS put aside for this was a bit extreme, just take a look at those numbers and you can see that it will cost that much just to cover the RRODs.

Had 1 RROD; returned it about a week later and got it back a week or so after that. Actually, I should say that I got back a different, refurbished model, but it was in mint condition anyway and had a quieter dvd drive (the one on my other 360 broke as well, at the same time, incidentally). I still think they should send you more than just a free month of xbox live for the time and effort.

As a side note, I wish it had happened after the HDMI 360s came out. I don't think its fair to the older customers to just suddenly include it with the system and offer little alternative besides the vga cables for everyone else.

Halo 3 Special Edition console given to my son for Christmas, already scratched a ring around a Rock Band disc. It was positioned horizontal, wasn't moved, bumped, or otherwise jarred neither while playing nor while turned off. I was in the room playing when it happened.

    • Exciting! It’s amazing how hearing Japanese can naturally enhance the perceived quality of any experience or product.
    • Your other comment in another article says otherwise, namely "Microsoft veteran wants to replace every single line of C/C++ code with Rust and AI".
    • Sued and... exonerated. Oh, they learned a lesson alright. They learned that anyone who uses the word "antiturst" in conjunction with "Microsoft" is an idiot, even if that person is Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. That judge ruined the image of the US justice system. Microsoft Edge has a 5.14% market share. Also, Windows is no longer the #1 OS. None of this constitutes a monopoly. Google Chrome, however, has 70.25% share. Also, Google's Android is the #1 OS. Now that's closer to a monopoly.
