Gotenks98 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I was thinking of buying a 360 elite after the holidays. I was wondering if people are still having this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unto Darkness Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Technically speaking, the newer systems are more efficient and are less prone to RRODs, but it also boils down to your usage and luck. No one will guarantee you won't get a RROD, but the chances are reduced for newer units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troGGers Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've had no issues with my Xbox that is almost two years old. It's just like anything else.....random chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advent Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Random chance, excessive gaming, and bad Xbox ventilation, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I think you can tell from the relative absense of "omg my millionth 360 has the rrod" threads in this forum that the newer machines are better at keeping the heat away from where it matters. Honestly, the RROD isn't something to worry about anymore providing you look after your system. And if it does blow up, you still have that three year warranty.

nomis_nehc Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Well, if you get the Jasper one, I highly doubt it will happen. The Falcons already greatly reduced that probability, and with Jasper bringing in smaller die for cpu and gpu, and less power consumption, I would think you'll be pretty good to go.

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted December 10, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 10, 2008 There have definitely been fewer reports of RRoDs as the console revisions have happened, but it's still down to how you treat it, and also luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emorex Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 You have 3 years warranty. If it does RROD be glad. You don't play for a week and you get an upgraded console. My console had some other graphical problems (not RROD) and I got a new(er) console with HDMI and a quieter drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) I'd also recommend getting a Jasper. They should be prevalent :blush: prolific after the holidays, so it shouldn't be hard to find one.
