Has your 360 ever gotten RROD, and if so how many times? How many times will you turn in you 360 because of RROD before you give up on the system, this second question is for those people who havent gotten RROD also.

I just was intererested, because Iv heard stories of people who were on there 8th console because of RROD and I want to know how far you will go if it happens to you.

Yes.

3 time.

And I will turn the system over as many times as it happens, since it costs me nothing at all, and I play my 360 more than my Wii and PS3.

No and hopefully never will. However, it did break due to my brother's carelessness.

I've gotten an RROD from a power surge but that lasted what 10 seconds before it was up and running again :P

The failure rate has been around 10-30% (exact amount we don't know). However, hardware revisions seemed to have put it back to the typical 5%.

The problem is, if your 360 is the one that dies, you get it replaced with one that died in the past aswell so people that have their console die once get stuck in this awful circle of revived, soon to be dead, systems.

Just got the RROD for the third time. Sucks especially during the holiday season. I won't give up on the system though.

It happened to my launch console, and I had it back in my wall unit 10 days later for free. I had to replace my first two ps2s because of Disc Read errors. Will I continue to get my 360 fixed if it breaks...yea y not? Like someone said before I play it more then I play my other two consoles.

I had it once. I know take precautions such as playing it on it's side. One mistake that Microsoft made was marketing the 360 standing up, which blocks the largest intake vent and heats the 360 up. Those third party intercoolers actually hurt the 360 believe it or not. When my first RROD happend my 360 was standing with a intercooler. That was over a year ago and I've yet to get another RROD.

Mine RROD's maybe 2ish months ago. First it just started freezing, then I tried it the next day and it happened. Sent it in and got it back about 2 1/2 weeks later( maybe 3). New one hasn't had a problem.

I had one which I sent to MS to fix. I had another one on the refurbished box they sent me but I can still play on it after that not like my first rrod. So far, I haven't experienced it again for some time now.

I plan to buy an elite next year.

I had my launch 360 up until the week before Halo 3 released when it got the RROD. I just went ahead and bought a Halo 3 Edition Xbox 360 and sent in my old one to get repaired a few weeks later.

You know why MS hasnt fixed the rrod problem? Because people are ok with it. If you people that get rrod dont care about it then why should MS?

Once. Mine just got back from the repair center yesterday.

I've had to send it in one other time though, due to disc drive issues. The DVD drive ruined two of my games, one of which Microsoft replaced free of charge because they published it (Gears.)

Cows will just say yes and claim they sent it 4 times! But no, I have not gotten it...yet. Everytime I turn it on for the first time it makes some strange noise...like its scratching a disc, but either a, there is no disc in or b, the disc isnt scratched....its sort of like a moaning sound. Anyone have this before?

Zero for me, Im past the 1st year mark.

And I will keep getting replacements ect, as long as my 3 year warranty is up. I love my Xbox360.

360 owners are going to be paranoid and think cows are going to vote yes, when only less than five of them will say yes, and then some 360 owners are going to lie, and then some cows are going to tel lthe truth. But lemmings you need to understand this has happened to tons of people, just cuz it hasnt happened to u doesnt make it a conspiracy.

Mine RROD once but I didn't mind it only took 2 weeks to get it repaired. And my PS2 broke 7 times all with disk read errors. But with the ps2 it took like a month to get back. So I bought a slime PS2 and it works fine.

My 360 is a launch console, but the only problem I've ever encountered was when it froze once while playing Oblivion (it's been a long time). That doesn't mean I don't worry, though.
